what in your opinion is the best  to use; Seal skin, leather, velcro. I have seal skinn just looking for other input and opinions.
Thanks in advance.
Good stuff ain't cheap, and cheap stuff ain't good!

I've used them all.  Seal skin is hard to beat, but velcro and leather are much cheaper.

Nor'easter

I like the seal skin.  It wears very well and I can get 5 rests trimmed from the 2 1/2 x 2 1/2 patch.  Leather on the side plate.

I only have seal skin on the rests of my bows.  It is just something I like.  Can't say it is any better than anything else.

I use velcro mostly. Main reasons are because it is functional, cheap, and available at many places.

velcro here too, not just cheap, totally functional
Silence over speed.  Heavier arrows never hurt.

I suppose it's a silly question, but with the velcro do you use the hooks or the loops? (hard vs fuzzy)

Sealskin with a slit cut in it and placed over a Hoyt Super Rest, disguising it. Seriously.  If you get some of the lighter-colored sealskin, the rest is almost entirely disguised.  And you'll be amazed at the arrow flight.  ;)

Thanks everyone for the tip on the velcro!!

I tried it tonight, it works great!  And saved me the 5 bucks from the shop for a "bear hair" rest.
