Which Arrow Rest Set Up
« on: August 27, 2012, 09:04:00 PM »
Hey guys, I have a bow that I have put together that has 55# Groves dynastresed limbs with a old Proline riser that my father had. Everything is a perfect fit, but the riser is cut about 5/16 past center and the shelf is narrow and flat. My plan is to put one of the below rest's on it. So, which one would you guys think would make a better hunting set up?                     Thanks and God Bless, Steve

I would go with the second one if you are keen on using a rest. I personally would try creating a raised area on the shelf by building it up with leather and a toothpick. Also I would build out the sideplate some with leather.

Thanks James for the reply, but I'm probally going with one of the two rest to simplify tuning issues.

Well for me I like the Centerest Flipper as a hunting rest.  The others are great rests too but I like the simplicity, durability and how the flipper holds the arrow.  I've found it adjusts as much as I need it to on any of my bows.  It's almost impossible to damage but if you do it couldn't be simpler to replace then to stick a new flipper assembly onto the post.
I find the older I get, the less I used to know!

Center rest flipper.
