Yeah Dave, I like the idea of wrapping something around the bow to make a ridge/bump under the leather. Anything should work good for that, a string, a leather thong, wet some small rattan and wrap it etc.

Well, here it is. Not the prettiest, but it seems to shoot pretty good. I really like it, and I hope my victim does too.

Full draw pic sucks. I had to set the camera on a wall, which is why it's looking up at the bow/me.

get a wooden golf tee and cut it/sand it in half.  Nice little rest and it's already shaped for the most part!

 8)  ;D Wishing it was mine!!! Congratulations on your diligence and hard work with your trade bow. And thank all of you for the continued help and support that you've given to make this trade a success.
I found many years ago that it is much easier and more rewarding working with those that don't know anything than those that know it all.

Get a 3" PVC pipe cut to length + 4" and 2 ea PVC caps. Glue a cap on one end and stuff packing to fill the bottom. Wrap the bow with clear plastic or bubble wrap and reinforce both tips with added protection. Place it in the tube and then add extra packing to the top end before putting on the top cap. Then instead of gluing the top cap just fit it tight and wrap the end with packing or duct tape to hold it in place.

Do I just take that to the post office, and they'll weigh it and ship it?
