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.

When I turkey hunt I use a DSD decoy

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..

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.

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

I have never used either so I aint saying one is better then the other,or the best out there..Just a few products I have seen an caught my eye
"Mister X"=2013 Recon'ed Stryker Strykezone 380 covered in Mossy Oak Treestand camo(1inch groups@45yards off a bench with Slick Trick Broadheads)
"General Patton"=Mossberg 835 Ulti-Mag/24in ported barrel in  woodland camo

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.
