I have a gorrilla screw in bow hanger, it works great for my exomax

Mine is on my lap, pointing the way I expect the deer to show up. I dont have alot of cover most times or else I would hang it up. But having it on the lap is not as uncomfortable as you might think. Having a shooting rail makes it even easier.

I've got hooks with my climbers, bow, quiver, fanny pack all has it's place not to make noise when needed.

I either hang it on a hook or just put it across my lap.

those work really well.. cheap also! I bouhgt 2 of them for 7bucks an I think they are around 18inches long?

I use the ezhangers also, but those tend to want to spin around in certain trees from the xbow weight.

I just like my hanger off the side of my head so I can stand if needed, but I like for it to wrap around in frotn of me to help break up my outline and plus I dont have shooting rails so resting on my knee after 2 hours doesnt feel well.

I rest mine of my tree stand rail its awesome for shooting. It gives you a rock solid shooting platform.

How much do the silencers on your limbs, in that position, affect arrow speed?

OneShot · Post by **OneShot** » Sun Aug 16, 2009 1:30 pm

I am not sure if speed is loss, but the bow seems to be alot quieter and with less vibrations!

They also still stick into the ground after the passthru of the shot!

Never thought to try and see the speed test.

I have a Summit Viper and can rest my exomag on the front rail of the upper portion of the climber with the stock resting on the seat or the rear bar of the stand or in a loop I tied on the cable arm. The forward weight of the bow holds the stock tight in the loop. I also have a TimberTall climbing stand that I made a holder for by bending heavy copper wire as hangers. The front peace is bent up like a regular gun holder & the back piece is bent down so that the weight of the front of the bow pushes the stock up against it. On the web I have seen the New Dawn Treestand Crossbow Holder & the High Point Crossbow Holder. They both look like they would work o.k.
