I went out the other day when the wind was kicking fierce in the evening. Found a great spot, great tree. Set up my climber and realized I forgot my bow line to haul up my bow. I've tried slinging it over my shoulder before, but quickly learned that didn't work.
I carry a large ****** on my vest to hold some emergency rope. So I used it to loop around my bowstring to the bottom of my climber. Seemed like an easy solution. Well I got all set in, saftey harness hooked up and retrieved my bow from under the stand. The movement from climbing dislodged my peep site. I use a no tube vertical peep where the string is split 4 ways. The peep was still there but two of the string splits had dislodged and so it was a FUBAR situation. Even with a string splitter these types of peeps are almost impossible to put back right without a limb compressor. I was done.
Does anybody make a bow sling to carry a bow on your back instead of a haul line? I did a little looking on Google and could not find one.
I WILL invent one if they do not exist. Seems like a no brainer to me. I'm a new hunter, second season, but a whiz at fabricating and improving equipment.
This will not happen again. My haul line is in my vest.But I'd rather have a good bow sling.
Thoughts? Comments? and trashing me are all welcome.
