I dunno, Tony......I "think" it would make me wanna grip the handle when I drew the bow if I didn't have that strap on there. I could be wrong.
Let's put it this way......it's never cost me a shot opportunity....it's light....and I wear light gloves all season long. Not an issue, for me. Also......from stand I can let the bow kinda hang from my arm......in lieu of me having to keep a grip on the handle/grip to keep from dropping it. I've had deer all around me before.....and not been able to put my bowdownor on a hook for several minutes. In these instancesI just leave my release attached and rest the lower cam on my leg. I suppose the strap gives me a sense of security that it wouldn't fall......even if my release went off.
It's just a non-issue. I'm keeping it.
Trust me .....it's easy to get over the desire to grabv the handle .... the bows today are dead in the hand at the shot ....I will always have one tho, for the previous mentioned reason ........cooooooooooooooooooool lookin
I also use my strap like you ....on the stand, and letting the bow rest on my wrist .....
