Abstract
A bow sling for attachment to an archery bow for assisting the archer in carrying and steadying the bow during aiming and firing of an arrow. The bow sling comprises an elongated strap formed of elastomeric material having a pair of legs extending from one end adapted to be attached to the bow's limbs. An adjustable loop is formed adjacent the opposite end of the strap adapted to be received around the archer's bow string pulling shoulder such that the strap extends behind the archer's neck and over the shoulder of the bow holding arm to support the bow in front of the archer in a steadying or carrying position, and the bow sling permits the bow to be conveniently and quickly grasped and raised to a firing position whereby the elasticity of the sling supports the bow against the archer's palm permitting the bow hand to relax during aiming and firing.
