Posted on March 9, 2010 by evelyn bookhammer in - Bow Hold/Bow Arm

This idea was conceived in an effort to give a small beginner the sensation and concept of a heavy bow hand and arm. I filled a surgical glove with water and suspended it from her arm to add weight to her bow arm and called it her helping hand. The soft flexible glove also gave her an example of the feel of something soft and heavy. I think if there were a way to attach it temporarily to the top of her hand and wrist it would be better than having it hang under where it can get in the way. Any ideas?
