Basically using it in an archery glove, the contact point will be bent around the string. On a good week I used to shoot 2000 arrows. Not quite at that volume any more but 500 a week wouldn't be unthinkable. The leathers on my target shooting tab lasted 2 years at the 2K arrows a week level.
By slick I mean lubricated to increase wear resistance with the string drag. Should have been more open about the project instead of beating around the bush.
