Different Rests For Recurve Bows And How They Work And Don't Work

loads of choices and some will allow both feathers and plastic vanes as well otherwise your other choices are only for feathers only otherwise well you're asking for problems been there done that

Nice informative video that was, I feel like I understand all those different rests I have a little better now
I'm so sad lol, I have pretty much every rest you showed, but only have 4 bows
The whisker biscuit with the gaps in is what's on the mrs compound bow and she's did the same thing u suggest, turning the nock so the diff coloured vane faces up
I used the string from the kit you were looking at for d rings, the little rubber counterweight goes through a hole in the strap for a brace right at the handle, though I don't use either
What I'm taking from this is, get yourself some feather arrows :) and for time being I think I'm going to use the shelf, I just used some adhesive moleskin (the stuff you use for blisters) on my shelf, with a little piece of kebab skewer under it on the shelf and riser to minimise contact area between arrow and bow, might upgrade to something u showed though
There is 1 rest you looked at, has 2 prongs that the arrow sits on, near end of video you liked the look of, I also have 1 of those, and it's actually really adjustable, especially sideways, I think it could get really close to the centre of bow depending on how it's mounted, when I used it on a compound again I turned the nock so the odd coloured vane faced downwards this time letting the arrow pass through unimpeded so may shoot plastic vanes, but regardless I'm getting some feathers
If you ever feel like making a video on it at some point in the future, I'd really like to wrap my head around the plunger, I know what it's supposed to do, but no one ever explains the adjustments properly, as in if X happens your spring is too loose and if Y happens your spring is too tight kind of thing, they just say adjust till arrow flies straight, not in any rush to know, just if u were looking for future content maybe you could squeeze it in somewhere
Cheers for the explanation of all the different rests though, I really do have most of them, and some I just couldn't wrap my head around, especially the differemt plastic ones that come with cheaper bows

@@KevinMillard68 here in the UK we can't use our bows the same way you guys do :( no hunting :( and a constant threat of restrictions and banning things, latest thing they want banned is broadhead arrows, I'd say we'll probably only be allowed to own a pea-shooter but that likely falls under the blowpipe category which just so happens to be a banned item 😂

@@stefb794 that sounds like it really sucks for sure.. if you cant hunt at all then no offence what is the point of having broadheads just asking

@@KevinMillard68 ah I personally don't have any, but when bans land here there is almost always unintended (or intended) consequences, a ban would also include historical arrowheads, which some people collect
But I guess the real issue is the want to ban everything in this country, and it's almost always blanket bans, so the majority of responsible ppl are punished for actions of a few idiots, and the idiots don't care about something being banned, they'll still own one or have access to 1
Example, gun restrictions because criminals were using guns to commit crimes, but criminals don't care for restrictions and will illegally acquire them without too much trouble, meaning it was only the law abiding who were in effect punished
It's so bad that 1 time police posted a picture of a seized weapons cache, and there was spoons and other cutlery drawer items among it
