Trap made me a custom one a few months ago. I get compliments quite often about it and it is a really nice sling.

I may get another one made from him right away here in a different color pattern if he wants to make me another one.

I also give two thumbs up to Trap's work...

I get compliments on it as well and I have told tons of people what it's for and they think it is a great idea.

Trap even delivered it out to me...top notch in my books.

Oddly enough, I did happen to see a bunch sold at the gas station just outside Cow lake last weekend...in 'girlie' colours. So I got the girls and the GF one. Pinks and purples.

I've made a few for my own personal bows. These two were some I just sold that did not match my new Mathews.

Here is the sling that just arrived, made by trapshooter, thanks again!
I am getting flo green strings with black serving, and a flo green string stopper I think it will look great when she is all done, still trying to find someone to paint the red draw length adjustment on the cam flo green too

I also make just about anything out of parachute cord. If anyone is interested in something drop me a PM. I have pretty much any color and camo you can think of in stock. Thank you.
One I made for the wife's Diamond Razor Edge, and another on my Diamond Stud

Dont use one huh...yer missing out!!

The bow wrist sling used right is hands down the cheapest accessorie on a bow to improve accuracy threefold...

used right it totally eliminates bow torque...A huge issue with a large ammount of shooters

My bracelet is one of the main reasons I shoot two Triple hoods with hunter class bows...

Neil - What would be an example of using it right vs using it wrong? Should the sling be a certain tightness or looseness?
Thanks

Zulu...The wrist strap is very loose ..hand should slide in and out easy and more importantly ...loose when drawn...if it is tight that just eliminates its purpose...the bow hand at full draw is limp...and stays limp thru the shot and follow thru..the bow is then grabbed after arrow hits target at 20 yards..practice exagerated long follow thrus...

the sling eliminates dropping bow or bow jumping out of hand ...older bows were famos for that ...hand shock...

the sling will totally eliminate hand torque on bow...and improve accurcy...

we have shooters come in and say their bow sucks with a six inch group at twenty...we install asling for under $20.00 teach them how to hold the bow as below and many have hooded in the third forth group...groups are very tight..."Loonie tight" [size of our dollar lol ]

olimpic archers hold their bow as below...I teach shooters to relax hand and tuck two smallest fingers against the grip lightly that gives them the 45 degree angle of nuckles and stability while hunting...

They really do work...




Neil
