Title: arow holder help
Post by: kctreeman on July 29, 2008, 10:13:00 PM
Could someone please post a picture on how they use a rubber band and matchstick for a arrow holder.  I had a pin in the back of my old recurve that did the same thing but I don't want to start drilling holes in my new bow.Thanks for the help.

And if you tape it to the riser it wont fall off when you draw.

Thank you guys. Whip you showed that to me in TX but I couldn't remember how it worked. Thanks again.  Kip what is that made of? I like the looks of it also. Going on a bear hunt in a few weeks and I hate climbing back dow a tree to retrieve an arrow.  I will use your suggestions tonight and put something together.
Thanks for the help.

I love the toothpick idea, but thought the beauty of it was that it would fall away as the arrow is drawn back.  Try as I might it hangs on all the way to full draw.  I certainly don't want to shoot though it.  What am I missing?

Stinger:

Do you have the "knotted" part to the front of the shelf (away from you)?  May also want to try rolling the rubber band some.
