RE: Hanging Your Bow?
I usually have it in my hand or laying across my lap or standing up right in front of me in a bow holster attached to my belt. I like to be ready. I used to enjoy having a bow holder attached to the top of my stand so the bow was within easy reach and already in an upright position. HOWEVER, since I bought the Guardian, I can find a bow holder I like or feel comfortable with when carrying a parallel limb bow. With the old Darton Maverick with recurve limbs it was easy and secure. Anyone know of anything that'll work with a parallel limb bow??????

RE: Hanging Your Bow?
I usually hang on to my bow, when I am trimming out branches to hang the stand, I leave a nub to hang my packsack on, when possible.
But I also picked up some Bike hangers from local store (can tire) for like 4bux each, they are padded, and have a threaded end, so works perfect for the bow, or gear, being padded makes them quite, and they go into the tree's easily.

Always have myhand on my bow. I learn from the mistakes of others. How many times have I heard the stories of deer suprising the hunter and his bow is on the hanger? Hangers are for home when the hunt is done.

I usually lay mine across my lap, but if Im going to get soemthing out of my pack or use the restroom , I will hang it on a hook that I put into the tree, one of the greatest .59 cent investments I've made.

RE: Hanging Your Bow?
i lay mine across the front rail of my Viper...
i hunt state game lands often and cant damage or drill into trees....so i dont use a hanger when im not on game lands just to stay in the same habit and routines....
i do use a hook or 2 for my quiver and pack when im not on game lands....game lands i have to hang it all from the stand somehow....
have a front pouch on my viper and been ditching the pack till im sitting all day....
