antler as arrow rest

<< < (2/2)

Bent Rig:
I made my first selfbow and used a piece of antler from a shed - don't have any pic's , the secret is to use the base of the antler - it's hard to explain - when the antler falls off the buck , more of it comes off/out of the skull past the nobby base - then cutting off a head - it can be round off for the shelf/arrow rest . I'll try and get some pic's - someone else posted pic's cuz that's how I got the idea , I think it awesome - works and looks great ! ;D

DanaM:
Hres a pic of what I did. Arrow flight is fine, it is loud though. I'm still witin on the
full draw pic so this is a sneak preview.

Very nice bow DanaM,I had trouble keeping it on till I drilled a shallow hole in the side and glued it in the hole.That seems to work.
