BearHair or SealSkin

RE: BearHair or SealSkin
Personally, I use leather on my longbows. I also have used pretty much everything and find the seal skin a bit expensive.
Dnk, here is a pretty good representation of what is happening:

Bob, does that mean that the feathers do a pretty good job of folding away? Does that mean that a arrow with more grains per inch will fly better because of the minor disturbance to the feathers? If so what weight per inch is a good starting point? Or an I just being a duffus and who cares about feather contact?
Looking at the right set of drawings it looks like the shaft makes good contact with the bow (I'm guessing from the string rolling off the fingers), is that correct? This stuff is pretty interesting!

Anyone ever try "moleskin"?? (The stuff you'd cut a patch from to cover a foot blister)
It was always pretty tough stuff and stayed on my foot until worn away when I used it. I also put it around the shelf of my compound bow to quiet the "tap..tap" when knocking an arrow a few years ago and it'sstill stuck to my bow...
