Hey HoochieMama, just wanted to share my bad example. I puchased the pack from Cabelas that holds the bow on you back. Great idea for Western Wisconsin as we hunt steep hills and ridges. Unfortunately, last year was my first expierence and had a gorgeous 10 point buck walk down the opposite ridge at 40yds but all I could do was watch as my bow was strapped to my back! OOPS! A sling would be the way to go!
