Title: How I primitivly hold an extra arrow on my bow.
Post by: Ed Brooks on December 04, 2013, 03:21:57 pm

The question came up on here, how do you hold an extra arrow primitively to your bow? This got me to thinking, and this is what I did so far. It's cherry bark wrapped it's self around the bow and the arrow.
I wanted to see how this may work before posting,
I got to chase a buck around with it on my bow and it worked, (no luck with the buck)

That's cool. I wonder how durable it is? But even if its fragile, it would be a cheap and simple thing to replace. Good thinking.

Thanks for looking. Slackbunny I'm not sure how it will hold up but yeah free and easy to replace.
Don, I have only used one, this one slides up and down a little and I can hold the arrow while packing the bow. Ed

Cherry bark is tough stuff and quite elastic so I would guess it would last quite a while. That is a very ingenious idea I love it.
