Post your bow pics!

Thats a nice bow kill there band. Doesn't look like she went very far!

It was perfect.  She was walking toward the bull that was screaming at her to hurry up and catch up with the herd and I took the 46 yard shot.  She stopped when the arrow passed through and cocked her head to the side as if to say "hey, something's not quite right here", and then she started swaying back and forth and stumbled a few steps downhill and it was all over.  I think it took about 10 seconds after the shot before she keeled over.  And then the bull decided the herd could probably do without her and he jogged off.  None of the elk even saw or heard me.

Thanks.  That was the exit wound, by the way.  She was quartering away and the arrow slipped between ribs on both sides which probably caused what may have been a barely perceptible impact.  Had it hit a rib I'm guessing the impact would have startled her and caused her to run on impact.  Lucky placement.

Im noticing lots of bows without wrist straps, whats the deal with that?

I dont feel the need for one while hunting, I think its a huge time waster when trying to get off a shot. It already takes too long with a compound, why make it take longer?  That and the newer bows dont jump at all, they just sit there when shot. A newer shooter could definantly benefit from one though, while learning the correct way to "not grip" a bow, especially if they have an older bow with recoil. Once good fundementals are learned I feel they have more cons than pros for hunting.

Makes sense, I just thought it was something everyone uses. Ive never dropped my bow myself. Maybe Ill take it off for awhile and see how it works out. I cant grip the bow, Its impossible with my mindset. I just always need to make sure I have finger clearance from the broad-heads.

Careful, when shooting down hill at steep angles or from stands I've almost lost mine a couple times but the strap has saved me.

Ive shot for 23 years with a strap..no way I would shoot out of a stand with one..not the time to be thinking or gripping the bow all the sudden.U should never be gripping a bow ..soon as strap is gone and u shoot u begin to try to grasp the bow. same with extreme downhill

I agree with huntnnw and others. I will ever be in the woods with or shoot kryptek bow without a wrist strap... every time I release an arrow y bow falls and is caught by my wrist strap.

I shoot from treestand and on the ground for a decade now.  I don't need the wrist strap.  I tried it at one point but took it off.  It's more of a hassle when you only have a few seconds to take a shot.
