Title: Selecting an arrow rest. . .convert used bow from finger to mechanical release?
Post by: atomicjoe23 on December 30, 2009, 09:34:16 PM: I have not shot for ~15 years and was given a bow to use on permanent loan. . .the bow is set-up for finger release with a plunger style rest and I would like to use a release. I have heard, but do not know if it's true that I need a different type of rest to use a release.

How should I go about selecting an appropriate arrow rest?

Also how difficult is it to install a release loop. . .and where should it be installed on the bow string?

Thanks
