A lot of factors go into how long a rest will last. Number of shots, bow's tune (properly tuned bows are easier on any rest material), weight of arrow, how often the rest gets wet, type of arrow fletch( you're not likely going to damage a 1/4" tall wild turkey feather by running a 3/8" tall "softer" domestic turkey feather over it. Likewise plastic vanes may tear a feather rest up faster) etc.One of the most common questions is "how well do they hold up in rain" My answer is, "as well or better than feather arrow fletching" They will flatten out when soaked but once they dry they are good to go again. Everyday it seems someone is discovering a 50 year old bow that's been in storage for 40+ years with original the feather rest still in tact and shootable. Damascus Dave has been trying to wear out those originals for several years now. He'll order some replacements from me some day...maybe. [/b]
