Custom short starter

[Weavedreamer]

Trying to make my own version of TC’s deluxe ball starter and long story short I can’t seem to find a good way to add a lanyard and I can’t find any of those screw on ones like the deluxe version has. Any suggestions?

Something like this?

Get one that's just big enough to fit your lanyard.
Burn it and oil it, or paint it, if the color doesn't work.
I would pre-drill the knob, to avoid splitting the wood.
Just one of many options, and it's cheap. Just like me!

Another thing:

Keep in mind where your hand will push down on the knob, and don't put the lanyard loop there.

Something like this maybe? Easy to attach a lanyard to the handle.

If you're making a starter with a round knob maybe you could loop the lanyard sideways through the knob at right angles so it doesn't interfere with function.

Why not just drill a hole thru the handle in an area that wont hinder its use, and attach the lanyard that way.
You can also put a lupe for the short starter on your shooting/possibles bag.
