Wrist slings??

I use a wrist sling since the day I learned to shoot a bow. I probably would not need one now but it gives me confidence. I can not see why it's a "pain" to use one because mien is shaped like a loop (leather) and the hand slips in and out easily without having to think about it.

I find it annoying in the late season hunts when you need to wear gloves as it is more of challange to slip in and out. i also find it kind of restricting when hiking around with the bow always in one hand but i also dont want to be caught with the bow in the wrong hand. anyone agree with that??

Hunter4life - My wrist sling is adjustable, so in the winter when I have to wear bulky golves I adjust the sling accordingly. If I am hiking for a long way then I use the bow sling, which lets me carry the bow like a rifle over the shoulder.
Once in the area I want to spot and stalk I use a nifty little device that is called bow rest. This device hangs from the belt and has a little cup at the bottom where you rest the bow limp tip (weel) in it. This takes a lot of the weight of the bow and still lets you be ready for the shot within a second.
Even if I do have to change hands for some reason I never had a problem to slip quickly in or out of the wrist sling.
It works great for me. But that's me, I am not saying it's the same for you or others.

For the late season thing using gloves, lengthen it out a little so it is quick & easy to use. Try it a few times to make sure. As huntwriter mentioned, I also use a cup attachment on my belt, usually for the still hunting end of things. For more long distance packing, the sling comes in very handy.

I use a sling, It helps me relax my grip w/o worrying about my bow falling out of my hands, not that it ever had before i used one.
