My old Bear Whitetail Hunter (circa 1982 or so) has always had a simple plastic prong sticking out and up at about a 20 degree angle as an arrow rest.
It's ripping the vanes off many of my arrows.
And, I found that many arrows I've bought have glued-on nocks that are made for a horizontal shelf rest, with the cock feather or differnt-color vane sticking straight up, not to the left. If I could twist the nocks around, great, but some arrows don't have rotating nocks.
This bow has 3 power settings and I've got it set to the max, which is advertised as 60 lbs peak draw, but I don't think it's anywhere close to that. It feels like a 45-lb. pull at best, and my arrows fly "straight as a softball" at any distance beyond 20 yards.
I'd like to order arrows, ready to use out of the box, that are ideal for this bow...
but you should choose your arrows with an eye towards your arrow rest system, right?
Well, I was thinking about a bristle containment rest. A whisker biscuit. The bow's riser isn't drilled and tapped for such an accessory, but I have a drill and a tap and die set, and It's a metal riser, so I can make that happen.
If I did get a whisker biscuit, do y'all have any suggestions for what arrows to buy? A dozen, all identical, is what I 'd like. Quality arrows for target use on a dense foam archery block target. I only want to shoot out to maybe 35 yards, max. The trajectory will be too much like a rainbow beyond that.
My bow does have a peep sight and a set of 4 brass sighting pins.
It's now got the nock point of the string wrapped for better wear and strength, and there's a D-loop for clipping on my mechanical trigger/release.
