Can you tell us how you configured the shelf on the bow.
Looks awesome
Angus the side plate was on it when I got it. The white thing you are seeing is a home made feather rest. I made up a jig for my little chopper that I could get consistent feathers out of my scraps. Then I stack 3-5 on a piece of 3M double stick tape. I do have to adjust my nock point but the rest gives me a much more forgiving release than shooting straight off the shelf.
I've moved to a feather rest on almost all my trad bows with the exception of my selfbow and an original Silvertip that still wears the plastic Bear arrow rest like Paul intended when he built it.
