just curious, how wide was the leather strap,
what did you dress the leather with? there needs to be some king of friction helper
DC:
About 3/4" and I didn't dress it. A little bow wax may help. Thinking about what BJ said. If a guy used 1/8" leather you could file a groove where you bend it around the string. That may help.
bjrogg:
DC I haven't had a chance to look yet but it seems more like it was a block of wood shaped right to fit in your hand. About maybe half inch wide leather strap went around front of string to thumb side of block. I don't remember exactly but I want to say there was a slight step making a 90 degree edge on thumb side of block to squeeze strap against with thumb. I really can't remember but I'm pretty sure there was something to help your thumb hold but strap was still smooth for clean release.

DC:
Thanks BJ, no rush.
