Just got a new bow, I was wondering if anyone knew any tricks to not scratch the riser when you tighten on the stablizer and the metal part of the wrist sling touchs the bow.

Maybe something I could put in between the riser and the sling.

I know that you are not going to see the scratchs, but if there was a way to avoid it all together I'd rather do that.

get a braided wrist sling they have a leather center piece

i agree, I have a braided one, no metal in it at all

Thanks for the info, but unfortunitly I already have the paradox braided sling, and it has a metal circle for the stablizer to go trough. . Damn I wish I would taught of this before.[:@]

Put a little moleskin between the riser and metal connector for the wrist strap(or the sticky camo material for the riser and bow shelf)It will also absorb a little noise as well.

I've seen rubber washers called fender washers which would be perfect for your needs. Very thin. Might even absorb some vibration.

Thanks alot for the info extreme1, and jerseyhunter!

I think I'm going to try a rubber washer, if I can't find that, then I will go with the moleskin.

Thanks again

BA,

Thin nylon washers are available at larger hardware stores and will work also.


Sag.

I don't like the way the stabilizer mounting insert is so low on the BowTech bows, it makes you use a sling that is very large. To eliminate this problem, I was shown a trick by a shop owner in Oregon.

You take a piece of braided rope, loop it though the hole in the riser closest to the grip and around your hand. Cut it to length. Wrap the ends with some dental floss to hold the strands together and have someone hold a lighter between the two ends, when they start to melt push them together and form the melted part with your fingers. Unwrap the loose dental floss.

I used green rope from a horse lead rope we had and made about six slings from it for myself and friends. You would think that it would not be too strong, but I have yet to see the joint start to come apart, and guaranteed not to scratch the finish. It made it through the whole 3D season, and Elk camp.

Just remember to make the rope long enough to go over gloves for hunting in the winter.

If its got a leather piece with the metal ring, just cut the ring out of it with a razor blade. This also lets your stablizer to come in direct contact with you bow and take away more vibration.
