I have talked to someone who lost his Retriever overboard with a rubber strap adaptor doodad just like that one. Take some good black electrical tape or a tywrap and wrap it around just in case for added security. You can remove almost as quick when you want and don't even notice it on the bow.

Thanks for all the info

I think I know what i'm goin to do. I am going to buy a screw on reel and cut off the screw part with a chop saw. Then I'm going to make a bracket and attatch it to my bow with JB weld or something like that.

I made a gadget adapter out of a block of wood, then tied it down with tape and string Just liek the 3-rivers model. I put an aims reel on a longbow.

You can put the zebco reels into the stabilizer hole, via a reelseat on the appropriate bolt, and if your recurve has sight holes on it, you can bolt the aims reel on direct.
