I seem more acurate with a bow rest, anyone else? mark

What is a bow rest?

Bayoulongbowman,  I am thinking you meant to say " elevated arrow rest".   If that's the case, then my answer is yes.  I have used them on my recurves and they did seem to allow me to be more accurate (read: consistent).   They help with masking flaws in release and marginal arrow tuning.   That been said,  I shoot longbows off the shelf and with a clean release and proper arrow tuning, the difference in accuracy in my hands is negligible.   ~Steve.

Yes sir!

Yes, I use a Bear rubber flipper on my hunting bows.

Yep,  I use a plunger and a rest.

I bought a use Bear Grizzly with a stick on Bear rest. Perfect arrow flight. Just can't bring myself to try one on my longbow!!

I've seen 'em on other folks bows, and they seem to do well.

Just one more thing to go wrong for me.  I like mine as simple as I can get 'em.

Elevated rest on my recurve.

yup, I take a piece of 5/16 arrow shaft, split it in half and lay it on the shelf and put a Bear rug over it.  Gives it just a little raised shelf to shoot off from.

I've messed around with Bear Weather Rests and old style Flipper II rests. I didn't notice much difference so I went back to the shelf on these bows. I do have one metal-riser bow that I use with a  springy rest attached to a cushion-type plunger. It is a nice feature for tuning.

One advantage to shooting from an elevated rest is to better be able to use plastic vanes for hunting in poor weather.

I may try elevated rests again some time though.

Here's the springy on a metal riser. My hunting rig in 2010. You can also see a Mathews Archery T5 Arrow Web bow quiver mount on this bow. The bow is "The Stick" by Tim Strickland.

I use the Bear feather rests on my old bears. Best arrow flight you can imagine.

Flipper with a plunger on my Hoyt GM for the reason of use of plastic vains when we hunt the rainforest over on the penninsula.

Elevated rest and plunger. Jeff....never had a problem with them "failing" or making things more complicated. I find them to be very beneficial when it comes to shooting consistently. An added benefit for me is that when I shot off the shelf there were some broadheads that  I just couldn't get to shoot consistently. Going back to a rest and plunger I can shoot anything I want that is close to 200 grains. By "going back" I simply mean that in the 60's and until I gave up compounds, which I shot for only a couple of years, I had a plunger and rest on all my old recurves. For me it's the good old days.

I don't like the way they look, but I have one on my Hoyt and  shot great tonight during league.  I'll use it for hunting.

I shoot a bear rest on my Talltines,Morrison,Bear TD and my new Raven.
Love how my shooting improved.

Good luck,
Randy
