« on: February 26, 2009, 07:50:00 PM »

I may have to try and copy that someday if you don't mind.
You just unsnap it from the limbs to shoot right?

yeah they wrap around the limbs and fasten with press studs. if you make one be sure to sew fabric behind the male part of the press stud after you install them, or they will mark your limbs. also be sure to leave enough strap for adjustment when wearing a pack.

You better get some paperwork going and try to market that... before someone else does. Very nice and creative. I like it a lot. Roll it up, put it in your pocket, and never know it's there. You could call it "The Spare hand". I do get one for naming it right ?. LOL. Seriously, thanks for sharing..

Agreed very nice.   Have you shot the bow with it on?   It looks like you would not need to take it off if you didn't want too.  Sort of like a rifle sling.

I would buy one.  Like Froggy said, I would leave it in my pack and use it or not.  Sometimes you just need an extra hand going into or out of a hunt.

Thanks for posting.

if i had the gear here i would make some for you guys. only thing is you sort of need the bow if you want a nice snug fit on the limbs, unless i was to come up with some way of making that part adjustable. which would be better anyway because it would be a universal fit.
