Guys, I have that other post about modifying the grip. Part of my grip issue is that my hand squishes up so high that it just about contacts the shaft. Its a no-go with feathers. Basically my hand needs to go down or my shelf needs to go up. Simple answer is probably put a stick on rest but I really don't want to. So in light of that has anyone raised their shelf up a bit?

Things that come to mind is putting a toothpick under shelf material (same idea but maybe bigger). The Wengerd fishing line rest (kinda like a stick on, but kinda feels more solid like a shelf to me). Or just making a shelf plate out of some thick 1/4" leather.

OR I could just move my hand down when I reshape the grip.

Again I don't want to reinvent the wheel, so have any of you guys encountered this?

Turkey feather rest will get it up about 3/16" and you could even get something under that as well.

I tried this on my LB some years ago just for giggles. It had leather on the shelf and I put a hair stick on on top of that And it shot great.

Cut a piece of felt furniture pad. Sticks on, durable and quiet.

I have the same problem,  I glued a piece of 1/8" thick piece of leather on top of the leather shelf that's already on it.  Works fine.
Oh, don't forget to raise your string nock.

A thick rug rest would probably solve the problem.Rug rest will raise the arrowThier a nice rest as well being quiet and the quill passes through them nicely.

Any other choice of material that raises the arrow will be fine.Feather rests are great as well!Very forgiving in my opinion.

I've used a piece of leather boot lace under the rug rest.  Worked fine.

Cut furniture pads seems to be the "fix" for guys that want to shoot "off the shelf" with metal risers and still use the plunger hole for adjustments. It should work for you as well. They can be sliced to the thickness you desire as well. Only downside is the packages usually contain enough pads for 10 bows.

Raising the rest isn't going to solve the problem of your hand being squished upward.  That's an indication the grip is too small or too high wrist for your comfort.  Better to modify the grip or find a different bow, IMO.

Orion beat me to it.  High wrist grips tend to mush the web of your hand upward.  I can seldom adapt to a high wrist bow.  Easy fix on an ILF rig or a more extensive grip modification on a solid riser.  If your good with hand tools it can be a fun afternoons work.
