Title: Your arrow rest / plunger combo ?
Post by: Jered Shofner on August 11, 2013, 09:25:00 AM

I am wanting to try an elevated arrow rest with my Dalaa recurve and shorty plunger. Several elevated rests I have seen look pretty flimsy.  

What combo works for you in the field?

Don't think that one is for use WITH a plunger.   :D

I wouldn't buy the shorty plunger.A good quality plunger for only  a few $ more is the Shibuya.Really it's not that much bigger than shorty.As far as rest goes do yourself a favor and buy a Trophy Ridge Hunter stick on.
in the first pic you can see the Shibuya on the riser and the shorty on my hand.One inch difference.

As you can see I have trimmed off the little plastic tab of the Trophy hunter rest

Hoyt Pro Hunter Rest is a soft, but stable. You can use a plunger with it, but I don't. Cheap as heck and works darn well. I like it the best out of all the stick on rests I have tried.

The metal plate comes off for use with a plunger, per 3rivers website information on the T300.   :thumbsup:

El greco, with the shibuya can you mount a riser quiver to the site holes like you can with the shorty?

This is a magnetic ARE rest that I put on my original Titan, been on there for 5 years or so and its been put thru the wringer. Cant imagine how many arrows have been shot over it, how much marsh muck its been covered in and still in perfect workin order...only problem, they stopped making them....NEVER fails does it!!! However I have a newer Titan and I put a X-spot Naka rest on it that seems every bit as tough and believe it or not, its actually cheaper!!

I have a shorty plunger on my hunting bow now but agree with el greco the longer ones dont really get in the way much and feel you can fine tune a bit more with the longer barrel ones. The short ones are nice and compact and certainly get the job done so its all in what floats your boat    :thumbsup:
