Sotex — It doesn’t seem there are many folks here who use an elevated rest, much less a plunger. I’m not sure why the arrows you use would complicate shooting off a shelf? Are the plastic vanes? You might at least try lowering your nocking point 5/8″ or so above the shelf and shoot a few shafts. It’s easy, costs nothing, and you might be surprised. I don’t think a bowmaker would even put an arrow shelf on a bow if it wasn’t positioned well for use. Maybe someone else here can be of more help. First and last time I saw elevated rests and plungers on trad bows was back in the days just before compounds erupted, when everyone seemed to be looking for technical ways to improve accuracy with stickbows, mostly high performance recurves, including elevated rests, plunger rests, sights and even stabilizers. None of that would seem a good fit for a hunting bow. Good luck, Homer

Sotex81,

Forget about a drop-away rest. They may be great with a release, but finger shooters require a bit of side pressure during the shot due to paradox.

The NAP Centerest is good, but for bows such as yours (cut well past center and tapped for a plunger) I prefer a stick-on flipper rest and a plunger. On my Titan riser, I shoot off. T300 rest with a TradTech shorty plunger. Your bow may be cut too far from center for a shorty plunger, in which case an inexpensive Cavalier plunger will do just fine. A stick-on NAP FlipperII rest will work well also.

There are a lot of good options out there. You may want to check out Lancaster Archery online.

I actually have the NAP Centerest on my Jaguar and it works very well, however, it’s very tough on feathers. That thing can shred a feather down to the shaft in no time.

A Bear Weather rest won’t shred feathers, is very inexpensive, can be changed out easily, and is great for hunting. For a step up in adjustability and to increase accuracy, I like J.Westbrock’s setup.

no rest should harm the fletch IF nock point is correct and correct arrows are used. An arrow should NOT run down the rest or shelf upon release.

I shoot a terry rest and plunger occasionally on my warf
NEET pro rest on a couple recurves and a Bear weather rest on a couple others. Most i shoot off the shelf
