Nala,
I think the Gen III comes with a radiused shelf. Mine is Gen II I think and just has a bit of a "ledge", but I shoot with sealskin which is thick and it shoots off the shelf just fine. I'm guessing these are cut further past center than Bob's wood riser, which are 3/16ths past. I use a plunger off the shelf in the slower hole. Without one I'd guess you may have to build the sideplate out a bit.

Well I done some shooting today and made a change or 2.
I raised the brace up to almost 8 inches and it did get much quieter with each of the 4 different arrows I have in my quiver.
I then went back and got the brace back to 7 1/2 just to see if it was still as quiet. It was pretty close. The 8 inch might be just a tad quieter.
One thing I noticed though is that my arrows looked like they were slower at 8 inches than they were at 6 3/4 inches. Which I guess that's to be expected, but I didn't think it would be noticeable like it was. Is that normal?
Lastly, I had a pair of cat whiskers on each side and I cut one off of each side and then measured like you all said and then moved the top one to 1/4 of the length and the bottom to 1/3rd the length. Honestly I really couldn't tell that much difference at all.
I would like to try shooting off of the shelf just to see how it is. I might like it and it might be just the ticket. I won't know till I try it though.
The shelf on my riser looks like a squashed pyramid. If you had a pyramid and took the palm of your hand and pushed down on it until it was about 1/4 inch high, that's what it looks like. Naturally it's as wide as the shelf is so there's plenty of room.
I don't know whether it is supposed to have something on it like the fuzzy side of velcro or a leather piece or something just to lessen the harsh sound of dragging your shaft across bare metal. Also I would not want to have to use a side plunger. If I went to shooting off the shelf I would want it to be as simple as possible.
Thanks all

Nala,
I've got Border 6.5's on mine which need a lower BH, so I'm not much help there. I'd give Bob a call on his recommendations for "off the shelf". He can save you some trial and error.

I talked to Bob today. He gave me some advice on how to try shooting off the shelf. Gonna try it this weekend. Pretty excited about seeing how it will be too.
Will update later.

My good bud that i shoot regularly with took 2nd in the World's with a Morrison last year.
His bow is relatively quiet with very light gpp shafts and no silencers. His brace height is well above the recommendation.
