I've never used a sling before. Never thought I needed one. Well I changed my mind on Saturday. I was out in the yard shooting when my loop broke at about 1/2 draw. The Marquis flew a few feet and landed softly,( thank God), in the grass. I knew my loop was starting to look frayed. This was entirely my fault for putting off proper maintenance of my bow. I should have tied on a new loop as soon as I noticed it was frayed. I learned a lesson there. I'm just glad it didn't come at a higher price. I launched my Axis 340 into the woods behind the house not to be found. I will buy and install a wrist sling on my bow this week, " just in case". On the off chance that something like this ever happens again I'll have a bit of insurance. I will also stop procastinating when it comes to taking care of my equipment.

It hapens to the best of us!

It happen to me the second day I got my new Pearson....but it was my fault!

Just make sure you dont have it on to tight buddy.

its good youre ok, for me theyre much more comfortable than not having one

I took mine off as soon as I bought my Vectrix. I think it's an added distraction, as well as an added movementhaving to slip your hand through it when you see a deer. JMHOTo each his/her own.

How much have you been shooting to have worn out your string loop? I wish that I could get out and shoot that much.[&o]

At least 30 shots a day weather permitting.
