The Thirdhand Archery bow holder is the best I’ve ever used. I have them on several of my stands. I know some on here like some other brands, but I haven’t tried them and don’t really need to. Hard to improve on that one as far as I’m concerned.

 

This right here. Best bow holder in my opinion for a climber, easy to install, holds the bow well and easy to reach.

 

this with a strap

I like that one.

 

I have used Thirdhand for many years and really like them, but for my hang on for my recurve, I wanted one that folded away. I ordered a LWCG Sidekick and it’s supposed to be here today, I will see.

 

Just…….Use the force!!!

3rd hand is my vote

 

Climber or hang on - 3rd Hand Bowholder no doubt.

If I'm in the saddle I use a Tethrd HYS strap and a Nite Eyez Hero Clip. I have private land and can screw a bowholder into a tree if I want but it's a bit of hassle and I wind up making a lot of noise. On certain trees that are harder or have funky bark it's hard to get them started too, especially in the dark.

 

My problem with tree bow holders is I am always leaving them in trees when I leave in the dark.

 

I feel like I move a lot less and can keep my eye on the animals better with the bow rest attached to the stand in front of me.

I got some fairly cheap RealTree hangers for Christmas a few years back. Pretty simple and straightforward, and they are maybe $15

 

he is hunting public so cannot screw them into a tree


which reminds me, before I bought the ones I posted above, I cut a 2x4 about a foot long, and screwed the hanger into it and strapped the 2x4 to the tree, of course I painted the 2x4

 

Mostly use old tree steps or them small screw in holders. But my favorite is clipping a small branch and hang bow on it Preferably in front of me

 

One of the properties that I hunt is a County Conservation Program where you cannot screw anything into a tree that you plan to hunt from. I normally use a screw in bow holder, but when I hunt this program I made this bow holder that can be strapped to the tree with a ratchet strap.

 

I love the fact that he clearly states he can’t use screw in holders and gets recommended screw in holders.

 

I’m a stand holder guy myself, Thirdhand Archery bow holder or any of those work well

 

Third Hand on all my stands.

 

A hunting buddy likes those screw-in long arm hangers for the ladder stands on his property, but I am not a big fan. Not only are they illegal on public ground, but can get in the way of a shot off to the side they are hung.....been there. On private, I've used the little screw-in L-hooks and they work OK.

Since taking up saddle hunting, I have used a Genesis 3D strap with a bow holder and couple extra hooks for pack and quiver. It rolls up fairly compact and fits in my right side saddle pouch, along with bow haul rope, folding saw and small flashlight. Early this summer, I made an extra Amsteel daisy chain and had a friend make me a few 3D printed bow holders and accessory hoots. In testing, I found that a Nite-eyze S-biner worked OK, but sometimes didn't get it snug enough. So I dug around the man cave and found a Cam-jam and that works great......every time is snug and easy to set up.
