traditional rests and traditonal questions
I'm going to build a take down recurve with a 55 pound draw. i was wondering about what rest to put on it. I thought people shot off the shelf, but they offer a flipper rest that you glue on. I would rather buy the bear hair shelf rest because it would look cool. would the bow be harder to tune, or inaccurate off the shelf.I know one would have to shoot feathers, but thats no problem. what's everybody else shootin.

On my longbow, I shoot right off the rest. I do have an elevated rest on my Bear Recurve though. It is made out of still bristles. I plan on shooting my Chek Mate recurve off the shelf when it gets here though.

RE: traditional rests and traditonal questions
If all I were doing with a recurve was shooting targets, then I'd have an elevated rest on it. For hunting and knocking about in the woods, I want the simplicity and dependability of shooting off the shelf. Since I do much more of the latter than I do of the former, all my bows but one are shot off the shelf and when I use them to shoot targets,I just accept the fact I'm giving away a few points on the score card.
Besides, I've got a box full of tournament trophies packed away andhiding out in the attic already and really don't need any more.
You're making the bow. Make it the way YOU want it. That's the beauty of making your own bow.
