Using a Blind or Cover Material Around a Tree Stand

What info or comments might anyone have about using a Tree Stand Blind covering material ???

There are several kits out there for wrapping around a tree stand, with camo fabric to cover up your lower body. Has anyone used this for bow hunting, or will it just get in the way and is just for rifle hunting? I am just thinking about it at this point, but might help in covering up my body and small movements.

My ladder stands will be in the same place all season, and the tree foliage is not so thick. Will these fabric stand covers just blow in the wind to much and make more noise than wanted?

If one does have a wrapping around your stand, then where and how did you hold your bow and quiver, that might be the draw back?

Thanks,

I have some camo burlap covering the front of my stand that is behind a large bush...The rest of the stand I zip tie pine branches too...Taller in back to break my sillouette and tall enough in my shooting lanes that when I sit most of me is covered but short enough that I can still draw the bow without a problem.
Look in the DIY section there are some good ideas in there too.

get a screw in bow holder .

i use an old x-mas tree limbs,on the foot platform and above my head.
i put dead trees along the ladder with some brush behind the ladder to break the rungs up.

on some of my ladder stands, i use old climbers that are more comfy. just use the ladder to get up to them!
