No, that's so you have to use your belt to do that. If you wanna strangle someone, you gotta risk your pants falling down in the process. Fair is fair after all.

I know for a fact that both Jeff and I have dropped trou in combat.

Lost_Nation said:I'm personally against straps on bows. The rules state that no string may be a attached to the bow, and the type of shoulder straps you typically see on bows are basically the same as stringing the rep. On the other hand I can't really thing of a better way of carrying a long bow, except perhaps in the hand.
So there you are, it might be worth clarifying whether "bows are not strung" versus "bows cannot be strung". I see the loose string/rope/leather/what-have-you as a safety issue. The loose cord could easily wrap and entrap a weapon or worse a wrist, ankle, or neck.

But again, I'd still probably pass it.

And whiel a strap is different than a string, it does still have the possibility of catching a stray limb or head and injuring someone...
But it is a fantastically remote possiblity.

For that to happen, the person getting caught in the strap would have to be charging. And charging isn't allowed by the rules. Problem solved.

Not necessarily.
Take, for example, 2 people fighting side-by-side. They are not fighting each other. The person using the bow moves the bow to block an attack at the same time the person fighting next to them steps in that direction.
You do not have to be charging to get accidentally caught up in such a strap.
I have personally witnessed someone getting caught up in an M16 weapon sling during a training exercise. The sling is of similar width and slack as the strap currently being discussed. None of the individuals inivolved did anything wrong, however the soldier in question spent 2 days inthe hospital with difficulty breating from a swollen airway. Freak accident, but it does happen and that should very much be taken into consideration.

You could construct a bow scabbard that hangs on your belts. As far as I know this sort of thing would be more appropriate on the saddle of your step pony, but until I prefect the method for adhering a legal thrusting tip to a horseshoe this is an option.
