arrow rest

Any custom arrow rests for shooting off the shelf?

Not sure what you are asking.  Off the shelf is off the shelf, I think.

There are commercial shelf rests available, made to fit certain brands of bows, like Black Widow. However, shelf rests and strike plates are very easy to cut out of leather, Velcro, or rug rest material. They either have a peel off backing, or you glue them on with some kind of removable cement, like Barge, so you can easily change them later. The type of material affects where the arrow hits: if your arrow usually hits left (for a rh shooter) you can move the POI to the right by going to a softer strike material. Make sure you take care of any form issues that might be causing this first, however!

Feather rests are nice.

I like feather rests and brush rests. It is hard to beat the pads sold for furniture legs,for quietness,durability,and they just flat out work. Cut to size and they are self sticking.>>--> Ken

I use DuCo to cement a bit of seal fur on the hide on the shelf (with a leather strip centered over the deepest part of the grip) and a leather pad on the riser (also with a leather strip centered on the deepest part of the grip).  

I leave a little 1/8" gap at the angle they meet for fletching clearance.

Quiet and fool-proof.

The hard part was finding a piece from a seal fur coat.  Check rummage and garage sales and thrift stores.
