Arrow rest question

<< < (2/4) > >>

tradrick:
I asked this question not long ago and the good folks on here recommended the floppy arra rest on the Ferrits website.Very simple to make and I really like it.Low profile,keeps the arrow close to the hand.Shooting off it is just like pointing your finger.A very good recommendation.tradrick

jamie:
i dont use shelves on most of my bows unless its to be given to some one who wants it. i also find that if you shoot natural shafts  like shoots or split shafts with a heavy taper they shoot much better with the wide grip. because of the taper they have more forward weight.  if someone tells ya they are tearin their hand up with out a shalf their bow isnt tuned properly or the fletching has been done poorly. i shoot off the hand a lot with arras that have no wrapping on the feathers and dont get cut up. peace

a finnish native:
shoot of your hand. No primitive bows have been found that would have had an arrow rest. first it may hurt, but your hand will get harder with time. I have a few scars from fletches, but so what? what doesn't kill you makes you stronger.

jamie:
dude im living proof that what doesnt kill ya makes ya stronger but telling somebody to take the pain of fletchings tearing up their hand aint the brightest thing ive heard. again if the fletchings are cutting you tune your bow better or do a better job fletching. peace

mullet:
   The only reason I shoot off a shelf now is because of the scar tissue on my hand.It came from an arrow coming apart and about 4" of wood and fletching going in like a bomb.When I do shoot off my hand I wear a military leather glove on that hand.
