LifeNRA Posted August 11, 2005 Report Share Posted August 11, 2005 Once you get in your stand and climb to your hunting height. Where do you connect the strap or rope to your bow to lift it up??? I have this strap I bought at Cabela's. But Ill be darned if I know where to connect it without doing any damage! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ksdeerhunter03 Posted August 11, 2005 Report Share Posted August 11, 2005 Re: When You Finaly Get In Your Treestand??? I just use some rope with a caribiner on both ends, hook one to the stand, one to the bow, and here you go! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LifeNRA Posted August 11, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2005 Re: When You Finaly Get In Your Treestand??? No I asked where on the bow do you connect it! Cable, cam, limb, ect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AaronS Posted August 11, 2005 Report Share Posted August 11, 2005 Re: When You Finaly Get In Your Treestand??? I tie the rope (no clip on mine) to the string near the cam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mainebuck Posted August 11, 2005 Report Share Posted August 11, 2005 Re: When You Finaly Get In Your Treestand??? I wrap my pull up rope around the top limb then clip it back over the rope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VtBowhunter Posted August 11, 2005 Report Share Posted August 11, 2005 Re: When You Finaly Get In Your Treestand??? I'm the same as Mainebuck. I also tie the rope on when I hang the stand and get it to a height where the bow won't be touching the ground when it's clipped onto the rope.

Guest tyshe17 Posted August 11, 2005 Report Share Posted August 11, 2005 Re: When You Finaly Get In Your Treestand??? Im with you VTbowhunter...I hate having my bow on the ground, then pulled up right, then swinging as I pull it into my tree...any preset stands have pull up ropes hanging from them for me. When I use a climber I tie onto the top limb and set it upright against a tree close by...this way if I am careful I can avoid that pendilum thing and only have to check my bottom cam and make sure it is free of any debree.

MCH Posted August 11, 2005 Report Share Posted August 11, 2005 Re: When You Finaly Get In Your Treestand??? My bow is split limb so I just clip the rope around one limb. I normally use a 30 foot+ pull rope that way, once I reach my height, the bow is laying on the ground with the bottom cam near the base of the tree. This helps stop the pendulum effect.

VTbowman Posted August 11, 2005 Report Share Posted August 11, 2005 Re: When You Finaly Get In Your Treestand??? I use a 30 foot piece of parachute cord. The 500# stuff. I have mine cut to the exact 30 foot mark to use as a yardage marker gauge as well as a pull up rope. I also tied knots at exactly 10 and 20 foot marks to use as a gauge for stand height. I tie my rope around the limbs and lay it flat on the ground but not in dirt. I will lay it over a log or stick, or whatever, to keep the cam/limb tips off the ground once I pull it off the ground.

VtBowhunter Posted August 11, 2005 Report Share Posted August 11, 2005 Re: When You Finaly Get In Your Treestand??? When using a climber I lay the bow down flat and climb until the bow lifts fully off the ground......then I know I'm high enough.......the bow is protected because it's still covered by my Primos bow sling.

preacherman Posted August 11, 2005 Report Share Posted August 11, 2005 Re: When You Finaly Get In Your Treestand??? I have a pretty sturdy clip on the end of mine. I run it through the split limbs on my bow and ease it up. Has worked well for me this last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dg Posted August 11, 2005 Report Share Posted August 11, 2005 Re: When You Finaly Get In Your Treestand??? My string has a loop about 5" dia. I push the loop between the cam and limb and then throw the loop over the cam and let tension hold it there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GWSmith Posted August 12, 2005 Report Share Posted August 12, 2005 Re: When You Finaly Get In Your Treestand??? I do this with my rifles...should work just a good with a softsided bowcase(thats well sprayed with scent-away). I've never lost anything in the dark this way and everything stays protected!!! To the handles on my softsided rifle case. Open it and hang the rifle. Close it and send the thing back down. I tie the rope on the top section of my climber so I know when I have reached my desired hieght in the dark...you'll feel the difference in weight as soon as the rope reaches its end.

As for me, I do the same as others, put the rope through the split limb and hook the clip around the rope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhino Posted August 12, 2005 Report Share Posted August 12, 2005 Re: When You Finaly Get In Your Treestand??? I tie my pull up rope through one of the holes on the bottom cam of my bow. That way the knocks on my arrows don't dig into the ground or mud when I pull up or lower my bow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
