I'm considering buying a tanned beavertail to be used for grip and rest material on one of my longbows. Any suggestions or comments will be appreciated. :help: :help: :help:
Never tried it as rest material, but in my mind the best grip material. No sticky feeling as with the shur grip, it just feels right.
I love it as a grip material,feels good & wears great.For a rest I prefer the furry stuff.

I've been using it as a strike plate for ~ 6 months now. Doesn't show any wear yet.
You can get them from Abe at Cari-Bow.

For the grip you will need to find a large tail. Should be a min of 4 1/2" wide. Any thing smaller it will be difficult to stitch up. I buy my tails unseen by the dozen (split), out of the 24 splits. I get only a couple that will work for a grip. They do make a great long lasting rest.
Paul who do you buy your beaver tails from?

Just ordered a beaver tail from Abe at Cari-bou Archery. Appreciate your comments. Will post pictures when I get the project completed. Right now, I'm going hunting. Got to help my bud get his deer. :archer:
