Asked over in archery too, figure this might be good too:

How do folks best do it with a compound bow.
I've got two pack choices, a KU 5200 with a grab it


or a Dana Design Terraplane or Astralplane.


Thinking of walking in and having it on my pack in the dark or pre hunting, when hunting, hope to have it in my hands the whole time.

I bought one of these, http://www.cabelas.com/product/Cabelas-Bow-Carrier-Sling/1587543.uts?searchPath=%2Fbrowse.cmd%3FcategoryId%3D734095080%26CQ_search%3Dbow%2Bsling

but not sure if it's the best way to carry it in.

Thanks for any help or tips for my first archery backpack hunt
