Bow Sling...Got One?...Use It?

[Jagermeister]

I use a wrist sling. I do not grip the bow once the string has opposing pressure during the draw stroke and have never dropped the bow even during the rare instances that the release opened unexpectedly. I vaguely remember practising to clasp the bow after the arrow was released so it's just a reflex action that I do not have to think about.

a properly adjusted sling can actually help a person be more accurate when they shoot.with a wrist sling one does not even have to grip the handle after a shot is executed. the bow if properly balanced will just roll forward onto the sling.

wouldn't think of not using one, it has saved my bow more then once

Used them, tried a bunch of different styles, now I never use one.Okay for some people it gives them the confidence to relax the bow hand and feel they won't drop the bow.I've never dropped a bow upon release.
Winter time, snow on the ground, winter coat, felt pak boots, insulated gloves,bow sling, going down a hill, slip and fall and start to slide down hill, try and get rid of your bow with a bow sling on and insulated gloves. I don't want to slide down a hill with my bow and broadheads in the quiver fallig out around me while I bounce down a hill, I want to get the bow away from me, preety hard to with a sling and thick gloves,even if the sling is loose.

Hows the wrist doing?

You're right that I know "S_ _ T HAPPENS!!!"

The wrist is waiting on the ulnar nerve to regenerate itself. I was told 12 - 18 months..........
