I had never used a feather rest before Traps. I always had recurves around growing up. But went to the dark side, til old age kicked in. And I realized how much more fun a trad bow is. So my usage of older things is only really about 6 years old.

Trap and I did a swap, and lucky me got a couple of his feather rest's in trade.

Man am I impressed with them, it really took me by surprise how well they hold up. And are such a pleasure to shoot over   :readit:

JMHO

Cool stuff there Rick, Thanks for sharing.  

Those feather rests are like the ones Marion sent to me.  They are actually quite a bit different than the 50s and 60s rests.

Multi Colored, No Barred feathers, 5 fletch vs. 4 fletch.  Neat Stuff.

Thanks for the kudos Brent.  They're not for everyone but I like them.
