Default How many of you do not use a Bow hand strap?

And how come you do not?
For others I guess why do you? For what is mentioned below?

I use one for the purpose of keeping my hand in place even though they state more to keep your bow
fromdropping after the shot.

I don't as of right now, but I've since change my grip, and feel the addition of one will really help with the bow falling out after the shot. If not, it always looks cool

I used one for a few years. They suck in the winter w/ gloves, so I stopped using them. It's never been a problem. If you grip and form are right, the bow isn't going to jump out of your hand anyway. It'll stay there.

Yeh, I never used one for the 17yrs I have been bowhunting, I out one on after the season, and I just took it off, I think it may be the reason why stabilizer is working loose, and it serves no purpose for me reall, I mean I have never dropped my bow!

I think it's more of a mental/subconcious thing than anything. Mine has never jumped out of my hands either, but I know Rob had to make a mental effort when shooting my Ross without one (he shoots with a sling).
