Bear Weatherest Elevated Rest Review

As long as there is enough area to stick the rest on you should have no problem using this rest.

I don't believe there is a recommended nock set for 4 fletch. However, with feathers you shouldn't notice any problems.

This will fray the feathers over time. It will not fry the feathers after only a few shots.

No it will not, one of the best for the money. Pierre

Changing to the weather rest will not affect the performance of the arrows.

It will hold you arrow further from your riser than your current side plate. It will also cause your arrow to sit higher from your shelf. You should be able to use the same spine arrow but you will have to retune your bow to accommodate this rest.

That extra piece is for if you remove it from a bow and want to place it on another bow you can peal the old off and use the extra one.

It can be used to build out the rest from the riser to adjust for centre shot or improper arrow spine. 

You can cover the plunger hole the rest is not designed for use with a plunger.

I have found it best to mount the weather rest flush with the riser shelf and line up the arm (arrow contact point on rest) with the deepest part of your grip. This should reduce negative affect of bow torque. 

Yes, you can use vanes with this type of rest.

.0625

From my calculation, it's .1875, about 3/16 of an inch.

Yes

Yes I shoot vanes with mine all the time. Kyle

For this bow and if you use a plunger button a T-300 rest it will enable you get a better arrow flight than using a Bear weather rest. The weather rest is fairly stiff and will not work well with vaned arrows.

I have used these stick-on plastic rests to revitalize many older bows that had simple shelves or no shelves at all.. While not perfect rests they are a huge improvement for vintage bows. These rests care little if you shoot fingers or release. They care nothing about whether you shoot sights or instinctive. They are, however, sensitive to arrow spine weight, so shoot the correct arrow for your bow draw weight and you'll be fine. The other issue with these plastic rests is that they can cause wear on your plastic veins or feathers. There are 2 ways to minimize this: 1) Don't use super tall, long or wide veins and... 2) with a small scissor, shorten the flipper so that it is not longer than what you need and recontour the flipper so it has no more upcurve than you need. These things will be apparent when you draw a few arrows over the rest and mock a few slow motion, hand held arrow releases over the rest to watch how the veins contact the flipper.

I suspect that an archery store could have installed a number of options, but my bow - same as yours - had a rest just like the one shown here when I received the bow decades ago. Happy shooting.
