Rest ideas

[ranger 3]

I need some different rest ideas, pictures would help please.

[Andrew Wesley]

well i've done a couple different things.
1. glue a few small strips of leather together to form a thick shelf.
2. used a small piece of wood sanded down.
3. tooth of an animal looks good and works good. (looks really cool when it's from a big predator, like bear or cougar!)
4. smooth polished stone. (have to rough up a flat side to get glue to work, but it looks unusual.)

sorry no pictures. but there's some idea's for you.

Built up leather.

I've been using a Ferret's Floppy rest on most of my bows lately. I also make a wedge of shoe leather and saturate it with superglue...or nothing at all.
