The leather side goes up, wipe down with oil about once a week. I have one that is 3 years old, gets shot daily.

Sam,

From your pics it looks like the top one is the side that should go to the string...

I shoot one like Sam K... Mines 4-5 years old now and I have backups for backups and still running on the original... love it!!!

Thanks so just to confirm the dark brown leather looking side goes to the string?

That's the way mine is... although I have to look close now as it's so grubby from all the shooting I've done with it ;-)
