Default RE: Bow Sling Recomendation????

Make your own like I did. I took a piece of web belt 2" wide and sewed a loop on each end with 3/8" web. Then sew a piece of 1/2" between the 2" piece so it makes a "hole" to put your head/shoulder through. Make the 2" piece to fit the ATA of your bow with the loops sewn on it, and the loops big enough to go over your wheel/cam easily. Sew on one side of the 1/2" piece, pull it across to where you want it and sew it on. Takes about 20 minutes ona sewing machine.

The loops go over your cam/wheel at each end of your bow, the cross piece between the 2" piece keeps it from sagging on your hip. You put it on by putting one arm and your head through the hole. It takes up very little room, and is hands free to carry your bow. To take your bow off, just take the loop off the top wheel, and move the bow up and forward, the back cam falls right out of the loop.

They make a commercial version of this, but mine only cost $6 to get the material at the surplus store. They carry the web at a hiking store too.
