Carrying your bow

Question how many of you guys carry your bow by the strings? I never do but see it done all the time. Does it compromise the strings at all? Just curious on thoughts on this.
 
This last year I actually started carrying by the grip, but backwards. So the stabilizer is facing me. Then I rest the stabilizer on the waist strap of my pack. Now 2/3 of the weight of the bow is being supported by my pack/waist. Now it doesn't matter which hand it's in, because there is no chance either arm gets tired. Can carry it all day like that.
 
When stalking, I used to carry it by the strings. Never noticed any detrimental effect. Nowadays though I carry it by the stabilizer (mine can fold which effectively turns it into a handle).
 
You Boys Are All Doing It Very Wrong!

Last Year On San Juan There Was A Guy On A 2 Wheeled MotorBike!

He Had A Bow With A Nocked Arrow In One Hand & Driving With His Other Hand!

I Didn't Think It Was Possible & He Was Standing Up As Well!

Looked Like A Tragedy Just Waiting To Happen To Me!

When I First Seen Him Riding Towards Me It Took Me A Minute To Figure Out WTH I Was Seeing!

Cut him some slack, he probably spent the summer watching Dances With Wolves and figured if the natives could do it on the back of a running horse, he would be fine on a metal horse.
