I have a Primos carry sling that worked great with my Hoyts but the ends of the sling do not fit well over the Halon 6 cams. Any ideas? Cabelas carries a bow sling, but it is not clear to me if it will fit the Halon 6.
I have the Cabelas on my Halon, fits and works great.
Pros and Cons.
Pros. Hand free. Takes the weight off of the hands and arms when hiking. Protects the cams,etc. Can attach it to ones back pack if needed.
Cons. adds some weight. May be hard to take off IF supprised by an elk within shooting range (I never had this happen) One can practice taking it off and on to be quicker if needed.
I used it mostly to access my hunting spots and then hand carried by bow, most of the time or used another hand made sling.
There are other slings out there that may be lighter or give you quicker access to the bow. I have made a few from shoulder straps from carry on baggage and nylon straps with a hook at the end.
I sure you will receive more advice. Paul

A lot of times you have time to remove the sling, but occasionally you don't, and I like having the option of shooting with it in place.
It provides no protection for the cams or strings though, so that may be a drawback for some, but I personally am OK with that trade-off for the sake of speed in readying it for use.
I've never used a sling since the day I had 4 giant mule deer bucks about run me over, then stop 25 yards away and whistle circus music at me while I tried to get my Primos sling off and nock an arrow. It didn't end well for me I've been too traumatized to use one since but this one sounds like an easy off situation.
I have found out that by pulling off the top, using the loup, it comes off easier and faster.
Maybe they did some minor adjustments and made this one better. Paul
Relatively quick to remove, and easy to use. YMMV.
