Has anyone attempted to make their own bowsling? Be it out of paracord or webbing or anything else. Just something to help carry my bow into the woods.
Just thought I would ask before I attempt to make one myself.
 
I did. Cobra weave and tie ends to riser. Added a loop in the center to secure to wheel of sight to keep it out of the way when shooting. Simple but works for me. I saw something similar but has magnet instead of loop material.
 
I built something basically the same as @Olegrad. It got stolen with my last bow and I haven't built a new one. It worked well though.
 
I did the cobra weave too but I made leather pouches for the ends of my bows (recurves and longbow) and this way I can shoot the bow with the sling still on the bow!
 
I made one out of 1" webbing with loops on the ends that slip over the cams. Worked well.

I did one out of paracord and the ends were just cheap plastic buckles from Walmart. It looked really nice, but I didn't much like it as it was too loose and flopped around while waking. I decided I like to carry the bow better.
 
I made a couple of slings with 1” webbing and plastic buckles from REI. Works great

These Stalker bow slings are super cheap and easy to make with cobra weave Menards rope and short bungee cord. Can also get from Lethal for like $30. Best I've used. Slides off super easy to shoot

This looks interesting, what is used to tighten the rope on the cams?

It's just a loop over the cams. The bungee cord in the middle pulls the loops inward to help secure it. Also has a round slide to tighten the loop. I can snap a couple better pics when I get home tonight. I've made them without the slides or the bungee and it holds just fine tho with my Elite Hunter.

Gotcha, I think I understand now. Might have to try it before Turkey season.
