How do you secure a bow in the tillering tree?
WhistlingBadger:
I'm finding that simply wedging a piece or two of softwood lathe in behind the handle is keeping it pretty stable. Thanks for the interesting suggestions!

Yeah, that’s what I do - just jam a shim in behind it to keep it in place.

I use this arrangement but have thought about using the same setup as Clay Hays which is a leather pouch that cradles your bow. I have to shim my bows when they are on the long string the keep them from rolling, with Clay's setup the bow can't roll.

Do you have a link to Clay's setup, or remember the name of the video? I vaguely remember that, but can't find it.

What method do you use to connect the rope to the bow?

Well, I dont. I hold the bow with my hands and pull down while looking at it. Sometimes I will set my phone up to record behind me and I will kneel out of view and pull down then go review the video footage to get the answers I'm looking for.
