Stringkeeper
JW_Halverson:
In my attempts to educate and elucidate I am sure mostly I will obfuscate and confustulate. That being said, here's the answer to those of you that hate it when the string slips off your lower limb and you lose that exact braceheight when the string inevitably untwists slightly.
Another view:
JW_Halverson:
Step one!
About 2 square inches of leather.
Fold corner to corner and throw a stitch in it to hold things together.
JW_Halverson:
Fold the third corner down and throw a stitch on this too!
Coupla more stitches...try not to sew this into your finger. Don't ask me how I know this! >:(
Hehehe, kinda looks like a finger puppet owl!
JW_Halverson:
Then hustle up a thong or some cordage and poke it thru a hole in the last and final corner of your square of leather.
With a button or a bit of deer antler to tuck under the loosened loop of the bowstring you got her done! So simple a caveman can do it. Don't tell the Oooga Boooga Rollcall I said that, they ain't evolved a sense of haha yet.
Knoll:
Thanks for taking the time to share. This lil design is far better looking and practical than the ugly things I been using.
