My friend and hunting buddy came up with an ingenious design. "The blade" of the bow holder mounts between the stabilizer and the bow facing outwards and off set enough to allow for the stabilizer. The custom built receivers mount directly to the tree stand (can be with U bolt, or in my case, drilled and screwed directly to my Summit climber. I get my stand on the tree, slip the blade into the receiver and climb with my bow on the stand. The blade/receiver has come in handy a few times. I am still climbing up and I have deer coming in with my bow on the ground still. Nothing I can do but freeze and let them go on by in hopes they circle back at some point.. it isn't often, but it has happened. Also have climbed up to my stand level to relize I either didn't tie my pull rope to my stand or it came undone while I was climbing. Sucks having to go back down, then back up yet again. I'm sure most any climber stand hunters will agree, you sweat more climbing up/down then you do walking in. For climbing I usually unzip about as much as I can to let my body cool down quick and I started putting a "Frog Togg" "Chilly pad" on my neck. Dunk it in water for a few seconds and it stays moist and cool for hours. Great little invention for early season. My quiver is a quick release style by "Fuse" which I believe was a Hoyt product.. not 100% on that. I bought an extra receive for that quiver and mounted it to my stand on the other side. I go up my tree with bow on my left side (when I'm seated) and my quiver on my right side. It has come in handy a few times.. so instead of reaching behind me for another arrow, I just reach down with eyes on the deer the entire time. That has allowed me to hit a triple from the same pack last year, and a double the year before. (Maryland allows as many deer as you can per day.. i know some states only allow 1 per day)
Riser, with a hoist rope with plastic clips...always worked well for me. I hold the hoist 4' off the ground though so I don't have to drop the bow in the dirt.
