anyone make their own strap to hang gear/pack/bow/gun on while saddle hunting? Seems like it would be simple, though maybe not more cost effective than buying one.
Could you do a locked eye on the end of the rope and lose the quick link and an alpine butterfly and lose the "S"? That would eliminate the metal other than the bow hook and small amount of weight.I DIY'ed this setup. It's a length of 1/8 amsteel, a small quick link, a few flag/banner clips, 3 d-loop material prussics, and an s-hook that I closed an eye on one side. The aluminum bow hook I designed and made. You can use a hero clip or any other bow hook out there. The system generates 2 times the tension on the gear strap. It's solid (and cheap). The bottom prussic is where I hang my pack.

That was just to be able to contain the rope when I wrap it up, like a cord caddy.What is the purpose of the flared out bit/2 prongs at the end opposite the tree of ur bow arm?
I'll look at those suggestions again. Based on how I have it set up, the opening in the quick link is necessary for me to hook the outboard prussic in. I felt like the s hook/prussic combo was easier than trying to get an alpine butterfly knot tied in the right location. That may simply be my inexperience with it.Could you do a locked eye on the end of the rope and lose the quick link and an alpine butterfly and lose the "S"?

Nice....I use something very similar as a bow arm and that would be a welcome addition if I make another 1.....duh,why didn't I think of that....hahahThat was just to be able to contain the rope when I wrap it up, like a cord caddy.
