Always wanted to try a feather rest.  Maybe at the Kalamazoo expo i will get my hands on the new 59 Kodiak.

I said I was going to give an elevated rest a shot and this is what I found out.

DID NOT MAKE ANY DIFFERENCE.  With that said, I did not notice any improvements/benifits with arrow flight versus shooting off the shelf. If you have a well tuned arrow and bow combination with either method and it works, then I believe it just comes down to personal preference to fuel the confidence.

Now, it may have made a difference if I was going to shoot vanes, but don't plan on that happening.

Fun experimenting anyway.

Did some playing this weekend with a Bear Weatherrest on my Silvertip - after getting it set on the riser, adjusted the nock, shot bare shaft, then with feathers.  Arrows flew great!  A few minor adjustments to make, but so far very impressed.
