Default RE: rest for recurve?

ORIGINAL: Arthur P

In the late 60's, most folks who gave a flip about accuracy were shooting with elevated rests, mostly those old stick-on rubber rests. A whole bunch of guys were even using pin sights on their recurves. Some even used non-mechanical releases, like the ledge or bowlock release. Most of what folks consider 'traditional' now is an idealistic myth. It's fun, but not historically correct.
we used to use chewing gum and a barn match for our earliest sights... all those led to the formation of the compound, up to the high tech gadgets we have available today. Historically accurate is a cheap used bow,a few wooden arrows that you couldn't afford to break or lose... Bear broadheads...quiver was optional, dependant upon finances... THAT's the history I remember.. oh yeah.. don't for get the 3-fingered glove(NOT Damasus)...but we had fun......missed a lOT of deer.....
