I use a wrist sling for hunting, and a finger sling for targets/3D.

I generally do. I don't have one right now, but thats only because the "leather" part of it was made of rotted and fell apart.

Never used one before but I think I might try one out this season. What are the major reasons to use one? I haven't really found a reason to use one.

With today's bows being so smooth and shock free, they don't jump out of your hand like they used to. I don't see the need.

May not be needed but I use one anyway. Probably just a habit from years ago.

Send me a PM with your address and I can send you a new one next time I ship my internet orders out (probably next week). I have a bunch of them that were installed on display bows from last years inventory that are sitting around. Once they sell on ebay and I pay ebay and paypal, it isn't worthy my time......I would rather send to someone that needs it. I have one black, and 2 that are camo colors.......

I have always used one. I tried shooting without one last year and started to feel confident about not having one on my bow. Then, while target shooting, I screwed up my release and the bow flew 3 feet out of my hand. Landed on a concrete floor and banged up both cams.

My thanks to Len for helping me out with that mess! [&:]

I've never used one but I sometimes wonder if I grab hold of my bow too soon after release and alter the arrow flight, so I'm thinking about getting one. Are they as inexpensive as they look to be?

Yes i do also, i added one to my bow last year and i love it.

I use them, I shoot with such a relaxed hand that if I didn't use them the bow would be laying out in front of me and trust me, I bounced a few friends bows...not good..LOL

I don't!

I had never used one until I bought my new bow the spring of 2005 . It has pretty much eliminated ant torqueing as I don't squeeze the bow handle anymore . Don't know how I ever got along without one !

RE: Wrist sling/strap
 
I have always used one. May be just in my mind, but it seems to make the bow become attached to my arm rather than it being held in my hand, if that makes any sense. Regardless, I shoot better with it than without.
