[Macbow]

I guess it depends whether aesthetics or performance has priority. I shoot AFB but I recently got a 48# custom take down recurve from the USA as a travelling bow. I happily shot it for a while off the shelf but had a spare Hoyt Hunter rest so stuck it on just to see and was amazed by how much more accurate and forgiving the bow shoots now. I also have a set of shafts fletched up with vanes for the usual wet Scottish weather. I then borrowed a mate's stubby stabiliser as an experiment and once again got a noticeable increase in accuracy, so much so that I am currently looking at buying one of my own. Yes my lovely wood static recurve looks kind of ugly now but tighter groups at longer ranges looks very sweet indeed.
My advice is set the bow up for shooting off the shelf and enjoy shooting until you're satisfied with your groups. Then spend £2 on a stick on rest, readjust your nocking point to suit and see if it makes enough difference to keep it. Throw it away if you don't like it and you're only out of pocket a few quid.
