How do you secure a bow in the tillering tree?

(1/4) > >>

WhistlingBadger:
Working a recurve with very narrow tips.  It has slipped several times and popped upside down on the tree, which can't be doing the bow (or my nerves) any good.  How does one secure the bow down so it doesn't pop out?

Juan Ant. Espinosa:
A little clamp secures nicely in my tillering tree. It doesn't nees to be very tight.

Will B:
I use a small block of wood to create a “box” for the handle to sit in. I also use a clamp if necessary for highly reflexed bows or recurves on the long string. Hopefully this photo will help.

Will B:
Sorry for the extra photos. Not sure why that’s happening

Pat B:
I use a small clamp but once it's braced the bow should balance on the tree.
