Bow Carry Options

[dmj]

As the years have gone by getting around in the mountains has become a little more difficult. I have found that using trekking poles helps considerable. I can strap the bow to my backpack and this works great for carrying but not so great when you want the bow in a hurry. Are there any ideas for carrying your bow that allows for somewhat quick access when hiking and you are using your trekking poles. Thank you

I have seen (not used) bow slings that carry it across your chest

It may not fit what you're looking for but I use something similar to this. It's an over the shoulder carry and the top fastener clip can be unclipped in a second to allow for knocking an arrow and shooting. There are a number of companies who make this style sling.

I have a sling. I wouldn't recommend it for what you're looking to do.
I only use it to protect the string, as I don't like spending $100 every season and have to retune all my stuff.

Slick sling. Makes awesome rifle slings. He also makes a bow sling I'd be willing to try. You can find the bow sling Here.

When I really need poles, I just go with one. Having a big bow slung on with a pack too is a PITA.

That's kinda been my answer also. When I'm actually hunting I carry the bow in one hand and just use one pole and put the second one in my pack. Then when I'm traveling and not really expecting to see anything I put the bow on my pack and use both poles. Thank you everyone for your suggestions I will investigate them. Thank you
