Vintage bows, arrow plates & rug rests, what do you do to....

[Hobow]

prevent wear of these original components?  Do you just shoot and let them wear or do you remove and store them for future use?  I always store the original string of course for safety reasons...  What do you do on your bows?

Just use them generally they last a long time.

That is what they were made for, use them.

I used to shoot off the shelf/rug, then I switched to putting small brush rests in the sight window, then I switched to putting Trap's feather rests on the shelf and that is what I use now. My opinion the feather rest works best. No replacing rugs and the feather rests are quite durable.

Thanks for the replys. I kinda suspected that you all don't worry too much about it but I wasn't positive.  I do like the feather rest on my bows that came with them though.

Thanks again.
