--- Quote from: nclonghunter on October 21, 2015, 06:44:16 pm ---Turbo, I read your question again and realized I thought you were asking about staying on the face of the preform or the slot but I think you meant keeping the antler in the slot when striking it. If the leather is hard leather it vrips the antler but I punched holes on both sides and tied it around the antler underneath. I have used it for hours and it never came loose. Hope I answered it right this time.

Yes, I meant this, sounds like a good solution. I know you've seen Marty's videos and probably know before he put it on a stick (which I plan to do) he used his leg to hold it. I've tried that but like you found it clumsy.

The only punch I have is elk and is on the smaller size. I need to score some good/mostly straight whitetail antler to make some. Been using the buffalo horn but need a medium size whitetail to punch some of that Georgetown I got from Curtis.
