Cool. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks! Actually answered a couple of my own "problems".

No thanks.  I do not like anything on my bow but the string.

Great video! And welcome to the brotherhood

Lb,  thank you. Small things can make a big difference.

I like the tips about the zipties and pins.

Great ideas!  

thanks,
Rodd

Thanks!

Thanks for sharing I may raid my wife's seeing supplies to try the pin trick out.

I like the post to keep the arrow on the rest. I have used the match and rubberband technique to keep the arrow on but this is better.
I had a heck of a time getting a rubber tube over my bow and gave up. It worked for me just to cut about an inch of the tubing and place it below the self. Much easier.

Great Ideas,I'll be using from now on. Thanks for sharing.

Well thought out ideas.  Thanks for sharing them!

Thanks for taking the time to share those ideas.  I agree that this is easier than the rubberband and match keeper technique.

Do you find that you get several years of use out of the bike innertube before it dry rots?

Thanks.

Nice..thanks

:thumbsup:

Bill Fredrick,  the grip you see on my bow has been there for almost 10 years. I will need to replace it next year probably casue its getting thin in spots but it last forever. Whe i ordered that bow from Dick Robertson I actually told him to not put a grip on it and use that grip for another bow as i would be replacing it with rubber anyway. So it has been on that bow its whole life.  besides the bow grip there are a hundred uses for innertubes. i plan to do a whole thing about innertubes and thier uses in the future. i use them for battery holders, quiteing chains on treestands, grips on chopping knives machetes and hatchets,protection for my 4 wheeler racks on flashlight handles so they dont fall out of your pocket, cut into rubber band size and wraped around my wallet so the friction hold my wallet from ever falling out of my pocket, etc. bunch of uses for innertubes. they last much longer than rubberbands, hold thier elasticity alot longer as well.

Great ideas! Thanks for sharing.

Thanks LB Hntr.  Good to know.

Another great use for inner tubes is as a fire starter in wet conditions.

Bill, i never knew that about the rubber as a fire started. i just did a video on making fire a week ago and wish i would of know that then...lol. I bet the rubber cat whiskers would work as a fire starter then as well. i will have to try it sometime and see.
