Just curious what you guys are using to keep your bow off the ground or stabilizing it in the ground blind. I have been bothered by this for awhile now and am finally going to break down and buy a stand or a hanger. My ground blind always seems to get cluttered with gear and laying my bow on the ground really bothers me and takes up a lot of space.
I make packs and bow hangers for ground blinds.PM me and I can give you details.Web site isn't going yet.
I sell a lot of these out of my shop. The best thing I have used to date is the Pole Mountain Bow BowLegs. They fold up for easy transport and you can shoot with them in either open or closed position. Simple light weight concept that works!
Here they are on my turkey hunting rig..

that stand looks great, might get one for 3d.
Great looking stand Gslam
How do I get one gslam? I have been using a metal one that sticks in the ground but it's heavy and takes up space in my blind bag.

You can get them through pole mountain outdoors website or I have them in stock as well. I will PM you some more info.
Thank you.

Are you hunting out of a hub style blind? If you are, there are multiple options that rest on two of the rods. I've used the Double Bull (Primos) model with no issues. Although, I have worried that I might shake the wall of the blind slightly removing my bow and spook something if a deer or turkey snuck in unannounced.
I am looking into a few in the links below
I think this one would work well in a hub style blind..Very similar to the EZ hanger that screws in trees for tree-stand use..I love my EZ hanger

While small an a tight fit for most vertical bow shooters..I have hunted out of spring steel pop ups more then hubs.. The hook below looks like it would work well in said style blind..Personally I would attach it where the rods make a "X' at the top of the center roof

This one looks the simplest. Light weight, and I like that it swivels. I've hung my bow from the roof supports in a hub style blind with a regular hook and it seems to put the bow always at the wrong angle. One thing I remember is if the hook isn't stable enough when you lift your bow from the hook it does not come off cleanly.

GSlam95- Nice looking rig. Blacked out bow is cool shooting from a blind. The Pole Mountain bow legs, does the cam of bow make the third point of contact when it's free standing? Do you protect it from the dirt or am I over thinking this. Looks like a stable set-up. Doug

Hey guys- New here. I use the pole mountain bow legs as well and I love them. Simple, dont have to worry about carrying something else in your pack, dont have to try to stick anything in the ground. To answer your question, yes the cam is the 3rd point of contact. If I am in grass or something, I never worry about it, but if I am on dirt, I typically put something under the cam - my decoy bag, a glove, etc.

I have the pole mountain one. Can't get the one tight enough to keep it from wanting to fold under causing the bow to fall over. Setting on a shelf collecting dust.
So I went to a tactulizer stabilizer and a foldIng bipod. Don't mind the light just put it on there for the pic. The carry handle is nice though.

Im a big fan of the double bull magnum stools. They are a little heavier than the cheap chairs, but they are built solid and pretty comfy.
Very nice setups :drool:
Thank you to everyone who gave me ideas and their input on the best way to keep your bow ready to shoot inside a ground blind and yet out of the way. I kind of blended some ideas together and took a new spin on it as well. I wanted it to be cheap, effective, and be able to do everything in the dark. This is really simple and it is totally adjustable to your own preference and you can close and open your blind without untying the string. I used a cheap, large twist tie kind of thing I found on sale in the automotive department at Walmart, to make the bow hook out of and this works great to hold the weight of the bow. The bow in the picture is a 35" and I have it set to where the grip is hand level and the bow does not touch the ground. The string is thin but tough and I got it in the WalMart boat section. Again very cheap and very easy was the plan. When done I just undo the twist tie and put it in the side pocket inside the blind and you can also keep extra line in there for just in case scenarios. I am doing this to all of my blinds. Good luck this fall.

that RIS is AWESOME! did you custom mount it on or do they make them specifically for bows? send me a PM please!
Bass Pro has these hooks that will go over the top of the poles inside. And then has a hook on the bottom that you can hang your cam on. They're simple and work great. I'll put two up in a blind. 1 for my bow and 1 for my quiver. Not sure what they are called tho. It's like $7 for 2 of them.
