I like to make some of my own gear.  I came across an old utility belt I had no real use for.  As I looked at the heavy nylon weave of the belt I got an idea.  Using an old tab as a pattern I traced out and cut  the tab shape from a piece of the belt.  I heated a bolt to melt the holes in it and to melt the edges a bit.  I think I have a winner!  Tough and the string slips off it nice!

Nice job!Its tough and slick so must make for a nice release and longlasting as well.

Send me one in split finger. :)

It looks to me like you could make a strike plate out of the same nylon.  It would no doubt be silent, and probably less friction than a piece of leather.  At times I want a strike plate that's a little thicker or thinner or softer or firmer than whatever I'm already using, in order to micro-tune a bow, and that would be a useful alternative to consider.

In the beginner's mind there are many possibilities. In the expert's there are few...So the most difficult thing is always to keep your beginner's mind...This is also the real secret of the arts: always be a beginner.  Shunryu Suzuki

Nice job. Bet it will be durable

I made one a few weeks ago with seatbelt webbing which is more slippery.  Works great but started to fray on the bottom finger.   Might just be me not heat sealing the edge well enough.

Good idea and thanks for sharing!  The prices of gear these days is outrageous

I think that will be a good and much better than my old leather ones I've made being slicker. Good job
