I am not talking about the rope silly. I am talking about how do you connect the rope to your bow for hoisting? What type of quick connections do you use?


Any pics?

A simple clove hitch works best for me!

I use a carabiner clip, just tie it to a rope.

I am sure i will catch flack for this but i just tie a know in the end and then slip the string in between the bow string and the cam. the knot keeps it from slipping through.

I slip a bow cover on and slip it over my back and climb up. I do not like hoisting it up off the ground. I just climb with it over my shoulders.

I usenothing more than a basic hoist cord (25ft) tied with two simple half hitches (never had it fail). I then tie the other end to the platform section of my stand for the climb.I don't use any kind of a clip or snap on the end to eliminate any possible noise. I also use the Primos bow sling (took the actual sling off). But I use it as more of a protective "sleeve" for my bow to keep any dirt/debris from getting in my cams when I pull my bow off the ground. It also helps keep the string/cables from catching on anything on the way up. It protects the cams from nicks as well.

The little clips on the ends on HS Utility ropes. Attach it to the limb, or attach the felt piece sectionI put on there to the cam, so I dont mess up the cam in any way.
