Any of y'all use one? I noticed a couple of really good shooters this weekend had wrist slings on their recurves. (I think they were home made - not the kind that screw into a stabilizer insert.) Almost all barebow/olympic target archers use a wrist sling - or more commonly a finger sling. It got me thinking about how I always used a wrist sling in my compound days because it allowed me to shoot with a relaxed open hand. Any of y'all try this on a recurve? If it significantly improved my shooting by eliminating torqueing the bow hand, it might be worth the PIA of taking off/putting on between shots.

Wrist or finger slings on a recurve?

I don't like finger slings. It's like wearing chinese handcuffs. LOL
I much prefer a wrist sling, but I only use it for training, or refresher training when my grip has gone south.
It really don't take a lot to hold a bow. A loose thumb & forefinger will do the trick just fine, and if you're doing it that way you won't need a sling, you won't torque the bow, and you won't drop it.
