I came back for another look, and this time noticed the quiver. Can I ask you to make another post just about the quiver?
Guns have triggers. Bicycles have wheels. Trees and bows have wooden limbs.

Sure thing! I will make a post.

I'm not sure how long the string will last, It's fairly overbuilt and after about 5-600 shots it's not showing any sign of giving. It's well served at the nocking point. I'm keeping a close eye on the loops as I am wondering the same thing. I've only had one hemp string snap and It was strung on a hungarian style composite my friend had. I suspect the strain on the loop ends was much greater.
