Epoxy rest.Quicksteel works great,or WaterWeld.If you decide to remove it...just knock it off.

 

mines jb weld and i love it

 

When I use my recurve or longbow I shoot with the bow canted. You can also roll the string some to keep the arrow on the shelf.

 

This is exactly what I do as well. It takes a little bit to get used to, but its the cheapest way to shoot a recurve!

Also, I usually grip the string with the last 3 fingers of my hand under the nock, and my thumb pressed against the side of the nock. Help to keep the nock from slipping off the string! I've also tried gripping the nock between my thumb and pointer finger, which always holds the arrow to the string, but I'm not quite as accurate for some reason?

 

i dont use one but if i put one on it will be water weld

 

I just have a bear hair rest like this one on my recurve.

 

exactly what i do seems to be the best way to shoot a recurve

 

need some pics of the waterweld and epoxy rest

 

I agree that shelf shooting is the best way to shoot a recurve but this shelf is unbelievably shallow. I said half inch but more like 3 to 4 tenths of an inch, and the riser is curved. I always shoot all my bows instinctive and at an angle (45 degrees), but i still cant seem to keep the arrow from jumping off on snap shots. I can try rolling the string or pressuring the nock, but i would really love a worry free type rest.

When i think epoxy i think two-part, runny, clear stuff. Is there a putty-like epoxy i can easily shape to what i want?

the stuff Gar God said is a putty type stuff and will end up looking grey in color. JB Weld also makes a putty type also... any autoparts store has this stuff for sale...

 

I shoot the bear hair stuff with a cant to the bow.

 

CAn you guys post pics of an epoxy or other such rest. Just bought a recurve today and am curious as well
