I just got one for my hunting bow because I'm trying to break my death grip habit. So far it's not helping.

(Spend your summers shooting 1500 grain arrows attached to your bow by 200lb test line into 40 lb fish.... and you'll understand the death grip)

When I first started out I didn't usu one,then over the years I started to and had them on my bows for a few years but now I'm back to not usingone. I guess I went back to my roots, I don't think you will ever see another on any of my bows again. It just feel more comfortable without it even though it was just sitting there loose.

Mine had one on it when I got it. I shot a few shots and decided I didn't like it, and it hasn't been on since!!!:)

I've used one from the beginning. I hold the bow so loosely now that my hand is pretty much open when I release. I've never had an issue with hand-torque. My bow's not a very forgiving bow either, so I know it helps alot.

I haven't used one for the last 4 or 5 seasons now, and don't plan on ever using one again. I still shoot plenty good to kill most every thing I shoot at, and that's good enough for me.

I shoot more consistently without one.
That makes no sense. The wrist strap does absolutely nothing on the bow other than stop it from falling out of someone's hand. If you can shoot without one, you can shoot with one, it does nothing.

I use one on my hunting bow. On my target bows I use a finger sling.

Im surprised I'm the only guy so far that uses it for carrying the bow in. I just assumed that's what it was for. I use it when shooting about 50% of the time, but walking in the woods, I can sort of flip my bow around, and just dead hang it off my wrist by the strap. Maybe I'm not supposed to do that, but it works great.;)

I have had one on every one of my bows since 1980.

If I don't use a wrist strap of finger sling, I'd tear up a bunch of sights, and cams. I broke a sight on a PSE Mojo 3d a couple months ago because the guy insisted I didn't need a finger sling [&:]. We patched things up and gave the guy a HUGE discount on a new sight and ended up making money.
