A few guys at my archery cllub recommended I put a stick-on flipper on my recurve so I tried it. I shoot instinctively and read that having the arrow closer to the hand helps when shooting this way. It also just didn't seem right to have that piece of metal hanging on my old Wing. Anyway, I put some bear hair on the shelf and built up a spot in-line with the center lline of the grip. My question is whether I need anything else on the inside of the riser. I have a small stick on piece of leather but didnt know if another material would help with accuracy or feather durability, etc. What else are some of you using to shoot off the shelf effectively, and isn't that the way it is supposed to be done traditionally?
