Brush Arrow Rest
« on: July 30, 2016, 11:05:02 am »
I made this brush arrow rest for my shoot through Hickory Molle' flight bow>
It really helps get a clean flight and it's all natural materials.

That's flat out awesome! 8)  You definitely want a well tuned Arrow for that baby so it doesn't hit the outside of that shelf.

  Nice job on that but I don't think it would be legal. I would like to see that change. Any kind of elevated rest is not legal.

@ Badger
Legal, Smeagol (as J R R Tolkein would say) ;), I'm only doin' it for my own enjoyment, not trying for anything "official".
@ajooter
Yup, before I added the brush, I had two arrows smash and bruise my forearm :-[
One exploded... but I had to try again ::)... my nerves were shot for days. I tried it today, shoots sweet as a nut, but I had extra strapping on my left arm, safety glasses and a bump cap :o (true!)

   I am always nervous about that, I have broken  a few nocks and had the string hit my arm pretty hard but so far have never had an arrow break in the middle. I have witnessed several with injuries however.

Yeah, it had me thinking.
My theory is that the arrow made contact with the left edge of the window which acted as a fulcrum, like breaking a stick against your knee. If it had just been a shelf, I don't think they'd have broken, just snaked a tad as they left the bow.
The brush on the left edge certainly seems to do the job (just to clarify.. in the pic we have the archers view of the bow).
Regarding legality.. if I took off the lower brush, which is actually the arrow rest would that then be legal?

He has been slipping a while, but I think he has rolled off the edge of the table now.   :laugh:
