Compound Bow Hanger

A drop-on compound bow hanger that installs on your hunting blind's ceiling poles in twenty seconds. Wide center hook holds any bow — solid limb or split-limb — by the string, cam, or laid flat across both limbs. Two small side stubs hold your release aid, hat, or a paracord loop. Silent to install, silent to remove.

You're set up in the blind. You've been holding your bow for two hours because there's nowhere to put it down that isn't the ground or the fabric wall. Your arm is fatigued. When the shooter comes into range, you're already fighting a shake you didn't have at first light.

This solves that. A 3.9-inch center hook takes the bow — string, upper cam, or laid flat across both limbs on split-limb bows like the Hoyt RX-10. Keeps the riser off the ground, keeps the sight glass clean, keeps the quiver upright. The whole rig hangs on ONE hook that drops onto the top-downward blind poles of your blind. Zero hardware.

Split-limb ready. The 3.9-inch center hook length catches BOTH parallel limbs of split-limb compound bows — Hoyt RX/RX-10 series, Bowtech Reckoning, PSE Evoke, Elite, and every modern hunting split-limb setup. Both limbs lay flat across the hook, weight is distributed evenly, bow sits square.

Silent removal is the design. The center hook has a MINIMAL tip stop — just 5mm — deliberately short so the bowstring clears cleanly on the lift-and-pull motion. Every taller hook we tried caught on the string during draw-back, scraping and clicking loud enough to spook a deer at 20 yards. This one doesn't.

Two small side stubs, one for each hand:

• Release aid on its wrist strap. Loop over the stub and it stays put. Ready when the deer walks in.
• Hat, gloves, or ear muffs for when the sun comes up and layers come off.
• Paracord loop for a face mask, kill tags, calls, or a spare glove.

The stubs are intentionally small (0.6 in reach) and low-profile — no sharp edges, no noise-catching hooks in the blind interior.

Purpose-built for high-mount install so your bow clears the ground.

Most drop-on blind gear is designed for chest-level or lap-level height. That works for a coffee cup or a phone — but a compound bow hung that low will drag its bottom cam on the ground. This hanger is designed to mount NEAR THE CEILING of your blind, on the top-downward blind poles, so a 30-inch bow hangs cleanly with the bottom cam a foot off the ground.

Self-guiding slide install. Both back-arm brackets have a diagonal ramp cut on their channel-facing side (angled to match typical blind pole angles, ~25-30 degrees from vertical). When you push the hanger up onto the poles from below, the poles ride the ramp and seat themselves in the channel on their own — no fussy alignment, no tilting the bar sideways. If your blind's poles land anywhere between 20 and 40 degrees from vertical, the slide takes it.

Extra-wide 13-inch bar. Fits blinds with pole spreads from tight-hub 8-inch to wide-hub 12-inch spacing at ceiling height. The 9-inch open middle channel between the two brackets means the hanger doesn't care where along the pole your ceiling hub sits — it drops on and finds its own position.

Fits pop-up hunting blinds with angled back poles from 1/4 in to 9/16 in (6mm to 14mm) in diameter. That range covers the 9mm and 11mm poles most hunting blinds use, Ameristep, Primos, Rhino Blinds, Muddy and Barronett among them. If your back poles measure thicker than 9/16 in, this hanger is not the one.

Not for: hard-shell permanent blinds, elevated permanent blinds, treestand-only setups without a mounted platform (needs somewhere to hook on).

Why this design wins:

• Silent bow removal. 5mm tip on the center hook clears the bowstring cleanly. No scrape, no click.
• Self-guiding slide. Diagonal ramp on each back arm guides the poles into the channel as you lift the bar — no wrestling, no alignment.
• 13-inch bar fits blinds with any pole spread from 8 to 12 inches at ceiling height.
• Split-limb compatible. 3.9-inch center hook length covers all modern split-limb compounds.
• Zero hardware. Twenty-second install. No drilling, no straps, no clamps, no thumb screws.
• Cold-stable to -20°F, UV-stable. Wisconsin, Michigan, Minnesota-tested through November and December.
• Made in USA, designed and 3D printed in-house in Wisconsin.

Install (drop-on, 20 seconds):

1. Reach up to the top-downward blind poles inside your blind (the two poles that go from the hub center down toward the floor corners).
2. Position the hanger below the poles with the channels facing up.
3. Push the hanger straight UP. The angled slide on each back arm guides the poles into the channels automatically.
4. Release. Bar hangs from the poles. Load your bow on the center hook, release aid on the outer stubs.

To remove: pull straight down and forward. The bow slides off the center hook silently, and the bar releases the poles cleanly.

The bow ends up in the corner, not in your lap. It rides the top-downward blind poles, which run from the center hub out toward the blind's corners, so a 30 inch bow hangs off to the side instead of in the space you sit in. A hanger that clamps low or mid-pole puts the bow across your knees for the whole sit.

It stays where you put it. The channel grips the pole across its full 19mm depth rather than pinching one spot, so the bar does not walk down the pole over a morning. Lift it to move it, and it comes off clean.

One size, not a separate part per pole. Other sellers make you pick a 9mm version or an 11mm version, and you find out you guessed wrong after it ships. One channel here takes anything from 1/4 in up to 9/16 in.
