Abo Squirrel Grip
PrimitiveTim:
A friend of mine got a new pellet gun so once he got it zero'd in he went and shot a squirrel for the heck of it. He threw it in the freezer and tells me to come get it. I obliged and went over and skinned it. I case skinned with the tail on. The tail just slipped off which I still not really sure how that works but it seems to happen every time.
I cut the squirrel skin to dimensions with a novaculite flake I picked up. Realized I couldn't find my bone needle so I made a new one and sewed the hide on with the stitch being on the belly side. It was possibly the worst sewing job in the world but the fur hides that pretty well. I left the tail on I figure it'll blow a little in the wind and keep me updated on wind direction. lol
Anyway, I thought it was cool and it's so soft! When you draw an arrow across it there isn't a sound.
TacticalFate:
great idea! I just found a roadkill squirrel, might do this for my next bow!
Olanigw (Pekane):
I like it.
How does it hold up with sweaty palms?
mullet:
They make good bowtrings, very tough.

I don't know I made it since I've been up in Georgia and it hasn't gotten warm enough for me to have sweaty palms.
