Hope to be getting a recurve soon and starting to rehab/build up my shoulder and was curious as to what's your favorite arrow rest/side plate material.

Fuzzy velcro is good. Sealskin if hard to beat.

I like velcro too, it's fairly tough and its cheap to replace. You can get it in the craft section at Wal-Mart.

Velcro on my t/d's, leather on my one pieces. That is how I get them from my bowyer, and I keep them "stock".

I have used seal skin in the past, works well, but velcro is cheap and easy to come by.

Seal skin the best. Only problem very hard to find.

I like sealskin best,but due to availability have been using beavertail and am pleased with it.

Velcro is my favourite too.

And to quote Robtattoo:
Veni Vidi Velcro - I came saw and stuck around :D

Seal skin for the rest, calf hair for the side plate. When I run out of seal skin I am not sure what I will go to. I have had several used bows that came with velcro. Works well and holds up, but seems hard on the feathers.

I find velcro wears out way too fast on my rest, so I use calfhair on my rest and leather for a side plate.

I have been using moose leather. Its thick and very soft and a little "spongy". I cut a piece to fit and attach it with the suede side out. It's very quiet and durable. I bought a small scrap at a leather store.

Leather. I prefer the slick side out.

Right now I'm using calf hair for the strike plate and velcro for the rest. Works well.

I think I'll be sticking with a weather rest from now on.

Soft side velcro disguising a Hoyt SuperRest painted black.
