3 Rivers carries a strap on adapter. I bought it from others advice. I have used it 3 times and have qualms with it whatsoever.
I just zip tie mine on the side of the bow. Usually put tape between the bracket and the bow so It won't scratch the finish.
the strap on adapter works well. You canuse it to hold a reel set up or by putting a bolt thru a right sized crutch ruber end, or just a bottle cap, you can use one of the soda bottle home made reels.
Careful of your set up. I read that TBM article and it sounds great, but in WI I believe it specifically states the ARROW must be attached to the BOW with cord.
Use your imagination and
Have fun
