Your favorite rest material

[threeunder]

I'm getting ready to replace the rests on two of my bows.

Wondering what everyone prefers and why.

Both of these bows have very thin rests with hair on them (I don't believe they are seal skin, but are similar).  My preference is for the thicker rests like velcro.  But would like to hear what others prefer before I slap velcro on'em.

I like the velcro rests when I shoot off the shelf.

velcro for this boy (for the rest), I often choose a thinner material for the side plate).

I prefer sealskin but velcro works just as well and is readily available.

I like velcro for the rest and use seal for the side plate.otter works good too.

[cahaba]

Sealskin is pretty slick. I use it on my rest and nothing on my side plate.

[refugerambler]

I like moleskin

Velcro  Doesn't hold dirt from stump shooting and then make a noise drawing.

I really like the old "bear hair" style rug rests, but they soak up water really badly. For that reason, if there's any chance the bow is going in the woods, it gets Velcro.

Industrial Velcro....quiet, durable, available, consistent, easy to replace and cheap.

I like velcro off the shelf but if a bow can take a feather rest that's what I prefer. I just tend to shoot better from an elevated rest.

I like smooth leather, but velcro will work as well.

[akbowbender]

Velcro most of the time, except on my NM Classic, where I use calf hair due to the minimal shelf.
