Post by: Holepuncher on August 20, 2008, 03:49:00 PM

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.

I suppose it's a silly question, but with the velcro do you use the hooks or the loops? (hard vs 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.
