A guy over on BCUSA posted up this way of putting your cord on the bow, I must say it rocks! Wanted to see if I could do it with little effort and only tools I carry in the bush. Only tool I used was my SRK Farmer, the awl and the saw. Saw to cut the branch to size and the awl to drill the holes. Wasn't too hard and super easy to adjust the cord. I think it took even less time to drill all the holes then it would me fighting to tie knots and untie and retie when the cord went slack! Thanks again to him (SC Dave). ( Mines not near as purty as his) Here's his post on his:

Again, not my idea just passing it on as I think it works great. This teamed up with my improved bearing block and a cottonwood hearth and cedar spindle produced a coal in 12 strokes today!
