US12287171 - Archery bow sling and related method of use
The patent describes an archery bow sling designed to securely hold arrows while being easily removable from the bow, featuring components such as cam covers, an arrowhead hood, and a fletching guard. This sling allows arrows to be carried separately from the bow, maintaining a parallel alignment with the bowstring plane for convenience and accessibility.
