Q: So this is better for feathered arrows rather than vaned? Asked on 3/2/2013 by Tostado from Los Angeles, CA Know the answer? Answer this question 2 answers A: Yes, vanes will cause the rest to wear out much faster. Anytime you plan to shoot off of the shelf it is better to use a feathered arrow. Answered on 3/4/2013 by Justin from 3Rivers Archery A: Yup! Answered on 3/2/2013 by Heather from Charlotte, NC
Q: Ok I just bought a recurve bow dont know much about them it was set up by bass pro if I put this arrow rest on do I need to adjust my nock point if so how do you take the nock off the string to realine the nock or just take it off to put finger savers on if i chose to do so Asked on 6/18/2012 by dondonganello Know the answer? Answer this question 1 answer A: Yes you will want to adjust the string knock just a little bit. You will want to buy a pair of knock pliers to move the knock. You can use finger savers as an alternative. Answered on 6/18/2012 by Clint from 3Rivers Archery
Q: How thick is the plastic strike plate that comes with the rest? Asked on 2/6/2012 by Jake from Gore Bay, Ontario Know the answer? Answer this question 5 answers A: The Bear Hair Rest and Plate comes with a leather side plate that is approx 1/10" thick. Answered on 2/9/2012 by Justin from 3Rivers Archery A: Not all that thick, maybe 1/16" but looks like it would hold up well. Answered on 2/16/2012 by Traveler from Florida A: I don't have a mm measuring stick handy, but I'd say about 1-2 mm at the most. It's thick enough that you should feel good about its protection but thin enough to stay out of the way. Answered on 4/24/2012 by Truman from Atlanta, GA A: I'd say its about 1 1/2 mm to 2 mm thick. The plate that came with the rest I ordered was actually a synthetic leather pad. Answered on 4/27/2012 by Thomas from Wasatch county, Utah A: The arrow plate measures 2 millimeters thick, give or take a tenth. Answered on 5/14/2012 by pHEAD from midlothian VA
Q: I just bought this and I have wooden Darton recurve. Can you elaborate on the use of a toothpick? Is that to raise a part of the shelf so the arrow is not totally flat on the shelf? Also where is the best part to position the leather strike plate? Should it be at the center or toward the back near the anchor point? Thanks. Asked on 2/1/2012 by Anonymous Know the answer? Answer this question 1 answer A: Yes if you have a rest or site window that is completely flat the use of a toothpick or thin piece of leather can be used to raise up the arrow to it would have less contact surface with the rest. The strike plate should be placed over the crown of the site window or the center if there is no crown. Answered on 2/2/2012 by Dean from 3Rivers Archery
Q: I just tried out my Montana Bear Longbow and the arrow rest and plate chewed up the feathers on one of my arrows... I finally ripped them off and purchased this rest and plate, but am not sure if I should actually used the leather plate or use the bear hair rest for the rest and plate...comments? Suggestions? Asked on 12/29/2011 by PhotoChick from New Albany, IN Know the answer? Answer this question 2 answers A: First thing that I would ask is if your using feathers or vanes, if your using vanes switch to feathers. Next, if your using feathers and it's chewing the leading edge of them, then more than likely your nock point is to low and needs to be moved up. Most nock points are set up 3/8-1/2 above the shelf with the back of the arrow running down hill, never level. If that does not fix it then I would have to think that it is the arrows, they could be to stiff or under spined. The rest you have should work, but a better choice would be the Calf Hair Rest and Plate. This rest is more of a longbow rest with the rest you have is more of a recurve style rest, but both should work if the bow is set up properly. Below is a link that will take you the rest. http://www.3riversarchery.com/Bow+Accessories+Arrow+Rests+%26+Plates++Calf+Hair+Plate_c46_s203_p0_i4256X_product.htmlAnswered on 12/29/2011 by Shawn from 3Rivers Archery A: The bear hair rest in combination with the little leather piece on the side work very well for me and very little wear to the feathers on my arrows. Good luck friend. Answered on 1/12/2012 by Tom from WI
Q: Can this style of rest be used with plastic vanes? Asked on 10/24/2011 by Anonymous Know the answer? Answer this question 5 answers A: It is never recommended to use plastic vanes when shooting off the shelf (which is what this rest is designed for). A plastic vane will not collapse like a feather will when it contacts the rest area. This will bounce the rear of the arrow and produce very erratic flight. Answered on 11/6/2011 by ElkhunterAric from Craig, CO A: Yes, I have used both feathers and vanes without a problem. Answered on 11/9/2011 by The fun time archer from Livonia, Michigan A: I don't think the plastic vanes would hurt the material at all, but I would question using plastic vanes directly off a bow shelf without a arrow rest installed. Answered on 12/24/2011 by Bowbarian from Glendale, AZ A: No ,you can not. Answered on 8/19/2012 by stickslinger from Macon Ga

Q: I have a Samick Sage No tools take down. I am using Stu's calculator and it asks for "Center Cut - Strike Plate Position (inches)." What is the strike plate position (it's currently set at -1/8)? I know that if I add the strike plate to my bow, I have to update the values. And the other option states: "For specific bow models, enter strike plate thickness" and is set at 0.060 inches. What values do I have to input if I put this strike plate on my bow? Asked on 7/20/2011 by Anonymous Know the answer? Answer this question 1 answer A: You should just need to add the thickness of the strike plate to your previous total. If you have any other questions, give us a call at 1-866-587-9501.

Q: A short video showing exactly how to install this item would be really helpful for those of us who have never seen one before. Do you have one available on the internet? Thanks! Asked on 6/6/2011 by Ms. Elf... from Charlotte, NC Know the answer? Answer this question 2 answers A: I agree, a video or instructions would be really helpful. Answered on 1/25/2013 by Brian from Bethesda A: We do not currently have one available. I will pass along the request to our IT department. Answered on 6/6/2011 by Justin from 3Rivers Archery
Q: I have an older bow with a flat arrow shelf. I know that a cruved shelf reduces friction. Can I put something under the rest to create the curve? Or is there a different rest that incorporates a curve? Asked on 4/27/2011 by Russell from Gudvangen Know the answer? Answer this question 2 answers A: All of the arrow rest are just going to adhere to the shape of the shelf. You will need to build it up. Toothpicks work well, as do pieces of leather. Use a little bit of Barge Cement to hold them in place and then put he new rest material right over the top. Answered on 4/27/2011 by Justin from 3Rivers Archery A: TAKE SOMETHING LIKE A WOOD MATCH STICK AND BREAK IT SO YOU HAVE A PIECE THE WIDTH OF YOUR SHELF.LAY IT ACROSS THE SHELF AND PUT THE STICKY PART OF THE HAIR REST DOWN AND IT WILL HOLD THE SMALL PIECE OF WOOD IN PLACE AND YOU HAVE A CUSTOM BUILT ELEVATED SHELF. YOU CAN DO THE SAME FOR THE SIDE PLATE.NOT THE LEATHER PART.THE FUZZY PART. Answered on 5/5/2011 by GARY from TORONTO CANADA
