From my reading here, I've seen where folks describe a "loop piece of material with a plastic connector" that attaches the front of the bow cushion to the Anchor Eye. Well, my bow cushion doesn't have such a useful piece of gear - and subsequently the cushion flops around and is more of a nuisance that a pleasure.

Can anyone please supply a picture of this - or at least maybe give be a better description of the material used and the type of connector? I could hobble up something that would work, but I'd like to see what BW supplies instead of reinventing the thing.

Thanks very much in advance....

Here are some pics of the forward cushion from my Dauntless 14 (same as the Dauntless 16 strap). The strap is 2 inches back from the seam. The strap is 1 inch wide and 18 inches long. I would go with a 3/4 inch wide strap and buckle so there is more room to tie off the other (loose) end of the anchor rope.

Glad to help. I'll be more prompt next time. 2 1/2 hours was too slow for me. :)
