i was looking in to geting a bow holder this season,,i though about the ones u mount on the stand,but i am planing to stand most of the time and this would be hard to bent down to pick up bow with deer coming,,so i figure my best bet would be the arm holders like u see on tv,,but the only problem it that i would have to find one that uses a strap to mount it to the tree cause the people we hunt on dont want use to screw things into their trees,,does any one have any idea about where to find one,,or maybe even a way to make one

All of the ones I am familiar with actually screw into the tree. However, in the "cheap suggestions" thread I mentioned wrapping a little electrical tape around a strap on tree step to use as a bow, pack or binocular holder. Maybe that would work to some extent for you.

do what i did use a strap on tree step from wal mart there about 3 bucks each get plenty after they start to clear them out at 2 bucks there real handy put a little tape on it so its quiet but they work good

i though of this ,,especally cause i seen on hear where a guy used a screw in step to help with tree stand installation i thought of getting one and trying it with that and also cause the climbing sticks i have only have a rung on one side thought of get one to put across from one rung so i could step out of the stand with either leg,,cause it gets kinda spooky trying to step over the support cable and geting to that one stepp,,,any nough of that,,said that for no reason oh well,,anyways i went to local walmart and they did not have any,,an i dont thing that are local rural king does either,,unfortunely cause i could get a discont from there

I have several swing away style bow holders(made by gorilla) after hunting withone for several seasons, i wouldn't like to hunt without it. they cost like 9 dollars, and you can hang the bow just right in front of your body, in good position.

Been up in my stand with a i think gorilla brand sold at Wal-Mart

..haven't had any problems with it , lagged right into the tree without any problem and was very quiet,, btw shot at abear that was pushed down to me by my other hunting party, dudes,, never saw something move so fast through the timber it was like it's back feet were in front of it's front feet all the time it wentflyin' down out of there.

Go to Wal-Mart and get the cheap bow/gun hanger for $0.63. It screws into the tree.

Go to [link]http://www.deershack.com[/link] look at the bow harness. I used to hang my bow in the tree. the harness is great. just take a look.

Lone Wolf has a built in bow holder. Blessthem.
