I found a DIY video showing how to make a bow wrist sling. I have been looking for a better one than the cheap looking one I bought (that was all I could find). It looked easy to make and I was looking for something to do, so I bought four different paracord colors, desert digital, red, black and woodlands, 100’ at $6.50 each + shipping.
It was NOT easy at first and took over two hours just to make the first one. My hands were cramping and I was getting frustrated. After many attempts to get the 4 string braid down I was successful. After the braid came the cobra weave, that’s the thick weave over the braid that covers the hand, and what makes the wrist sling look good. That part was easier than the braid. Once I got the whole process down I started mixing the colors to see what color combination I could come up with, I made a red and black one for my friend’s bow and a camo one for me. After making three I started to get faster, around 30 to 40 min each.
Now I need to find some leather and make the leather bracket that holds the wrist sling.
