OK, Questions For Pop Up Blind Hunters

[DirtTime]

I just got the two I ordered today. Set them up and checked clearance for drawing and shooting my bow, that's all great.

I have no choice but to try using them on a day to day set up this season, so this question came to mind.

Where do I hang my bow in these things?

Only hunted turkeys from ours . Could you put up a simple S hook off support rod over head and hang it ? Turkey thumpers don't leave our laps.

I usually just rest mine in my lap or lean it against my chair or a wall. They hide your movement so you can get away with a lot when hidden in those things. Some of them you can hang an S hook from the roof but I think that would cause the whole thing to jump up and down when you shift the weight so I never went that route.

I have the kick stand that locks on my limbs. It's pretty awesome piece of gear.

In mine I am able to just lean the bow in  the corner of the blind

                    I have 2 cabelas extremes and a couple amersteps they all came with a piece of nylon with metal rod with hook on it hanging from center of roof. It was labeled bow hanger. I do not bow hunt so I cut them out. Only pop ups I have ever used so didn't  know all didn't  have them.

New blind for me this year, so I'm in market for similar hanger. NO, not all blinds have the built-in bow hanger! Somewhere I came across a gizmo that attaches to the roof struts of a blind for hanging a bow. Look around the web... Also have seen tripod or freestanding bow holders, you simply rest a bow/xbow against. IDK, but looked sort of unstable,!?! Haven't actually purchased anything yet, but inclined to buy one that pushes into the ground.

I have one of those and could never get it to hold my bow . It would always tip . Even put it on a 2x6 and it would tip over .

Thanks for the replies. If I have to hang it I think I will just get a y stick and poke that in the ground.

I usually lean my bow against my pack. Long stabilizer helps hold it up too. Something like this

Saw this while looking for an ATV picture holding a bow . Looks like something that would be easy to make . You have to make sure it won't slide down the roof support .

This is the kickstand I was talking about. Works awesome. And was like 10$ I leave 1 in every one of my blinds.

Interesting...  What is it called and does it stay on the bow when you shoot or what?

[Buckmaster7600]

It's called a kickstand and yes stays on when you shoot.

That I could deal with. Can't add more then maybe an ounce to the weight of the bow, so shouldn't screw with the tuning of the bow.
