I buy a screw in tool hanger thing at hardware store. Good enough for me.

What do you use on to hold your bow?  I hunt mainly public land so I cant screw anything into the trees.

Thinking of getting the third hand tree stand bow rest.  Any other ideas or input on this one?

I have one of those on one of my stands.. I'm not really a fan. I usually use one of those folding screw in bow holders like this...

It’s an offering to the hunting Gods, without one I’d never get a deer ! Yesterday I swapped cards and moved one ladderstand . I put my Maui Jim  sunglasses on my cap/ forehead , when I got to the truck no sunglasses . I figured I lost them between the truck and stand, so I back tracked ,and found them at the base of the tree I dropped the stand from .

IDK they were $250 so that’s a pretty good offering , I may have got a B&C this year had I not found them !

That's a good way of looking at it.. I have bow hangers all over the woods 20-30' in the air that I either meant to go back to, forgot, or was just to lazy to trek back  with a stand..

Maybe I will have to up my game .Leaving something  more valuable..lol

Lol. I dropped the ladder ,looked up and there was a bow hook , up,in the tree . I also had to cut the ratchet strap as it was to tight and rusted to loosen .

Probably the most expensive thing I lost. But luckily found it later was my $1000 phone. . I took it out and checked the time. Yeap ,4:45, plenty of time..   Somehow it didn't go into a s3cure pocket and it wasn't there when I got to my spot.  You know how difficult it is to backtrack yourself a mile, in  an area you've never been before. I think it was more luck than skill that I found it..

I guess I never chimed in with my preferred way of securing my bow (and sometimes my gun) in a tree stand.  This may not be relevant to the theme of this thread but I love the Realtree EZ Hanger, the 23" is my favorite.

I would love to use one of those but not legal on stateland.  I have one for the only small piece of private I hunt or i just bring a screw in step. However they have a bunch of valuable trees so if I'm in one I hold my bow.  Not giving any chance to ruin the timber on someone else land.
