Title: Hoyt Dorado - shelf or rest?
Post by: DoubleLung on March 27, 2009, 11:14:00 PM
If you shoot a Dorado or a Gamemaster for that matter do you prefer shooting from the shelf or an elevated rest of some sort? If you shoot from a rest please list what you use.

Thanks,
Tim

I nolonger have one, but a DAS shorty plunger with a T-300 rest was good for breaking nocks more often than the shelf was for me.

i use velcro for the rug and for the strike plate i use the lil stick on furniture pads...the thick ones you stick under the legs of furniture. they come in different thicknesses and they last forever!! i use this setup on both of my gm2's

My son's buddy bought a Dorado a couple of weeks ago. The rest that comes with the bow was questionable at best. After shooting for awhile and not being to consistent my son suggested an elavated rest like the old Hoyt stick-on. After moving the nock point to accomadate the rest he started to shoot rather well.

I love the t-300, with plunger on my GMII.

Either will work fine, but I like the simple stick-on rest for consistency.  I've used them for forty-couple years and they work great and don't affect the instinctive-style shooting.
