Those of you with the tethrd HYS strap: What is your preferred method of hanging your bow? I know the hero clip package is often sold in conjunction with it, but looking for alternatives. Thanks!
 
I dont use a HYS strap anymore due to the unnecessary bulk but genesis 3d printing makes a folding bow hanger that works great on it. Genesis 3d printing also has their own gear strap system and thats what i use.
 
Thanks all. I’ve read people mention bulk with the HYS strap, but having ordered it and seeing it in person, it’s really not that bulky. Maybe unconventional in how it folds up, but no big deal.

The 3D Genesis bow hangers look like they’d make a perfect pairing with it.
 
Just buy you a medium sized plastic s biner from Home Depot and remove the metal retaining clip off of one side of it. Perfect bow hanger to any gear strap that utilizes the daisy chain attachment method

This is exactly what I run! I love it. I did have to return the regular bow hanger and get the longer version to fit a Mathews v3 for a refrence
 
I have a mission switch. Not sure how it’ll differ size-wise, but I guess the extra real estate to hang your bow would provide better peace of mind.
 
I had a hys strap & it was nice but bulky as mentioned. I do like using the hero clip to hang my bow from though, just hang the cam on it & it is easy to grab. The clips people are attaching to their bows look cool but I haven't tried that yet.

I made myself a gear strap out of amsteel & like it much better than the hys strap. Switching to that & 8mm ropes has made it where I can just run one dump pouch.
 
I didnt like the HYS strap because of the bulk. Got the latitude strap and like that a lot more. The Hero clip is nice but doesn't work for me because I don't like taking off my quiver. I think Im going to try the 3D clip this year.
 
I have the Genesis 3D XL bow hanger. I use it for my bow and you can hang a rifle off it also via the sling with zero issues. You “can” use it to rest the rifle on also for stability if necessary.
