Using slings?

How many of you guys use slings to carry your bows in and out of the woods? Do they interfere with your quivers? Are they any different than a rifle sling? In other words could you just use a rifle sling or are they shorter etc...? Sorry for all the questions, but I don't have any place to go look at them and check them out.

I have and use the Excalibur sling. It does not interfere with my quiver as I use either a hip quiver or a Dan Miller over the limbs quiver.
The excal quiver is padded, wider than a rifle sling and is confotable walking into the woods.

I use my padded Remington rifle sling on my crossbow.

I use a nylon rifle sling. The Dan Miller quiver bracket keeps arrows out of the way.

I use a padded cammo rifle sling.Keep my quiver in my back pack which opens from the top. PERFECT.

Sidekick, I also use the Excalibur sling, but gets in the way of my quiver that runs along the rail. I'll soon be ordering a Dan Miller quiver.

I was in Pendleton Oregon last month visiting my son. I was planning on going over this fall to elk hunt with him but I went to the district office there and they told me that I could not use a crossbow there even though have a bad shoulder and can not use a compound bow. Do you have any knowledge on crossbow use in Oregon.

Dan sells the mount to put your quiver on, your Excal quiver will fit as will the Bohning quivers.

Unfortunately it's true. I'm from Eagle Point, Oregon and a xbow is not considered a legal hunting weapon for anything...disabled or not. I sold all my vert. bow stuff this year because I was no longer able to use it. However, I'm very excited about hunting in other states that do allow xbow use for disabled hunters. I just hope Oregon comes to their senses soon. Send me a pm if you'd like more info.

Sorry about your elk hunt. That NE Oregon area is great. I lived in Enterprise as a kid and hunt in Ukiah now. Awesome country!!

Dale, I checked out your website. Very nice. Looks like I'll be spending some time checking it out. Do you have any good sites I should check out about xbow hunting in Wyoming?

I agree with Bait Pile Willie. The set up works great.
