Primos Bow Sling?
 
ANyone ever use this thing? How well does it secure your bow? I was planning on using it this fall in Colorado for hunting elk.

They are one of those things for archery hunting that I have bought and am very pleased with. I use mine for raising and lowering my bow in and out of my treestand as they protect the cables, string, cams, and sight from the dirt and snow. I also always put it on my bow while walking out of the woods in the dark to protect it too. The way it goes on your bow, it "locks on" and you don't have to worry about it coming out of the sling; yet it removes easily if you would need to get a shot off. We used them while elk hunting and they are an easy way to carry your bow. GREAT PRODUCT!!!!!

I'm waiting to hear from a few of my XX members to reply. They had them on their bows out here last fall elk hunting with me.

Personally from what I saw, I think they are great for long walks in and out..but once you get in the brush/working elk/bullsyou need to put it away an get the bow in your hand... Jm2c

Yea, they are meant for transporting, but when the action is starting or a possiblity of action, it is time to get your bow in hand.

I used the Primos sling for 1 day of elk hunting and ended up going without a sling the rest of theweek because I hated it so much. I now use a sling that literally hooks to the cable guard (after installing the hook that is). Literally detaches in a jiffy and you can detach it as you are slipping your release on. Works great. I would recommend not paying the extra for a Primos. I hated it because if you took the top cam cover off, the bottom would often hang on and then make it impossible to draw. The beauty of the other sling is it has no chance of getting caught up in the cams when drawing.

I use one, like it very much,just do not climbup the tree with it in the sling, or pull the bow up by the sling.

I use one and like it also, I like the extra little bit of protection they offer. I also like that my hands are free going to and from the stand.

How does the sling work if you have a Stand on your back, does the stand get in the way???

I shorten the sling up and just carry it by my side. I never put it on my shoulder or carry it across my back.

I love mine! I even use itwhile inmy case to protect the string from getting wear on it. It's great for those long hauls to the stand. The only time i dont use mine is walking out of my stand after my morning hunt and going back in for the evening hunt. That's because you never know when you may jump a deer, and having this on and trying to get a shot at a deer walking in is slim. That's the only downfall about this product.

I used it while Elk hunting in New Mexico and loved it, a definate back saver.

picked one up at Walmart a few months ago on clearance for 10$ to use this fall.

My buddy has one and loves it. I really like the idea and had been contemplating on making my own before I saw my buddy's model.

I think it'll be a winner.

yeah, its good, it secures the bow very well and protects the string too.

Great product. I would also recommend getting a pack that has a bow carrier also. Its real nice to have both hands free when you are hauling out meat on the first trip.

RE: Primos Bow Sling?
 
Yeah, they work great when walking far distances and what not, but like everyone else has said, when the action starts you need to get it off the bow and get an arrow nocked
