    Made me a custom one point bow sling yesterday. Thinking of selling them. Let me know what you think.

    To be honest,that sling wouldn't be for me. I wouldn't care for the single point of contact. I think it would move more than I would like. I also would not care for it in front of me and horizontal. I would have to be too concerned with brush grabbing the bow on the sides.

    Now that's just me...

    Other than that it is great! :D

    I agree with Tony. Areas I hunt are too thick, it would just be in my way.

    Not sure I would be comfortable with it attached to my D-loop like that. Couple times getting caught in brush and stuff and I would be worried about D-loop failure at moment of truth. It looks very nice tho, I'll give ya that :)

    Yea it looks cool, but I agree with the other guys. You should give it a field test and then see what type of modifications you would need. Like Rknierim said, I would totally be worried about the whole D loop as the latching point, but I think you might be on to something.

    I have been thinking about that too. Maybe attach it to the wrist sling or adding some paracord to the riser and attach there. I agree on using the d-loop for an anchor point. Ill let you know. I did a custome wrist sling for my bow so maybe I can make it with a loop in the middle of the wrist sling to anchor the bow sling too.
