RE: arrow rest opinions
For the first several years, I shot off of an elevated rest. I shot OK. When I switched to shooting off the shelf, my shooting improved greatly. For me, the closer the arrow is tomy bow hand the easier it is to visualize where the arrow will go.

RE: arrow rest opinions
My shooting improved dramatically after switching to a raised rest.
It was also about the same timeI became serious about learning to shoot and began shooting with a purpose.

RE: arrow rest opinions
Hi! Ok here goes. I shoot off the shelf for hunting, quicker and more secure,of course must use feathers. When I shot in the oldNFFA shoots, instinctive, I used flipper and other elevated rests. Could use either vanes or feathers, and I shot higher scores with elevated rests, more accurate. Also could use vanes in the rain with a non shelf rest. Must say though ,that I prefer to shoot stick bows off the shelf and I like to cant my bow. Sorry to ramble on , but Im glad I found you guys. Tox

RE: arrow rest opinions
Shooting off an elevated rest will be more forgiving for different arrows. but if you have the properly spined arrow for your bow and your draw, it won't make lick of difference. There are not too many trad bows out there that you can put an elevated rest on.
