  • Q:

    Will this work on a bow with a radiused shelf?

      A:

      Geo,  Years ago I purchased a Jack Howard Jet Recurve that came with a feather rest on it. After 30 years of shooting this kind of rest in conjunction with a leather or calf hair side plate, I would recommend it to anybody. The bow I shoot has a slight radiused shelf, but I have seen this rest used successfully on a more advanced radiused shelf. Of course you will have to adjust your nocking point accordingly.                 Ron.

      I use mine on an old flat shelf Shakespere. I pretty sure it will work fine on a radiused bow. It provides a smooth friction free launch. Remember to position it so the smooth flow of the feathers is away from the shooter.

      Yes it Will, absolutely without question I use it on my Bob Lee Bows and they are Radius shelfs I love them you get a real clean arrow launch with out drag, Jack Howard used them and I first used them in 1969 when my dad Gave me his 1959 / 60 Bear Grizzly and there was a turkey feather Rest on it. Hope this helps

      A:

      It doesn't really work very well with a radiused shelf. Unless it is
      barely radius'd at all. I have tried it and the base plate is too stiff.
      If your shelf is radiused you don't need one anyways, try a bear hair or
      just some velcro material.

      A:

      it mounts on the shelf with the small end of the feathers pointing
      towards the target. Alwayts use feather fletching when shooting off the
      shelf. I hope that helps.

      A:

      You want it running in the direction of arrow. Be sure you have it set so the arrow glides over the top of the three feathers in the direction of least resistance. Run your finger over it before you mount it making sure you know which way that is. Your finger should not catch on the feathers, rather the feathers will gently lay down and you glide over it. Your arrow must do the same. These are great for older bows that don't have a radiused shelf. My old Shakesreare uses them with great results. My back plate is also a shaved feather material that has the grain running with the arrow flight.

      I've mounted mine on the shelf, resting vertically, and it is fantastic.
      I'm pretty sure that's what it's meant for. I imagine if you mounted it on
      the riser, resting horizontally, the arrow would slip off.

      Greg,
      It mounts on the rest with the feathers vertical. Mine works great ands
      looks very classy.
      Cheers,
      Bobby

      I use these a lot and they work great! Mount them on the shelf, with the
      arrows pointing so that they will be "blown down" when you shoot.
      Use a strike plate on the riser. Mounting them horizontally would require
      a shelf cut way past center.

      A:

      This is meant to be a rest not a strike plate. You will want to put it vertical on the shelf.
