Bear hair, leather, Velcro turkey feather. What rest do you use on your bow and why?
I'm looking for the best.
Ready set go.

I normally use Velcro its easy on easy off. Plus you can get alot of rests and side plate out of a roll.

Velcro simple and durable

Velcro industrial strength for off the shelf, springy for ILF with a fixed crawl, plunger and t-300 or off shelf for ILF three under.

Velcro is simple, effective, inexpensive and easy to carry and replace.

The fuzzy side of velcro goes on the shelf of all my bows!

I like hair rests. My Hill bows have leather. But the fuzzy part of velcro is great! It lasts forever and a few bucks at wal mart or hobby shop will get you a bunch of it.

Velcro once the original leather wears out.

You did not say what kind of bow you are putting it on. For recurves I like either a feather rest or a Hoyt hunter rest. For a longbow a simple leather rest works great but I am going to try a feather rest on my next longbow. The best,is a matter of opinion so try them all and have fun and form your own opinion.

Leather. The riser I put a paper match under for clearance. Held down with Barge Cement.

Velcro on a shelf rest, but if you want the very best arrow flight go to a raised rest. I prefer a bear weather rest for that.

Bear hair or the black equivalent sold under Martin.

I don't like velcro at all.
If you have any little "snaggy" at the front of your fletch it gets caught n the loops.

leather, because that's how the bow came to me when I bought it. velcro on my samick sage, works good

Shooting a R/D Longbow -- I use a piece of smooth leather from an old wallet with a split bamboo skewer underneath as a bump. I used to use the fuzzy side of velcro, but it wears out faster than leather and also would get quills from my arrow or other debris stuck in it. I noticed with velcro and rug rests, as they would wear down, your relative knock point would go up. Doesn't happen with leather.
