Schedule 40 Bow Holder...2.0

[jhunter13]

Had some time today so I decided to try and make a smaller, cleaner hanger. This time around I used 1/2" pvc and the oven instead of plumbers torch.

Started with a 12" stick and marked where I wanted the bends. Put the stick on some foil in the oven already preheated to 350 degrees for 8 minutes. The stick became extremly pliable at this point.

I clamped it down into a jig I made and let it cool off.

About 10 minutes........still needs paint or camotape, but turned out way better than version 1.0

I ended up cutting the jig, and threw an allen key in at the clip bend as it was pinched way to tight to slide down my diy hys strap.

Last pic just showing where to adjust for wider bow limbs (move red stop block right and add spacer at green arrow)

Locks in nice, and fits the loops perfect!

I like this! Does it want to fold into the tree at all?

 

[jhunter13]

Oh yeah....almost forgot- for those on weight watchers...

Not sure what you mean by "fold." It doesnt seem to go anywhere, in any direction once I cinch strap down

Love it man. Since you've already made your jig... when will you start mass-production for all your homies?

Someone asked me that already. If there is enough interest, I can make a dozen or so.

That's an awesome idea! Well done & nicely executed! Is the friction/size of the bulge where the Allen key was introduced the only thing holding in the HYS loop, or is there something else securing it as well?

I put the allen key in as the previous version was so tight at the top of the fold over I couldnt get the webbing of the hys strap all the way in.

It simply hangs in a loop, nothing else holds it in place

Nice job. Think I'll try making one.

Heated some up today to extend the legs on the swim ladder for the boat....was wondering hey could I make a bow holder and behold here it is. Nice work going to give it a go. Got a bunch left from making bows for the Cub Scouts.
