3-under with elevated rest?

[Okie Dokie]

Does anyone have any experience with shooting 3-under in conjunction with an elevated rest? I currently shoot split with a bear elevated rest and was wondering if it would put the nock point too high for limb tiller.

Works great

Ditto to Jess.

Many people use three under with a fixed crawl or finger walking, which puts the string grip even further away from center than an elevated rest.  Obviously you will have to adjust your nock point with an elevated rest.  Most people don't seem to need as high a nock point when using an elevated rest.  Maybe 3/8” rather than 1/2” or 5/8”, but ymmv.  This makes sense to me, because your string grip using 3 under with an elevated rest will be closer to the location of the split finger string grip shooting off the shelf.

Many 3 under shooters, and particularly those shooting from an elevated rest, tend to keep the bow either vertical or with no more than about a 2* cant.  I know people are likely to chime in saying they cant the bow shooting 3 under with an elevated rest, but that has not been my experience or what I have observed.

I have seen my husband help others by putting an elevated rest on their bow.  I had a recurve that we could not tune. My husband has a way of tillering bows by tracing the limbs over top of each other to check for the lines.  He gets longbows to shoot perfect, but on this Darton the lines were way off and the arrow nock wanted to go a half inch higher than normal.  Instead of re-tillering the bow or having the arrow sit pointing down, he added a Pararest and it worked. He found that the typical, he calls, porpoising when people shoot three under with the nock raised up, with the added elevated rest can shoot with a more level arrow and eliminates the porpoising affect. I shot that Darton with the higher arrow nocking point and Pararest,  three under for a while and we did not need to move the nocking point, as long as I did not draw too hard with my ring finger.

Actually an elevated rest can be put on about an inch high in a bow tillered for split and the bow will tune easier and be quieter that way.
Keeps the draw force centerline on the original design.

Have experienced no issues.

I have for two+ years and love it, for me it's all positive. The only down side I can think of is the stick on rest falling off while hunting and not having an other one with you :-).
