Arrowrest Problem - PLEASE HELP
 
First of all, I'm brand new to this bowhunting thing so please be gentle. I've hunted with a rifle for over 25 years but am going to try the bow this year.
I have an arrowrest question...I've started out with equipment that I'm sure is not the best quality. I've done this so that I'm not out gobs of money if I don't like bow hunting. My arrowrest is a two prong system (no fall-away) with a rubber coating of some sort over the prongs. I've only shot about 60 arrows in practicing so far but already the coating is rubbing away from my arrowrest prongs and I can hear metal on metal (metal prong on arrow shaft) when I draw the arrow back. I know I could simply replace the coating material but I'll be in the same boat in another 60 arrows. Does anyone have any advice on this or should I just keep replacing the coating as it wears away? Any help would be appreciated.

ALWAYS CALL YOUR SHOT.

Depending on the rest you can get some teflon to replace the shrink tube on the rest.
I have a Bodoodle rest the prongs are not round but sort of flat so I just use some Dr Scholls Moleskin Plus padding on the prongs.

Some other guys might have some more ideas but it would be a bit more help to know what sort of rest it is.

Our New Teflon Hush Tubes outlast the Rubber coated/Shrink tubes by
more than 10x...This is the answer to the TM Hunter prong Rest noise..
