Releases
DC:
I use Braided Spectra fishing line for serving. I just measured it and it doesn't show any wear. Maybe that's my job for the rest of today. see if i can figure out what's happening. The arrows are bamboo, i would think it would wear well. We'll see.
DC:
I tried a dozen or so shots and it releases great but I was having trouble holding it. Can't pinch hard enough. So I folded the end over and stitched it to make a little knob. Now I can hold it reasonably well but when I release it the little knob I made flips around and smacks my index finger knuckle. It really hurts ;D. I don't think I could put up with that for long. A little more thought maybe.
DC:
Changed a couple of things. I stiffened the section the arrow is pointing at. This made it effortless to hold at full draw so I cut off the knob that was smacking my finger. Now that I wasn't concentrating on holding it I noticed that it was biting into my middle finger where the loop is so I widened that a bit. It really seems to release nicely. It still smacks my knuckle a bit but I could live with that. It's not as comfortable as my normal tab so I don't know if I'll use it. More practice I think. Somehow it seems like cheating though. ;D ;D
willie:
might work bettter if you were holding the draw weight with your wrist or elbow even.
freeing your hand up for just releasing the arrow could let you release a number of different ways.
DC:
That's a thought. I was going for the tab replacement look. What I don't want is a "Take it off and put in a little bag between shots thing".
