Arrow shelf padding?

Sorry my bow terminology is not up to par, but I have a question. I am shooting a Bear Super Kodiak and noticed today that the fuzzy padding on the arrow shelf is worn completely down where the arrow rest. Should I replace it with Bears product or do something else. I see some people have leather on the shelf. Seems like that would hold up way better than what I got.

I like the "bear hair" rest. They seem quieter than leather when arrow is drawn. They seem to hold up well for me, and look great on bear bows.

The most durable and quiet shelf rug I have used, I made from a close sheared coyote foreleg. I attached the rug with contact cement. Sheared nutria also works well but is not as durable as the coyote.

Soft side of Velcro is about all I use (I like feather rests too). It's cheap and durable. I wish I could find a good use for all the left over hard sides of it I have laying around lol.

I like the Bear hair rests.They last way longer for me than velcro or anything else,are quiet and afford a little cushioning.

X3 for the Bear Hair. I put them on most of my bows and don't even own a Bear. I've used Velcro, but it seems to wear down too fast.
Newhouse, why do you have to shear the coyote foreleg? That fur is already pretty short as is. - John

Get the industrial grade of velcro. It is thicker and stick like mad.

Fisher Cat, I try and get all the guard hair cut very short and just leave everything about 1/8 inch long. The longer guard hair can move the shaft around a little while drawing.

For rests I use velcro, you can get huge rolls cheaply. For strike plates with no build out I use black mole-skin, for build outs is use velcro.

Soft side of Velcro or moleskin. Both are adhesive backed and work great

I really like seal skin if you can find it. I don't think it's legal to buy it anymore but you might find someone that has some lying around.
