There is a waythat a sling can cause inconsistent shooting.Don't know if it was kmunny's problem or not, but it does make sense, Rob.A lot of folks don't adjust their wrist slings properly. They cinch the things down to where their hands are roped onto the grip. Instead of letting you use a loose, torqe free grip, a too tight sling will force you to torquethehandle, which will naturally cause all kinds of accuracy problems.Slings have to be loose enoughto letyou to pull your hand about an inch away from the grip.

I agree with that AP, I mentioned just that previously and I guess I assume people actually read the forums, I know that is a wrong assumption. Had he read my post on a loose strap and then still posted that, it makes zero sense.

I guess we need to educate everyone on wrist straps. Funny thing is, after all these years I don't think we've discussed this topic much if at all.

I have used them in the past but not anymore. I do not have anything against them. To me it is one more thing to deal with.

I haven't used one for a long time. Ilikejust being able to grabmy bow when a deer is coming in and not having to weave through a strap.

I don't. You can anchor without one.
