Hanging Bow from Molle Webbing?

[MN_Bowhunter4]

I was hanging in a tree and had this thought. Anybody do something similar, and if so, what sort of clip do you use and how do you orientate the bow?

I was thinking I could double my predator clip and hang my bow by it’s cam, similar to how it sits on my tree strap. That seemed a bit awkward to grab it though as the grip was so low.

Even though it adds more weight this is how I roll even with my compound

Can’t use those on public in MN. I use a clip on strap with gear hooks that serves the same purpose.

I’m thinking having it on the saddle itself might me less movement when picking it up. Maybe not though.

Here’s what I use, a night ize figure nine on a gear strap. I just removed the clip piece that goes over the gate of the large hook and heated it a bit and closed the mouth a bit. Then I take the smaller hook with the teeth and that goes over the gear strap. The teeth work their way into the strap and it holds fast. You can see it in this pic

Thanks. 3 straight days of 4am wake ups I’m clearly not thinking clearly!

I currently use a gear strap and have my bow hanging from the tree like you guys have posted above. I’m trying to figure out if anyone uses the molle loops on their saddle to hang their bow, so it’s right on your hip when you’re in the tree. Anybody tried a bow hanger connectedto your saddle?

Here is what I used last year but I made a cord with tied loops since. I think the molle strap was easier and more tangle free. I think I will go back to it. I use a bungee to keep it tight.

Here is what I have been using.

Hmm I don’t know that I’d do that because your bow will be swinging and moving. Deer are pretty attuned to movement. Course now that I’ve said that I’m sure someone does it and it works awesome.

Yeah that’s what I’m wondering about. It seems super handy to have it right there, but the movement factor could be a turn off.

If the deer look up an additional large swinging object may alert them more.

If you sometimes climb a bigger tree the bungee cord is useful. I climbed this one today. Without the bungee, I would have been SOL.
