Looks great and works better
Easy to apply and looks great on my bow. Does its job well what else can I possibly say.
I would buy this again
Handsome looking embossed leather sideplate. Great traditional look on my recurve.
Really good rest
I usually prefer hair rests, but I tried this on an older bow without a radiused shelf. It worked perfectly. You first place the small strip of leather on the shelf with one end pointing towards the riser, then trim. Next, you place the rest on top of it, like you would normally place the rest/strike plate. Trim as necessary. It's quiet, has lasted, improved the accuracy of the… read more bow, and it's inexpensive.
Nice leather
Both the little leather strip and the big leather has adheasive on it, making it super easy to apply, I had not problems what-so-ever, I will buy again if in fact that I get another bow
Great product
guality leather that installs easily. it can be adjusted for fit. i put it on an old Bear longbow and it fit perfectly.
Good Looks and Good Quality
The quality of the leather is good and the adhesive is strong. The spacer is another strip of leather.
Great rest
I built up the shelf on my bow. I placed the rest over the side of the grip and up and over where I built the shelf up. The rest stuck great. Will order more of these.
Shelf shooting at its best
to shoot well you need arrow as close to hand as possible, this allows arrow to be right on the shelf just above hand and aligned with shooting and draw arm, allowing straight line in all angles and cant of bow. Small piece of leather under leather allows arrow to rest on less surface making less drag on arrow. I have been using this type of rest for over 20 years and love em. use… read more them on both recurves and longbows... with great results.
I personally believe it would be better as them separated. You can leave a gap for fletching clearance as well, but that is more "in my head" better for performance. The spacer is to create a smaller contact point from the rest to the arrow, so not a necessity, but it can help. I'd recommend at least on the shelf underneath.
The thickness of the leather plate measures approximately 0.072". The thickness of the spacer measures approximately 0.072" as well.
You can do it either way.
The main leather will be adhesive backed. The small strip will go underneath the main rest and plate as you press that onto the shelf. You will then crease the leather around the strip to create a radius effect on the shelf.
This will have enough material to be able to use it for both the shelf and strike plate.
I used this on my longbow and this strike plate was large enough to use on the shelf and then as the strike plate. I used the small strip under both and there is minimal arrow contact. It is pliable enough I did not even have to cut, started on the shelf and worked it up the riser. Very satisfied!
Yes, this is a good rest as it will last a long time before needing replaced.
The spacer goes underneath the rest, in the center of the shelf
