Relief For Bruised Fingers

I had assumed that the archer’s finger tab was a modern invention, but I was pleasantly surprised to find out that I was wrong. I cut one out of the thick, stretchy elk hide I’ve had for years that’s not good for much else, and it seems to work as advertised. No more shooting until I finish getting packed for Saltare, though!

You Got Served

My bowstring was starting to get a little fuzzy, which made me nervous. I decided it was time to serve the center of the string. I made a serving tool using these instructions (more or less), and it worked as advertised:

I loaded it up with button thread and gave it a shot. The end result looks serviceable, if not especially pretty:

I tied on a couple of nock points with crochet yarn (plus an extra one that I didn’t quite put in the right place). The arrows seem to snap on to the string a bit more snugly now, so I hope they’ll still release correctly. I guess I ‘ll find out later…
