Interesting Clinton. Would it still work as well if you have your day pack etc on?

Re: made a bow sling
yeah i made the strap to have enough adjustment to go over a pack. works great that way too. how many have you wanted to have two free hands on the walk in or out?

I say old chap, rather detrimental to the employment prospects for native bearers what? One has a duty!
Rather like the 'hands in pocket' style, would come in very 'handy' for strategic finger warming on cold Canadian mornings.

Hi Clinton, I had one when I was hunting with compound, we often walked 10K's per day so it was a godsend on the pack march back to the vehicle. I imagine the T/D weighs a bit so it is worth having in your pack.
Nice bow by the way . Steve
