Hey everybody. I am a new trad shooter and am having some issues with my arrow rest. I shoot a tomahawk longbow and I am getting a lot of wear on the calf hair rest next to my hand ( away from riser). I have even been scuffing the wood that isn't covered by the rest! I cant figure out what I might be doing to cause this. Any suggestions would be very much appreciated!
I've heard that means your over spined on your arrows. Might try raising your nock a little also.
There are a lot more knowledgeable people on the site than me though.
I have the same problem. I was using stick-on synthetic fuzzy stuff and 10 arrows later it was half gone. Finally I just put some thicker leather on instead and all seems fine. But to answer your question; I don't know what causes it.
I did figure out today that my arrows are over-spined. Maybe that is part of it. Appreciate the input.
If your arrows are over spined the quill of one of the hen feathers is usually causing that.
