go to 3rivers and get the calf hair for the shelf. You can trim to fit.

 

I use velcro and it lasts forever - I usually have to replace when the adhesive wears out and gets brittle after a looooong time. If your rest is wearing out that fast - I suspect it is a tuning issue - try shooting through paper at 6-8 feet and see what type of tears you get.

 

stick on chair pad or velcro in a week and a half tuning issue raise nock 1/16 of an inch more..

 

I'm like you, just got my Tomahawk Diamond Desert Fox about 3 weeks ago and have already "balded" the factory pad from wayyy more shots than I can count.
I bought the same calf hair one from 3 Rivers and am going to change it out this weekend.

 

Sounds like you need to tune a little better, I could not even guess how many shots I take from longbows with the same rest. Darn near good forever.

 

Not a tuning issue on mine as best I can tell, fantastic arrow flight with bare shaft,nock,brace etc. all good.

 

When I paper tune at 8 feet I get a high nock no matter where I put the nock point. I start intentionally high and can get it to about a 1 inch tear - nock high, and when I lower the nock point any more the tear starts going up again. When I bare shaft at 20 yards things group well with the bare shafts just slightly right. I am right handed. From what I have researched I should go with the bare shaft evidence. The arrows seem to fly real nice, even and straight.

 

something is wrong - you should be able to get good tears if your arrows are tuned - you are likely moving your nock locator in too large of increments - sometimes a nock that is too low will tear showing nock high. Here is what my tears looked like a few years and pounds ago:

 

You are right sharp! I was moving in about 1/8" - 1/16" increments so I went back and got to the 1" nock high tears and then went up just one ring of the serving and voila. Nice tiny holes. Any deviation I am quite sure is me. I think I've got things as good as I'm going to get for now. I love this game

 

great - you will now find that your arrow rests will last a very long time. This is why I believe that bareshafting is rough tuning and the fine tuning is through paper - because the arrow leaves the bow slightly differently when it is fletched.

I live above the funeral home - I am a funeral director - so it doesn't freek me out - the only time i ever got creeped out was the night I watched the movie - The 6th Sense and got a call at 3:00am and had to go down into the dark funeral home with images of that creepy movie in my head - needless to say - I don't watch those kind of movies anymore -
