ENJOYED your video... ...FYI, I`m pretty sure the knot you so elegantly created is in fact a CLOVE HITCH, NOT a (double) half hitch like you state. KEEP UP THE GREAT VIDEOS! Mark Vogt VOGTLAND OUTDOORS
my loop is 8- 9 inches long. It should have some slack when you are in position to shoot, but not to long that you cant pinch it and control the bow after the shot. Usually when pinched, the loop fits around the grip.
WTF.... In the 1980's, everyone just used a piece of 11 x .5 soft leather with two .5 cuts made in it and the ends were fed thru to form 2 loops. There are YT video's on them. Once on, you really only had to worry about place a loop over one finger, it would just hang from the other when not needed.
I’m using this one since a month and quite happy with. Still a bit slower but more stable. Thanks for that little gem.
Late to the party but I found this very useful, my new way to tie my sling.

You are probably right. Its been about 40 years since i was in boy scouts and knew my knot names.
Different. Thank you.
How long should the finger sling be?

you are welcome to use other methods. Before the 1970s, they didnt even use finger slings.
Isn’t this the “cat and cradle” but a longer process to get there?
no, not even related to cat and cradle. This bow sling method is a clove hitch on each finger.
