Just recently switched to a velcro rest and am very impressed with it. Seems to be real quiet and durable. I think it will outlast the calf hair I had on their previously.

Good stuff,I have it on most of my bows and really like it.It does last real well.
Quote from Howard Hill.( Whenever he taught someone to shoot) "Son make up your mind right now if you want to target shoot or hunt as theres a world of differance between the two"

i bet it will last a real long time.
i cut a piece of mink hide a to real short hair length and that is the most quiet stuff i have ever used.  don't know how durable it will be.

The industrial grade has been my #1 choice. Some the lesser grades will not stay adhered to the bow.

That is what came on my Blacktail. Bow is a year old now. Shelf and plate are velcro. Had my doughts at first. But it has worked out well.

I just replaced my first velcro with a second piece. I like the little buttons from the sewing supply stores, 6 for 79cents or so. I get about two years out of em and I like to shoot.....

I have worn out velcro and had it rip fletches off.  I prefer leather, rough side up.  Leather is also easier to set up your nock, it doesn't compress like velcro.  Bill
