Title: looking for a lightweight,short bow "stand"
Post by: Zradix on March 03, 2011, 05:02:00 PM
Hey everyone.
I looking for something small I can put on or in the ground that will hold my bow more or less straight up.

I want this for blind hunting. Tired of having to pick up my bow when it's time.

Needs to be small and light....might have to design one myself.

I've seen the primos one. looks long and hard to pack. If anyone has tried one with a tradbow I'd love to know how it worked.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks     :thumbsup:

Saunders used to make a stand out of wire rod that stuck into the ground and held the limb in a wire piece that stuck out to the side and looked like two plastic covered fingers.

seen a couple like that. HME in cabelas too.

They just don't look like they;d work very well.
Kinda have to carefully remove the bow if you know what I mean.

Cut the bottom of this and shove it in the ground.

This one is for ground blinds from a company called Bow Jaws. You can get the bow holder with different bases for different applications.

some interesting stuff.
I wish they took the pics with a bow in them or a ruler for scale.

Thanks   :thumbsup:

after digging in their site I did find a pic of the bow jaws in a guy's hand.

I think I need to design one that's lightweight, works better for trad bows, and is or can get smaller for packing.

I hate packing steel...lol
