    Tying on feather wind indicator?

    A friend of mine tied me up a feather out of his fly-tying kit on a piece of serving material. I forgot I had it until last night when I found it in my bow kit. How do I attach this to my recurve? I was looking at it last night and though about just tying it in to the top loop but first, I didn't know if the bow string would trash the feather after being shot a couple times and second, I am not the best knot tyer in the world...definately don't know how to serve strings. I also thought about tying it to the string just above the string silencer to keep it in place. Heck I even thought about sticking it to the top limb with a little piece of duct tape but thought that might look a little krappy! Anyway, how do yall attach the indicator to your bow?

    Just tie it on your string near the top. Use a square knot - left over right, then right over left.

            I tie mine to my bow limb.

              I've not had good luck with the feather on the string because the feather seems to have a short life getting jerked around like that. I just use some UNWAXED dental floss tied to the loops on top and bottom. When it gets shredded out some it acts just like a feather. Slightest wind will move it.
              Unwaxed dental floss has been hard to find for me, so I also use some real old, dried out B50 string material that has lost its wax.
              On a recurve, tie it so the string comes off the front of the limb loop so that it won't get fouled in your string silencers.
