Bow hoist?

Doyle's hunting hoist is gonna get recommended a lot. I have one and like it, but honestly prefer a primos bow sling. I wear a small pack and sling my bow over my shoulder and away I go!
The Doyle's is gonna blow your mind though if you've never used a retractable rope.

I’ve been considering the Doyle’s because I see it recommended a lot in here, but I’ve been using a Hawk flat pull-up rope that has been great for me the last few years.

You are correct. I found a video on the HSS website and the are winding it up. I believe I am going to get a Doyles and clip it to the molle on the back of my mantis.
It's a good piece of gear. While I have moved away from mine, I don't think there's a better product in that particular category.
DO NOT GET THE HSS HOIST! I bought one when they were first released and was overall pleased with it until I was bringing my bow up and the end clip broke off. My bow was approximately ten feet off the ground when it let go. Of course this happened on a perfect November rut hunt after a mile walk and a canoe paddle.
That's why I loc-tite my stuff down and mark all my adjustments. I had a buddy hunting with a trad bow try to mess with me by tossing his bow up on the bank from the boat and ask me, "Can your fancy wheelie-bow do that?" I shrugged and tossed mine up there too.
Short of a cracked limb or bent cam, not much keeps me from flinging arrows.
Check Pawn Shops for an automatic fly fishing reel. The one in the pic’s has 30+ feet of cord and lets out as you go up & down from your stand. Easy to modify to work as a bow hoist as seen in pic’s.
Allen Company makes a retractable hoist with 2 ways to attach the hoist to a pack or stand. I picked one up last month pretty cheap and will be using it this year.

I've always used paracord. I might look into some of the retractable ones though. Do they guys using the retractable ones climb with your pack on and just hoist the bow or do they handel the bow and pack?

I use a Doyle strap style hoist. Works great and I think you would like it.
I use just paracord, but seeing what else is out there. Never heard of the Doyle. The HSS seems too bulky for me and doesn't retract.
LOL, go to Amazon and do a search for Doyles Hoist and then look at "Customers who bought this item also bought":
- Wild Country Ropeman
- Molle drawstring dump pouch
- Samson rope splicing kit
- Qliplet/Qlipter
- BoatBuckle strap
- HME Products Accessory belt
- Petzel Attache Hera Screw Lock Carabiner
anyone have a better pic of the Doyles hoist? Amazon looks like it's in a bag? Or is that how it is?
