Whether a backcountry or tree-stand hunter, securely packing and carrying one's bow can be among the most frustrating of a bowhunter's tasks afield. Particularly when it must still be kept handy enough to press into action at a moment's notice. With the Bow Spider, both tasks can be easily fulfilled.
Tan Bow Spider with Black Aluminum Riser

Based around a simple concept, the Bow Spider is a lightweight, roundish holder that comes with a belt and long bolts, allowing for multiple ways to secure one's bow. The belt can be utilized to secure the Bow Spider's attachment hub to one's pack, hip, headrest, blind, tree or just about anywhere else one can think of—even a wall. 

The Spider attaches an aluminum arm to the bow's riser, which slides into a slot on the injection-molded receiver hub. A gravity-locking system holds the bow securely in place, yet still allows it to slide out with minimal effort—the bow must be either firmly pulled, or turned upside down, to release. 

The Bow Spider is available in green, tan or black. For more information, please visit bowspider.comMSRP: $84.95
