What do I need on my bow shelf?

[VA Elite]

What do I need to put on my shelf. Not using the rest that came on the bow. Mole skin?

Soft side of Velcro works great

Bear hair rest is my favorite

[goingoldskool]

I use calf hair, but velcro (fuzzy) is used by many.

Good luck and God bless,
Rodd

Velcro, you can easily peel it off and put on a new one. Plus you can buy a roll and it will last a long time and its cheap.

Velcro works great, but I prefer Bear Hair.

A Bear Weather rest.

I like the velcro for cost and convenience, but my favorite is seal skin.

And it's tough to beat a feather rest as well.

I like velcro for shelf and calfhair for strike plate

Velcro on every one of my bows!

I like loop side of velcro on the shelf and varying thicknesses of leather on the side plate depending upon tuning needs.

So just regular mole skin is not a good idea?

Velcro or sealskin for me

[monkeyball]

Felt furniture pads work well also. You can buy them in different thickness's to get good arrow flight. Good Shooting,

Seal skin is the best in my opinion, but hard to get a hold of!

[Gooserbat]

I like velcro

I use Mole skin over the leather rest that came on the bow. I was busted one time when I drew by bow the sound of the arrow going across the leather is very load when a Bear is 10 yards from ya on a very still afternoon.

X2 on the feather rest.
