Everything you need to know before you buy, install, and hunt with the Vsling® bow sling, crossbow sling, and bino sling.
About the Vsling®
What is the Vsling® Bow Sling?
+
The Vsling® is a 100% elastic, patent-pending bow sling made in Hector, Minnesota USA. It keeps your compound bow comfortably snug to your body for hands-free carry and stays on the bow during the shot. Unlike traditional slings that hang loose, slap, snag, and must be removed before drawing, the Vsling® lets you transition from carry to full draw in seconds without ever taking it off.
Does the Vsling® get in the way during the shot?
+
No. The design keeps the sling snug to your bow and completely clear of the arrow path during the shot. You draw, aim, and shoot. The Vsling® is not a factor — from a treestand, the ground, or any angle.
Do I need to remove the Vsling® before I shoot?
+
Never. That is the entire point. The Vsling® is designed so you never have to take it off when it is time to shoot — less movement, less noise, no wasted seconds. No interference: stays clear of your sight, rest, and bow string. Always ready: go from carry to full draw instantly. Silent and secure: no clanking buckles or straps when the moment comes.
Is the Vsling® comfortable to wear all day?
+
Yes. The 100% elastic construction keeps your bow comfortably snug without digging in or creating pressure points. Think of it like a baby carrier for your bow — balanced, comfortable, and freeing your hands for glassing, climbing, and calling. Pair it with the Vsling® Bino Sling for the same hands-free carry on your binoculars.
What makes the Vsling® different from a traditional bow sling?
+
Traditional bow slings hang loose, bounce against your body, slap branches, and have to be removed before you shoot. The Vsling® holds your bow tight to your body using 100% elastic material that moves with you silently. No removal before the shot. Transitions from carry to shoot in seconds.

Is the Vsling® patented?
+
Yes, The Vsling® is patent pending.

Will the Vsling® fit my gun or crossbow?
+
Yes. The Vsling® will attach to any gun or crossbow with two swivel studs. The Vsling® Crossbow/Gun Edition is built from the same 100% elastic material and ships with two loose key rings for a custom install on any setup.
Will the Vsling® work with a bow-mounted quiver?
+
Yes. The Vsling® sits clear of standard bow-mounted quivers and does not interfere with arrow clearance.
Does Vsling make a bino sling?
+
Yes. The Vsling® Bino Sling uses the same 100% elastic system for hands-free binocular carry — steady, quiet, and comfortable while you glass. Shop the Vsling® Bino Sling at vslingarchery.com/products/vsling-bino-sling.
Will the Vsling® Bino Sling keep my binoculars tight to my chest without restricting use?
+
Yes. The Vsling® Bino Sling uses 100% elastic tension to keep your optics snug, stable, and quiet against your chest while still allowing full range of motion. You can glass instantly without straps tangling or pulling tight.
Does the Vsling® Bino Sling work with any size binoculars?
+
Absolutely. The design is a universal fit, stretching to any bino size. Whether you are running compact 8x32s, the most common 10x42s, or even big 12x50s, the Vsling® adapts and stays comfortable all day.
Installation
How do I install the Vsling® Bow Sling?
+
Loop the sling through your bow's existing sling attachment points, run it through itself to create the carry loop, then tie a snug double knot. Adjust until you reach your preferred fit, re-snug the knot, and you are ready to go. Full installation video at @VslingArchery on YouTube. Takes under two minutes.
Do I need any tools to install the Vsling®?
+
No tools required. Installs entirely by hand.
How tight should I set the Vsling®?
+
Set the tension so the bow sits snugly against your body during carry — close enough that it does not swing or bounce, but not so tight it digs in. Tie snug — not cranked down — Vsling® elastic does the work.
Why knots, not clips?
+
The Vsling® is built with purpose: no clips, no noise, no failure points. Here is why the double knot is the smarter choice for serious hunters.
Reliable — Knots do not freeze, squeak, or clap like clips.
Universal — Fits every riser and bow cutout perfectly.
Silent — Zero rattle, zero metal-on-metal noise.
Field-proven — Adjust or re-tie anywhere, anytime.
Quick tips
Tie snug — Not cranked down — Vsling® elastic does the work.
To loosen — Work the double knot out gently — do not pick at it.
Pro hack — A pair of needle-nose pliers makes loosening an over-tight knot quick and easy. Set it once and forget it — Vsling® stays locked until you want it loose.
Hunting With the Vsling®
Can I use the Vsling® when climbing a treestand?
+
Yes. The Vsling® keeps your bow secure and snug to your body with both hands completely free for climbing. No dangling bow, no extra noise on the way up.
Is the Vsling® good for turkey hunting?
+
Absolutely. The Vsling® stays on for the shot, allowing a smooth silent transition from carry to full draw the instant a bird steps into range — no last-second unclipping or movement.
Is the Vsling® quiet in the field?
+
Yes. The 100% elastic design eliminates the slapping, snagging, and bouncing that makes traditional slings noisy. Set it and forget it.
Does the Vsling® have a warranty?
+
Yes — every Vsling® comes with a 1-year warranty. Email sam@vslingarchery.com if anything is not right.
Will it work with a backpack?
+
100% — Vsling® is built to adapt. Backpack, layers, whatever. Carry better. Shoot without removing it.
Will the Vsling® help increase accuracy?
+
Yes, it can. A fresher bow arm and steadier muscles can lead to more consistent shooting when the moment of truth arrives.
