This is just one of many good reasons to own and climb with a Third Hand Universal Treestand Bow Holder.
I've killed a half dozen deer while climbing over the past 10 years. Also got a coyote and turkey. Most guys go in in the dark and climb fast. That is pretty noisy so the hunter may not hear the deer come in but trust me they do. When climbing fast we tend to look up watching where we are going so we don't see the deer on the ground while climbing. Try going in during greylight and climb by taking a step or two and sitting there listening for 20-30 seconds then take another step. The first thing noticed is it is much quieter, safer and at the top we aren't hot and sweaty. If a deer does come in we have our bow to shoot the deer. Pretty simple change.
Bought a Viper SD this year and planned on using it stock this year til I get everything figured out and decide what I want to add. I am definitely adding this to the arsenal next year. Pain in the butt having to worry about the pull up rope all the time too.
Greatwhitehunter3 Take a look at the Kentucky Bow Hunters package on our website. Just about covers everything from the time you leave your vehicle to your tree hands free. Holds everything while on stand and is much safer. $45 total.
Just got this in from a customer, thought it was fitting. Jim I have to tell you, I bought this bow holder for my Summit Titan this year and it is by far one of the best hunting equipment investments I have ever made ! Just for the mere fact alone that I can climb and have my bow ready to shoot if I'm halfway up or down a tree made it worth every penny. My brother in law looked at me like I had two heads when he saw my holder on my tree stand (we both have Summit Titans) and I told him how it makes life a lot easier by always having my bow handy and I don't have to use a hoist rope anymore. He said there's no way that it would hold your bow while climbing, so I strapped my stand to a tree in his yard, put my $1100 Hoyt Spyder Turbo in the climbing position and told him to climb the tree. He started laughing and said if my bow drops and gets ruined that I have to buy a Mathews (he's a huge fan and always trying to talk me into a waffle) so I told him that if it doesn't drop he has to buy a Hoyt for a new bow next time he gets one. We shook on it and up the tree he went. He was shaking the top for all he was worth, looking like a chubby porcupine having a seizure up a tree and the bow never moved. He got settled in and sat down and had a total look of defeat on his face, took a deep breath and let it out and said " so tell me more about this Spyder Turbo " HAHAHAHAHAHA Thanks again Jim, Third Hand makes great products and I will always vouch for the durability and excellence of your merchandise.
