Maybe its just me, but i seem to sit longer and with less motion if im not continually trying to stay comfortable while holding and readjusting my bow, so with this in mind i made these.
This is far from a new concept, but by using these, ill sit quieter longer, while having my bow at the ready at all times. (http://%20[url=http://images.imagelinky.com/1351895869.JPG%5D%20%5Bimg%5Dhttp://images.imagelinky.com/1351895869.JPG)[/url] [/IMG]
Good Idea. :thumbsup:
Just like Fred used.
Good idea!
I carry a small screw in hook and hang my bow on the side of a nearby tree. The angle of dangle keeps the arrow on the shelf too.
I figured 20 minutes in the garage, might be a fair trade for many added hrs of sitting quiet.
I love the ground game and anything that i can use to my advantage just ups my odds. :goldtooth:
Looks like a great idea
Good idea!
Great idea, looks like it will serve the purpose.
Thanks guys! Finding forked limbs to serve the same purpose was near impossible, so a couple of 1x2 furring strips and 20 minutes time worked out great.
Just thought id pass the idea along to the other ground hunters out there.
Deathmaster, was it Fred Bear that used a similar idea?
Great idea to a common problem moleman.
Great idea... :thumbsup:
Yeah... I remember the pic of Fred Bear using forked sticks for the same purpose.
Good idea. I too struggle with holding the bow for long periods of time.
Nice fletching color also. I always though blue was the easiest for me to see but for some reason stopped useing the color.
Like it!
Looks good!
Awesome idea. I was trying to think of an idea just this morning while in the ground blind. A huge Thank you for posting . Maxx
Thought id post a pic of these easy to make sticks.
I used 1x2 furring, 3/4" paddle bit, circular saw, and a belt sander. Total time, 20 minutes. (http://%20[url=http://images.imagelinky.com/1351970938.JPG%5D%20%5Bimg%5Dhttp://images.imagelinky.com/1351970938.JPG)[/url] [/IMG]
great idea
You can use those for self defense against vampires too.
Or just shoot 'em in the heart with a woodie!
:archer2:
I made a bow holder from PVC pipe.....yours looks more practical......looks like another project.....lol!
You're full of good ideas! I found myself wishing a set of those this morning.
Nice idea but a suggestion, a holder that holds the bow in the same position you need it to shoot would be better. If you get caught with the deer close and have to turn the bow to vertical it's a lot of movement, something that I try and avoid. I usually sit on a stool or in my pit blind and I usually hold the bow because I've been caught short more times than I can remember.
It is an interesting idea, but I think too much movement to pick up the bow when some thing is coming. The way I sit, the bow is across my legs and basically ready to go with little movement to draw.
Looks great. I cant stand holding a bow for hours on end....or even for minutes on end. Never have had a problem with movement, either.
