what in your opinion is the best to use; Seal skin, leather, velcro. I have seal skinn just looking for other input and opinions.
Thanks in advance.
I've used them all. Seal skin is hard to beat, but velcro and leather are much cheaper.
I like the seal skin. It wears very well and I can get 5 rests trimmed from the 2 1/2 x 2 1/2 patch. Leather on the side plate.
I only have seal skin on the rests of my bows. It is just something I like. Can't say it is any better than anything else.

I use velcro mostly. Main reasons are because it is functional, cheap, and available at many places.
What Jason_MO said :) ...Van
velcro here too, not just cheap, totally functional
I suppose it's a silly question, but with the velcro do you use the hooks or the loops? (hard vs fuzzy)
'fuzzy'
Sealskin with a slit cut in it and placed over a Hoyt Super Rest, disguising it. Seriously. If you get some of the lighter-colored sealskin, the rest is almost entirely disguised. And you'll be amazed at the arrow flight. ;)
6" of wax buffed to a hard shine. Bow canters to nicely.
Thanks everyone for the tip on the velcro!!
I tried it tonight, it works great! And saved me the 5 bucks from the shop for a "bear hair" rest.
