Do Y'all Use Wrist Slings?

[RedBeard22]

Who here uses a wrist sling?
In what situations are they helpful?
If so, which one do y'all recommend?

I don't.

When my loop breaks ill probably regret it
My opinion is it's more of a safety anymore, bows don't recoil to the point of needing them. Might help your grip, if you worried about it flying out your hand.

I had one on my fist bow and when I got my new one and handed my old one down to my son as his first bow I cheaped out and didn't buy one for the new bow......haven't missed it

I guess "use" is a relative term. I have one on my bow but it is way loose and does nothing but give me confidence that it won't fall if I drop it after the shot.

Which one do you use?

I didn’t like the store bought ones I tried so I made my own with a piece of leather and some paracord. Didn’t want it too stiff or tight.

I do not

Absolutely

 

[Agross]

I do, always have. I have it quite loose but just feels more stable/comfortable to me

I stopped using one for a while, but then had a thumb peg on my release break while I was drawing which caused me to drop a brand new target bow on the range floor. No damage to the bow or sight, but I now use dyneema cord tied onto my bow in a loose loop as a wrist strap.

The dyneema cord is way more minimal than any other strap I could find.

I used one for over 30 years but didn't put one on the latest bow. Had a release malfunction with a premature eject. The bow went for a flyer and landed on the lower cam right in the gravel and dirt. Scratched, scuffed and minor dents but still works. I may put a small loose sling back on.

I do but mainly just because I always have. It’s fairly loose and I don’t actually notice it touch my wrist at all

I haven’t been using mine lately, but some of you have me worried now….

I don’t. I had a piece of paracord on my last bow in lieu of a legit wrist strap. Never once used it.

 

[ILoveLamp13]

I don’t use one. The way I draw if my release breaks or whatever I’m not likely to drop my bow. I only relax my bow hand once I’m at full draw

 

[TxxAgg]

No. Just one more thing to get in the way.

 

[406unltd]

No

 

[Thebigbaby]

Yes.

 

[Badseed]

I do because it helps give me the reassurance that the bow isnt going to fall after I shoot. The point of that is that I can leave my bow hand relaxed for a few extra seconds and not immediately squeeze the grip after the shot and possibly torque the bow and screw up my shot. I prefer the Loc Outdoorz stiffy. Its semi rigid so it stays out if the way and you don’t even notice it but it easy bends and forms if you want to.
