Title: Bow holder?
Post by: mecosta on October 21, 2012, 08:39:00 PM
This is my first year with the recurve. I have only been out a few times on the ground and I am having trouble with what to do with my bow. Do the bow holders that are made for compounds work for recurves?  Any other suggestions?

Most of the time I either have it across my lap or with the bottom limb tip on my toe and the bow held vertically. If I need to give my hand a break, this works:

I don't know about the compound holders. I think they might work, but I try to carry as little stuff as possible.

I'm shooting a recurve this year and use the iron bow holder you stick in the ground. The top portion is rubber coated, works pretty well so far this year.

The top of my boot works for me while sitting. On the ground or in a stand.

I use a compound holder. I had to bend it a little but they work. It would be nice if a company would come up with a good traditional holder.

In a blind the bow rests against the support and the arrow against a tree. I've also added a Saunders Kwik Lok to the bow.

In a tree I have a long cup hook I screw into the tree to hold the bow.
