Another Mouse Trap (Arrow Holder) Added Step By Step Instructions.

WhiteOaks:
I've been thinking about a better way to make an arrow holder for when I'm on stand. I like the idea of the rubber band and pin but I didn't like the idea of drilling a hole in my bow. I got the idea today to try an ordinary safety pin. I cut off the sharp end and bent it straight. I then bent the loop to conform with the bow and taped it to the side of my bow with velcro. The loop holds the rubber band to use over and over and the band slips nicely off the pin when drawn. Simple, Neat, and Cheap.

For years I used a popsicle stick and two rubber bands. One to hold the stick on the bow, the other to hold the arrow.

3Under:
I used a dowel once, with the contour of the riser shaped in into the dowel. I used double sticky foam tape to attach dowel to the riser. The rubber band was attached at the "back side" of the riser end of the dowel.The rubber band was then streched over the arrow to the dowel on the "belly side" of the dowel.

It isn't clear to me how the rubber band comes off the arrow while drawing the arrow on your set up. I do like the simplicty of the holder though.

3 under,

The rubber band goes around the shaft and reconnects to the short pin pointing to the rear. Pops off the arrow as soon as you start to draw.
