Title: What do I need on my bow shelf?
Post by: VA Elite on December 31, 2014, 11:49:00 PM
What do I need to put on my shelf. Not using the rest that came on the bow. Mole skin?

Soft side of Velcro works great

I use calf hair, but velcro (fuzzy) is used by many.

Good luck and God bless,
Rodd

Velcro, you can easily peel it off and put on a new one. Plus you can buy a roll and it will last a long time and its cheap.

Velcro works great, but I prefer Bear Hair.

I like the velcro for cost and convenience, but my favorite is seal skin.

And it's tough to beat a feather rest as well.

I like loop side of velcro on the shelf and varying thicknesses of leather on the side plate depending upon tuning needs.

So just regular mole skin is not a good idea?

Velcro or sealskin for me

Felt furniture pads work well also. You can buy them in different thickness's to get good arrow flight. Good Shooting,

Seal skin is the best in my opinion, but hard to get a hold of!

I use Mole skin over the leather rest that came on the bow. I was busted one time when I drew by bow the sound of the arrow going across the leather is very load when a Bear is 10 yards from ya on a very still afternoon.

I too use the felt furniture pads. I have a 48 pack that cost me under $2

I think Mole skin would be a little thin. I also use Velcro or bear/calf hide when available.

soft side of velcro X what ever the count, I have tried many different things, Velcro seems to be the longest lasting, quietest, most forgiving I have used.

Mole skin is more expensive than velcro.
