Arrow Rest On Selfbows?

<< < (2/4) > >>

gpw:
 we also shoot longbows off of our knuckle ...leather handle wrap extends above grip for soft strike plate ...better make sure the leading edges of your fletching is wrapped down smoothly , or you'll have scars ... like me ....

1/2primitive:
I mostly shoot off my hand, but when I make a bow for other people, I glue a couple of pieces of leather on the side and shape that down for a shelf as everyone else said.  :)

Bikewer:
I've been using the Ferret "floppy" rest since I started (3 bows now...) and it's quick and simple to make and works well.

nugget:
I am with Dana on this one.I like to carve a shelf out of bone antler or wood. Or any natural material would work. Then just glue the rest where you want it.

sonny:
A buddy of mine uses a single, thick piece of leather as an arrow rest, which works fine so long as you cant the bow slightly....
only stated so folks know how simple an arrow rest can be.
