When one sticking and trying to keep a small load in your dump pouches, what gear straps, hangers and methods are everyone using? I’ve carried a tethrd hys strap and a couple hero clips for the past couple seasons but would like something to pack smaller

I recently downsized as well, I borrowed an amsteel daisy chain from @Teddy9871 then used a spare kydex j hook & hung my quiver hood (still attached to my bow) directly on it. My pack hung from the tail as usual. Then just added a loop of accessory cord to the top end of my sling for gun season worked great & fits in my fist (zero bulk)

I’m using a daisy chain with a ball knot on the end (similar to a soft shackle). Heavy item goes in the end if needed. I also will use my tether (1” webbing) in conjunction with a kydex j hook for lighter items. My go to is a Hawk jab handle. Probably 1 of my top 3 pieces of gear.

I hadn’t thought of an amsteel daisy chain. I’ll have to give that a try. I take my quiver off when I set up and shoot but I may start shooting with it on to eliminate that extra step and hanger. Thanks for the idea!

You can figure out a lot of stuff if you misplace gear…..

I thought about using the tether but hadn’t experimented with it yet. How well does it hold weight since the tag end is tan through the quick link?

i don't one stick, but can speak to this

the most silent, compact and secure method of bow attachment i have ever used is

1. amsteel daisy chain strap with an aluminum nite ize cam jam adjuster, and back up the cam jam by doing a half hitch onto the daisy chain with its tag end once adjusted (so if cam jam slips or breaks your bow doesn't fall).....folks sell these straps but you can make one in 1 hour tops


2. then mount a secure hook on your bow riser (right side for a rightie if you hang on left of tree) somehow that then hangs onto a loop on this amsteel daisy chain

regarding the hook, bowtechs are easy because they have threads to screw in a dampener by each limb pocket, with other bows i've seen folks make kydex hooks to screw behind quiver mount or even onto the screws by the arrow rest....you could probably also attach a stiff hook to a cord and tie the cord to the riser and the use shrink tubing on everything so that it doesn't bang on your riser at the shot

for me, this method is so much better than a hero clip or any other method (i've tried about all of them), that it isn't even close (you could probably hang off the bottom of your bow and do pull ups, disengages silently, and bow is on so solidly that you'd have to try to make it fall off the loop)

my first whack at it is below, i've since shortened the metal stock, bent it slightly outward so that it goes off and on the loop more easily, and covered the bolts and stock with stealth strips

Innovating the Outdoors 3 d printed bow and gear hanger. I replaced the 3d attachment point with cam jam just because I like it better. Super light and cord is amsteel for $25 and free shipping. They also make the excellent tether locker and prusik tenders. 1640881773132.png

How do you like that large bow hook? Looks like it could use a little bigger catch on the end to me but may just look small in the picture?

Alright, I’m heading to the Home Depot in the AM anyway so what all am I getting? Jam cam, cuff hook. I got plenty of amsteel and paracord. Been using S hooks on a strap, but I’m afraid of the plastic buckle/clips breaking, even though it shouldn’t….if it does, my pack and bow are gonna make a loud noise colliding with the ground!

It fits my Hoyt Torrex limbs just fine, but I'm using a loop of amsteel girth hitched to the riser to hang. The whole thing wraps up and fits easily in my cargo pocket, a little bigger than the palm of my hand. I keep it in my left hip pouch with my linemans rope and it is the first thing that comes out at hunting height.

This is what your looking for. I have used the large plastic carabiner for my pack. And it works well. I may switch to another hero Clip. I do use the smaller plastic carabiners fro small items. All on a amsteel daisy chain.

This is the carabiner I have used for my pack.


And these for small items like grunt call.

I got a jam camxt but think I’ll stick with the S hooks. I made a gear hanger out of paracord and don’t think I’ll have to worry about it breaking anymore. Gonna be sweet!
