Re: MAGNETIC ARROW/BOLT REST
Saw a few images of the magnetic rests and think you could make one by drilling holes radially around the perimeter of your 'frame'. Saw some jigs on you tube that could inspire your own drill jig while researching soda can / beer can alcohol stoves.
Unless you have a finely tuned crossbow first, bristle rests are far easier. Maybe a v block with toothbrush heads for bearings would work?
