Buck Trail calf hair shelf and plate rug rest

Looking for a traditional rug rest for your longbow?

The Bucktrail Calf Hair Rug Rest is a simple and effective way to provide a smooth shooting surface while protecting both your bow and arrows from wear.

This set includes two self-adhesive pieces: one for the arrow shelf (ledge) and one for the side plate (the vertical section beside the arrow). Together they help create a consistent arrow position and allow the arrow to slide smoothly past the bow on release.

Why choose the Bucktrail Calf Hair Rug Rest?

• Designed for traditional bows Suitable for longbows and other traditional bows that shoot directly from the shelf.
• Natural calf hair construction The soft calf hair provides a smooth, forgiving surface for the arrow while helping to minimise wear on both the bow and arrow shaft.
• Helps promote consistency By providing a stable and repeatable arrow position, a rug rest can contribute to more consistent arrow flight.
• Protects your bow Acts as a sacrificial layer between the arrow and the bow, helping to reduce abrasion over time.
• Easy to install The self-adhesive backing makes installation quick and straightforward.

Many traditional archers prefer calf hair rug rests because they are quiet, durable and maintain the traditional look and feel of the bow.
