Bow holders

[fasteddie]

I like to use a bow holder when in a tree stand . With my short legs , it's hard to sit with a bow across my legs . I always liked the holder that clamps to the ladder stand rail but hate to put them on and remove them after each hunt . I made the error of buying the ones that bolt to a stand platform and figured I had made a big mistake . So when I went out Wednesday I took some longer bolts and attached the holder on the rail of the ladder stand . It worked great and had the bow about 1 1/2" farther away from the rail than the ones designed for the rails .

I will do the same thing with the other bow holders that I have . Glad I didn't return them to Dicks !

I use the realtree bow hanger. It works pretty well and easy to unscrew from the tree.

I use the tree arms as well.

i jsut use a simple ladder hanger for the garage. Not the ones that are curved into a semi circle but the ones that have a 3-4 inch straight piece one them between the screw and the part that acts as a "catch" to holds the "ladder" from slipping off the end. I dont buy the expensive ones from home depot though. i usually try to find the ones from the discount stores that way i/we have them in every stand that we have on the property with out spending hardly any money. i usually leave them in the tree for a couple of seasons them i will replace them becasue the rubber coating starts to fall of and i dont want to scratch my baby. simple, cheap, and lasts for quite a while. would last a lot longer if i took them out after every season

I have a bow hanger similar to the one pictured above . It comes with 3 brackets so you can leave the bracket on a tree and carry the arm in a backpack . I didn't care for it because the bow would move with a breeze . The ladder stand holders require minimal movement to grab the bow .

Tractor Supply carries a smaller version of the ladder hangers that come in a pack of 4 . I might give that a try at one of the stands but need to paint it as they are shiny . Good idea and they are inexpensive .

I dont mind the bow moving in a breeze. The tree limbs are moving as well.

Eddie, do you know what brand one you use?

[fasteddie]

The brand is HME . I bought some at Dick's for $9.99 . They are now $12.99 and have been modified . See pics below . The one with the 2 clamps is the newer one .

I use the three arm screw in as well and like it. I screw it in as high as I can when in am set in my climber to keep it out of my way. I used to just use a hook from home depot. It's real purpose is a bath towel holder that slides on the top of the door. It fit perfectly on one of the side bars of my climber and after a little camo tape, you couldnt even see the lovely pink floral design..lol.
