I`m sure this one`s been beat to death. Other than Seal skin ( since we can`t get it anymore ) what`s the best shelf material out there ?

         Burch   :confused:

If you like a soft rest, which is what seal skin is, you might try a Martin rug rest.

Velcro, the soft side works really well, Bears rug, works great, easily gotten from several sponsors here.  There is a thick felt one that came on my recurve that is really good, wish I could remember the exact name of it.  Maybe someone with a bit better memory will pick this up and chime in?
Thanks,

I guess if we run into the bear that is making these tracks, we oughta just get off the trail.......He seems to like it!

Velcro for me. It's durable and silent when drawing an arrow.

Industrial velcro, the regular wears pretty quick. Wally-World has it in grey and black! Shawn

I found a lamb's wool girth cover at a flea market for $5. I cut it into shelf size rugs then trim the wool to about 1/8" tall with hair trimmers. I have a lifetime supply of material now for shelving rugs.

I used the #0 attachment for trimming down the wool.

I have one of those little round felt furniture foot pads, cut to shape, on my Browning. It seems to work pretty well.

Another vote for Velcro.

I like the soft side stick on velcro--- a tip--- I like to use a disposable razor and shave it down first. it helps keep your fletching from catching.

I like calfskin, but Velcro is hard to beat.

I`ve always used Velcro myself but ya gotta admit, it does seem to drag a bit. I`ve never tried Seal Skin but think about it - definatley water proof, seems like it would be pretty slick & smooth. I wonder if Otter Skin would be a good idea ?
