Last year I purchased a T.R.U. Ball Release.\u00a0 In a word, I love it.\u00a0 However, I didn’t really like the V-Lock wrist strap option (http:\/\/truball.com\/V-lock.html<\/a>) so I decided to make my own.<\/p>\n

I found one of those Croakies(R) sunglasses straps in one of my miscellaneous\u00a0gear bins.\u00a0 It is made from a high-quality braided cordage and had a slip-adjuster already in place.\u00a0 Perfect!<\/p>\n

After shooting a few arrows and examining my form in a mirror, I figured out that the strap should connect to the body of the release at a point about 1″ to the outboard side of the caliper axis centerline.<\/p>\n

I simply drilled a hole and countersinked both sides to eliminate sharp edges and reduce wear on the cord.\u00a0 Then I threaded the cord through the hole and melted the end to the point where a molten blob formed.\u00a0 Next I pressed the end against the metal table of my\u00a0bandsaw to flatten it, creating a hard “stop” to keep the cord from pulling back through.<\/p>\n

Done deal – bare bones simple and it works great! (click on photos to enlarge)<\/span><\/p>\n
