I made a leather sling for my longbow. It's one continuous 1/4 inch wide strap that attaches to the top horn with a little sheath/cover to protect the tip, and then loops around behind the small of my back and over to the front of my chest and pins onto itself. I added a piece of leather cord that goes from the top end behind my neck and down to the hip to keep it from sliding off the shoulder while running though. Super hard to explain but it's an extremely simple project, it's just one long strap with a tip protector, a little belt keeper with a snap, and an attached piece of cord on the top half.
Good review. Years ago, I had a bow like your orange one. Good bow. I carry my quiver Plains Indian style, with the quiver on front and arrows (fletching end) pointed to the right. There are plenty of ways to hang the bow from it. I use an asiatic style "horse" bow. I have yet to engage in a sword fight carrying a quiver on the front so that may be a problem.
excellent that you have quiver on back, when i did viking reenactment my arrows were 24", much shorter than otehr peopels arrows as i had a short bow, i found drawing from nack quiver easy, and i could run no problem at all, and my shooting rate was much higher than the longbows, especially people that had large cylinger belt quivers...they were bulky and you couldnt run with those....excellent video
That was a pretty cool video and very informative. I was going to suggest you hit Shad up and show him this video because he seems to have trouble carrying a bow. The quiver method that you use keeps the bow away from the sword as well. I think if I ever start carrying a bow, I'd use your quiver wrap around method. That seems to be most effective. Thanks for the tips.
Now if only we had more young people like you with that kinda passion for this most magnificent obsession we call Archery, well I’m pretty sure In saying that you all ready no that the world would be better place’ just came across your video here for the 1st time’ you doing a good job by showing how much fun and excitement that a sting and a string can bring to one’s life’ im still trying ta figure out if the Bow saved my life’ or made my Life, lol’ probably uh little of both, well it is my Religion after all , what ever the hell that mite mean in this day and age’ keep the videos coming, and shooting 🏹
My personal favorite is a variation of the nail catch, by using it on the back quiver itself at the top, instead of on a second separate strap/ belt. My quiver has a notch in the pvc so the bow is always at the same place, and doesn't twist around to mess with the fletching of my arrows. A hanging loop would also work for a place to hang the nail from. On with the rest of the video!
@@AnachronisticArmory569 for small people like you (or something I find interesting, also like your videos) I do like stoking the algorithm... so: FOR THE ALGORITHM!!!
Can't you combine the string/sling carries (both ways that you showed) with a back quiver if you use a longer string, so that it can go over the back quiver? Or does it still hinder you then?
That's what all bows are, a form of slingshot..... Henceforth slinging arrows..... I watched your shooting style, at release you sling your bow forward........ No difference........
@@Lordinvdious I can see that. But the compound doesn't flex when pulled. And you don't often unstring a compound often. I can see the pros. But in my line of expertise, I just have too many cons
Ehhhh, yes it does. I have been shooting sense I was 15. I'm now in my 50's. I have shot everything from Darton to Mathews, and I can tell you those bows do have a flex and they aren't as static as you think. I don't disparage traditional bows or those who shot them. I love archery all around it doesn't matter if it is vertical or horizontal....... We need to support each other......
@@Lordinvdiousthat's a hinge retard. have you ever unstrung it in all those years? are you retarded? are you special needs? these are real questions. i hope you have the common sense to understand no part of your bow is flexing to contribute to thrust. i am seriously concerned for your retarded ass functioning as a human being in society.
I do the quiver carry myself. It quick, secure and does not need extra stuff attached to the bow.
Nice to see someone else do it
thx for your video
You're very welcome!
i prefer to wear bows in my hair but on your back is cool too
Intriguing
Ha!

Very interesting! I shall have to give it a go some time!
your way is elegant and effective. one slight drawback is it stops working once you have run out of arrows.
Good Point!
ALL projectile weapons will exhaust it's ammo supply.
@@terrysmith4831 i don't know what point you THINK you are making.... but maybe you should watch the video again.

Thank you!!! Part of the goal of the video (other than to be informative) I must confess, was to get Shad's Attention.

@@jmoneyjoshkinion4576 much appreciated!
Yoooo more living anachronism??? Hell yeah!!!!
One of my biggest inspirations, and a life goal to be like him
do you have a set ancher point where you draw too? and do you get to full draw or what is your draw length?
I do get to full draw! Not as often now cause I am working on speed shooting. But my full draw is 29-30 inches.
@@AnachronisticArmory569 fair enough, was that thumb draw or Slavic? And good for you speed shooting is good fun
@@michaelpeters6659 I prefer Slavic but am currently in the process of making a ring for thumb draw!
The intro reminds me “Jason and the argonauts” movie
That was the goal! Glad you got the reference!

Interesting! I didn't think of that! I'll give it a go!
Feel free to drop a comment!
Compound bows are good bows.
I have been shooting them for nearly all my life.....
You want a powerful traditional bow, try the Mongolian .....
A Compound bow is honestly more of a sling shot than a bow
That's what all bows are, a form of slingshot.....
Henceforth slinging arrows.....
I watched your shooting style, at release you sling your bow forward........
No difference........
