I use a hawk hookster gear hook for my bow and attach to my hys strap. The hookster has more hook than the hero clip which I use for my pack. It works for me.

I do this too. But I changed out the gear tie for something shorter. The stock one is way too long, and I found the excess got in the way.

Played with a couple of new hook options this weekend. Put them on an ocb strap so of course they hold up rock solid. The circular ones may work on a daisy chain and are super light and silent. The bow holder is one of these.
Properly silenced it's quiet and packs flat, unlike those godawful plastic hook things. It's better and faster to set up than a screw-in holder, with a similar compact profile on the tree and rock solid rigidity.

The quiver is on one of these

Seemed to work quite well also, although I may go back to carabiners for light stuff that can be inadvertently dropped like a quiver...

This is so much easier for me than trying to screw something in (particularly on my weak side). In my case I use a hero clip for the bow and a carabiner for my pack
I had been holding off on a strap/qlipter kind of setup because I can screw in stuff where I hunt. My first hunt of the year this year I realized it would be so much easier to strap something on the tree then screwing stuff in.

Go to Home depot and look at the McGuire-Nicholas 3.5" monster hook multi tool holder, Tried mine yesterday works, just cut about and 1 1/2 off the hook end and put some tape on. Will work with amsteel rope or 1" webbing and cost 5$

It's kind of tough for me to watch people have $50.00 on a HYS Strap, Qlipter, and S Biners for a utility hanger. I have looped paracord w/ 2 cheap biners and hang my bow from the power tool hook. Maybe $15.00 total and works great.

7/64 Amsteel daisy chain with a Nite Ize Cam Jam, a couple of DanOs molle J hooks for my back pack and WE bag and a Hero clip for the bow. Strong, light and compact.

I had Eno Atlas straps for my hammock already so I use one of those around the tree and use S-biners for gear and Qliptor for bow
