Brad... I have made quite a few horse bows over the years both ways. I found out real quick, and so did they that an arrow rest, and string  nock point was mush easier for the grand sons to shoot. 2 good reference points for the arrow that are easily managed even by youngsters. So their is that too, but it is still just a personal choice.

bradsmith2010:
good point,, didnt think of the youngsters,,

Pappy:
I don't think it changes the performance of a bow much if any but i like a shelf, nothing fancy , just something to hold my arrow when hunting, I always hang my bow and you can't do that with an off the hand bow, If I try and hold my bow for any length of time my old hands go to sleep so I hang it. Wasn't there so not sure how the natives done it and really don't care it works for me, It's hard to draw a line on what some think is primitive so I don't try, I just do what works for me and let everyone else do the same,no disrespect just do what works for you. I shoot selfbows That's it.  ;) :) :)
