Weather rest, Hoyt pro rest, flipper rests, feather rest, raised bump under Velcro.
It's all personal preference and it's all about improved arrow/feather clearance whether you can see the arrow or not.
Sure doesn't cost much to try something different.
Maybe an elevated rest isn't "traditional" enough or even too "gadgety" for some, but hitting the spot you're shooting at (especially on a live animal) is what is important. We owe it to the animals we hunt to be as good as we can be. If an elevated rest helps, by all means shoot off of one.
I used Bear weather rests exclusively in my wheelie days and if I had stuck with what worked for me back in 1989 when I switched to recurves the transition would have been more pleasant.
