I've never used or seen one used, but don't they make a bow strap? It attaches to the bow and goes around your wrist, I think. You have a very loose grip in the bow and when you draw, you open your hand, and the strap keeps the bow from falling when you release.
Great video by the way. Your Dad looks like a happy camper!

John, I'm glad your dad is able to shoot the bow. He seems to have no trouble drawing it. Thanks for sharing this and happy shooting to both of you.

Thanks again for selling the bow and making this happen!
I was surprised at how he made it look so easy after 40 + years of no shooting He kept complaining that I had the bag target too close (18-20 yards). I'm afraid he's not going to be to happy with my shooting once he come over to shoot with me and he see me miss at that same range, I better get my TP fixed fast!

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful story. I am sorry I didn't get a chance to read it yesterday.
I am also sorry I don't have your father's form!!!!
Man he hasn't lost anything after all that time and that 28# bow looks like he can hold it all day.
Soon I would imagine he will be able to shoot hunting weight bows and if your are lucky enough you can take him out again hunting. Looks like you ignited the fire again.
Great story. I wish my father was around so I could do the same for him.
