A bracket for use with an archery bow, comprising:
- a main body having:
- a length extending along a longitudinal axis between a first end and a second end,
- a first throughbore and a second throughbore, positioned transverse to the axis, through which a first portion and a second portion of a sling, respectively, can be positioned,
- first passageway intersecting the first throughbore and a second passageway intersecting the second throughbore, and
- a first securing element and a second securing element each including a shaft portion and a handle portion, each shaft portion being positionable through the first and second passageways within at least a portion of the first and second throughbores, respectively, and each handle portion having a diameter larger than a diameter of the particular passageway, wherein each securing element is adjustable to releasably secure the first and second portions of the sling, wherein the first and second securing elements are adjusted via the handle portion to releasably secure the sling portions without the use of a tool.

- connecting a bracket to the bow, the bracket comprising a main body having a length extending between a first end and a second end, the first and second ends having a main body diameter and shape a first throughbore through which a first portion of the sling can be positioned, a second throughbore through which a second portion of the sling can be positioned, a first securing element in communication with at least a portion of the first throughbore, and a second securing element in communication with at least a portion of the second throughbore, each of the first and second securing elements including a shaft portion and a handle portion, the shaft portion being positioned at least partially into one of the throughbores to releasably secure one of the sling portions, and the handle portion having a diameter and shape substantially equal to the main body diameter and shape such that the securing elements are hand-adjustable;
- positioning the sling through the first and second throughbores;
- hand-adjusting the first and second securing elements to releasably secure the first and second portions of the sling within the respective first and second throughbores;
- using the bow to fire an arrow to determine whether the sling is in a desired position;
- hand-adjusting one of the first and second securing elements to release one of the first and second portions of the sling;
- re-positioning the sling through one of the first and second throughbores such that a third portion of the sling is positioned within the one of the first and second throughbroes;
- and
- hand-adjusting the one of the first and second securing elements to releasably secure the third portion of the sling within the one of the first and second throughbores.
