As many have already stated......buy you a bow rope from Cabelas ro Bass Pro for $6, tie it to you stand and rap the rope around the stand or limb from where you' ll be hunting and make sure that the hook end of the rope is approximately 3-4 feet off the ground. This works great! Going to the stand, you can stap the hook onto your string and let the bow hang. Less noise and you don' t have to worry about anything knocking your bow out of whack.
