Hi Folks,
i´ve build this rough test for a concept i had in mind for a while.. don´t know if it´s original, or if anybody tried this before.. if so or not, please let me know..
..i call it "the elk (with sunglasses on)" for slightly obvious reasons..
..maybe i make a red-nosed rudolph from it for christmas
..it´s a "grip-through-shooter", as i would call it..
..you slip your fingers trough and point your fist into a punching position which lowers the strain on your wrist and gives you some more centimeters of draw-length..
..think it´s more for people who already shoot pfs or stickshooters, so you know how to avoid handslaps..
!!! This could easily break your hand if done wrong, so please be careful.. always turn your pouch and you are good to go..!!!
I´m not responsible for holes in your hands !!!
__pro:
- extended band length
- natural fist position
- fingers free to load the pouch
- looks like an elk
__contra:
- might break your handbones
- looks like an elk
..don´t know which side overweighs, but worth a try
_palm-side

_finger holes

_side view

_grip

_and how to hold this mule..

..for sure, you can add a leather or wooden shelter to put over the hand..
..but till now my hands are fine, although i´m not that experienced with pfs and stuff.. you have 1-2cm above your knuckles which seems enough..
(and i really care for my hands as i need them daily for working as a tattooer )
..it´s not fully worked out, the thumb rest could be wider, the forkbumps could be higher, the surface should sparkle like unicornpoop.. the shape has some weaking points for sure, but i build this for single bands as a target shooter, not for killing real elks with three layers of TBG
..so thats why i publish the blueprints for you to figure out what could be improved.. would be überfunky if somebody tries to build this, too
