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.

Here you go John

Thanks Whip!

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

That is awesome ......

Seems like a better system, than the Rubber Fingers....

Drilling a big hole in your bow would prolly be better...OUCH!  

John  Here is what I use,mounts with a strip of velcro easy to remove,easy to make and will stay on bow.Kip

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.

John  Actually it made of junked TV woodgrain console that is ground down to a point on a bench grinder with a rubber band.I brought a bunch to Bear Quest II and have an extra  P.M. your addy will send you one.Kip

Kip i sent a PM  Thank you guys.

TTT  for paperengineer.

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.

Thanks, I'll give that a shot!
