Wildman Bow Carrier
A Deluxe Bow Carrier from Martin Archery
The Wildman Compound Bow Carrier is the absolute latest in pack design from Martin Archery. This new bow carrier not only secures your bow and makes transporting comfortable and easy, but it has four spacious pockets built into the end sections that will accommodate everything from your spare broadheads to your lunch. There is enough room in these pockets for everything you need on an average day trip, so the Wildman carrier can substitute for your day pack. This cuts down on the total weight you carry plus affords the added protection for your compound.
The two end sections of the Wildman Bow Carrier completely enclose and protect the tips and cams of your bow while the centre section keeps your string and cables out of the weather. Your bow is secured by two adjustable bungee cords that keep it safely locked in the carrier until you need it. Your bow can not accidentally fall out yet quick tug on the cords will release the bow for instant action when that ten-pointer unexpectedly steps onto the track in front of you.
The centre section of the Wildman is attached to the cam protectors by sturdy strips of Velcro so the length of the carrier is completely adjustable so it will fit any bow from the short tree-stand bows to the longer compounds favoured by finger shooters. All up, this is the finest compound bow carrier you will find anywhere.

Primos Bow Sling
A Basic Bow Sling Without Pockets
If you like the idea of the Wildman Bow Carrier, listed above, but don't really need all those pockets, then the Primos Bow sling is just the ticket for you. This new and improved compound bow carrier from Primos locks onto the cams of your bow with reinforced bungee-cord style straps that hold your bow securely while you crash through the thickest bush but releases in an instant when the opportunity for a quick shot presents itself.
If you have used one of the older versions of this sling, you will immediately notice that the padded cups that slip over your cams or idler have been upgraded with thicker padding and a much better bungee-cord cup lock. The cup snaps securely over the cams and the fabric cover between the cams is held in place with quick-release snaps so that your string and cables get the same protection as the cams.
The Primos Bow Sling makes that long tramp into your favourite hunting block a piece of cake and even a climb to the tops after thar or chamois will be much easier with a proper sling that allows your hands to be free for climbing or using your range finder or binoculars. This one will fit any compound bow that is between 40-inches and 30-inches long and comes equipped with a sturdy shoulder strap that is fully adjustable to your individual circumstances.

Tarantula Bow Hook
One of the problems common to all archery disciplines including target archery, bowhunting, 3D shooting and field archery is where to put your bow when you are doing tasks that require the use of both hands. Pulling arrows from a target, glassing a distant hillside, or ranging a target with a rangefinder are just a few of the chores that require you to put your bow on the ground or lean it precariously against a tree. Not the greatest way to treat an expensive piece of gear that you are depending on to deliver the trophies.
The answer is the Bow Hook from Tarantula. This dandy device straps to your belt, quiver or pack and provides a means of safely carrying your bow hands-free without having to rig it into a sling. To use the Bow Hook simply drop the grip of your bow into the hook and go to work on with whatever two-handed task you are involved in. When you are finished, just pick your bow out of the hook and carry on hunting or shooting.
The Bow Hook is made from spring steel covered with heavy-duty cordura fabric to protect the finish on your bow grip. The strap on the back has a snap fastener so that the hook can be easily attached to your belt, quiver, or pack with a minimum of effort.

QUICK TIPS
Don't Use Your Rifle Sling as a Bow Sling
We see a lot of fascinating things here at NZAP and one of the most amazing was the recent case of a intrepid pig hunter who had trekked for many hours into his favourite pig hunting area with his bow slung over his shoulder on a rifle sling. The sling was fitted with snap swivels so he simply snapped these onto the cams of his compound bow and off he went. Half way to his destination, he came across a young boar rooting away at the edge of a small clearing. Thinking fast, he dropped his pack, unlimbered his sling, unclipped the snaps, and drew his bow. Needless to say, all this activity was too much for the pig and he was gone with a squeal and flash of what would have been very tasty hams. Our disappointed hunter let down slowly while he watched his tea disappear into the gorse, then noticed an unfamiliar clanking noise coming from the area of his bottom cam. Imagine his surprise when he discovered that in his haste for some tasty wild pork, he had neglected to unsnap the lower swivel of the rifle sling. When he let down, the sling became securely unsnarled in both the string and cable, effectively ending any further bowhunting for that day.
Fortunately for this lad, there was no serious damage to his bow and we had him back in action with a few laughs little work on the bow press. Others haven't been as lucky. We have had two cases of cams being irretrievably bent from the strain of being carried by rifle slings attached to them. The message is clear: if you must use a rifle sling to carry your bow, don't even think about attaching it to the cams. Attach it to the limbs with stout cord or a strong strap. It might look a little weird, but at least your bow won't end up in the repair shop and you won't end up with an embarrassing story being blabbed to every bowhunter in the South Pacific who reads these Quick Tips.
