Title: New product from Farr West Leather
Post by: tim roberts on January 06, 2014, 08:16:00 PM

Last fall while hunting, on several occasions, it seems that the rubber band, that is an important part of the arrow holder seemed to take a vacation, and was nowhere to be found when needed.  
So one evening while trying to keep my hands warm, hold my bow, and be at the ready, I got to. Thinking, there has to be a better way;

Hence, the Brass Post, Improved Arrow Holder.
The improved arrow holder features a bump to prevent the rubber band from sliding off the post.

Way to go Tim. I Like to see new versions of products.
Nice looking bow handle as well.

Nice idea Tim. I wonder how many of these would sell if there was a no-drill version which could attach to the bow and be removed later....hmm? Not even sure it could be done.

For those that questioned the oak dowel bow, for display purposes only, here is one in a bonafided osage selfbow!

somebody else was already doing this but the post was smooth so the elastic could slide off easy.  

I know alot of recurve shooters who drilled the backs of the risers and glued a post in themselves. seen a guy at denton hill who had taken a section of a GN strap on quiver and strapped that to his riser but left a rod section sticking out which he used as a strap on arrow holder with the elastics.  

nice to see someone market it again though, it should be an option on every trad bow made.
