What kinds of rests do you use

[bdgerfn20]

Just wonderin what kinds of rest you guys like to shoot. It looks like the the only ones really used are off the shelf with a plate with the bear hair and the other little ones that hold you arrow off the shelf dont really know what they are called.

I have seal skin on one and a leather on another.

[beaver#1]

i shoot off the shelf . i have just leather on one, bear hair on one, and heavy duty velcro(the soft part) on the other.

[Jack Denbow]

Velcro.

[ishiwannabe]

Velcro off the shelf....cheap,easily found, and lasts.

[Big Bird]

off the shelf.make mine out of leather.

[SteveB]

T300 with shorty plunger - on my mine hunting recurve.

[MnFn]

Velcro has worked well for me, and I really like sealskin also.

[Bowferd]

I shoot off the shelf with hair rests. Also use Traps feather rest on a couple.

[Iron]

off the shelf on one and feather rests ont most.

[John P]

Velcro or leather. However I have noticed that when the velcro starts to wear it affects arrow flight.So lately I trim down the "bushiness" first.

[Curveman]

Usually sealskin but I didn't have any handy for my most recent bow purchase so I just used calf hair and will keep that on until it needs to be replaced. I don't think it matters really.

[yamaharider]

Velcro, however I recently bought a BW that has seal skin, seems fine but will replace with velcro, seems to last

[Roy Steele]

Ever sence I started shooting selfbows 20 years ago.I shoot right off the wood.

[xtrema312]

Velcro on the rest, but I have used Velcro, seal sking, calf hair, and leather on the riser strike plate.

[DeerJohn]

Seal skin

Shot a T-300 1/2" above the shelf & vanes for quite awhile, primarily as vanes are way less expensive and far more durable than feathers.

I recently went back to a simple rug rest on the shelf, with either a leather or rug strike plate, and feathers.

Both shoot well, but off the shelf & feathers gives me better flight and seems more accurate.

Who knows, if I go broke buying feathers and get sick of re-fletching every time I take my bow out (pretty much every day when it's decent outside)I may go back...

I double check my harness, snug up the strap and just kinda "rest my eyes", the snoring is just to fool the critters into thinking I am actually asleep.

[trapperDave]

velcro off the shelf, bear weather rest,and neet pro rest are what I use

[BadKarma]

I hope I don't get banned for this, but I set my Martin Jag T/D with a whisker biscuit! Shooting pretty good so far, but the true test will be in a couple weeks in TX with CK.
