What the AI looks for in Archery Bow Slings
- Sling type
- Wrist and finger slings are for shooting with a relaxed bow hand. Carry slings are for transporting the bow. Shoppers often buy the wrong type because both are listed as bow slings.
- Adjustability
- A wrist sling should allow the bow to fall only slightly forward before the sling catches it. Too loose and the bow drops. Too tight and you grip the bow, which ruins accuracy.
- Attachment point
- Check that the sling mounts at the stabilizer bushing or on the riser without blocking accessories. Some slings conflict with stabilizer mounts or quick-disconnects.
- Material
- Use quiet, non-stretch webbing or paracord for hunting. Stretchy or noisy slings let the bow drop further and can spook game.
Brands that matter
- Allen Company: Budget carry and wrist slings.
- Easton: Sells archery accessories, including slings, aimed at target shooters.
What to avoid
- Elastic wrist slings that stretch over time
- Carry slings with exposed metal clips that clank against the riser
Questions
Do I need a wrist sling?
Yes, if you shoot with an open hand, which most coaches teach. Without one, the bow can fall after the shot.
