I have a longbow that was a trade with a fellow archer. Sadly it is a left hand longbow, which means having the shelf rest on the wrong side for me, as I'm a right hand shooter. But who cares with a longbow. First I shot the bow with an arrow rest I glued to the left side, but wasn't comfortable with it. It looked wrong to me shooting a longbow with a plastic arrow rest. So I ripped it off and wanted to shoot the bow with the arrow resting on the back of my hand. It works, but I still needed a hand guard to protect my hand from the sharp feathers. A leather glove isn't thick enough and the feathers cut through it, so I made this:
Sieht irgendwie wie eine Mischung aus orthopädischen Handschuh für Aliens und einem Folterinstrument aus. Also mehr Bilder:
Looks like a mix of an alien orthopedic glove and a torture instrument? OK, here are more pics:
Das Dings an meiner Hand./The thing on my hand.
Mit dem Langbogen in der Hand./With the longbow in hand.
Und hier könnt ihr sehen, wie der Pfeil auf dem Handrücken liegt. Ich umwickle ja immer meine Federn, aber ein Handschutz ist trotzdem zu empfehlen. Ich weiß warum! OK, morgen gibt's wieder einen Perlenpost.
And here you can see how the arrow sits on the back of my hand. I usually wrap my feathers to avoid cuts on the back of my hand, but I still wear a guard. I know why! OK, tomorrow we're back to beads.
