Flipper rest or off the shelf

Sam Sutcliffe · August 13, 2013, 01:12:00 PM

How many shoot with a flipper style rest or just shoot off the shelf? I shoot a recurve with a rest but was just curious if answer one shoots off the shelf?

I think there was a poll on this not too long ago...

For my 'curve it's an elevated rest!

I've used both...an elevated rest when I was shooting my GameMaster recurve and warfed black bear and off the shelf for everything else. Once you get used to it, either method works. I see no real difference.

definitely of the shelf for me

Easykeeper · August 13, 2013, 01:55:00 PM

All of my recurves are shot off the shelf.

Shoot all my bows off the shelf

Shelf for me

Off the shelf for me, but did get a bow once that I shot three under and it was tillered so high I had to jack the nock way up to get proper flight. Stuck a flipper rest on it and wala all level. Some bows need them.

Shelf

Shelf!

Shelf for me.

Elevated rest for nearly 35 years. Get a cleaner arrow flight. Some bows do not have enough radius in the shelf and create to much drag. I still keep the rest as low as possible to the shelf.

Shelf.

Both.
Just tried an elevated flipper rest on a couple of recurves and like what I'm seeing so far.

I never have been able to get really good arrow flight off the shelf. Someone here recommended the Bear weather rest. I tried one and haven't looked back. All my recurves have one.

My Bruin and Big River longbow off the shelf the rest I use a elevated rest....

I've shot Pro Hoyt style flipper rests since the 60's. Tried off the shelf a couple times didn't like it.

LONGSTYKES · August 13, 2013, 08:35:00 PM

Off the shelf on all my bows.

Flipper rest for me. I can't tune a bow with out one for some reason.

VictoryHunter · August 13, 2013, 08:44:00 PM

Off the shelf. My bow has a highly radiused shelf for minimal contact.
