ABSTRACT:
The invention provides a portable bow holder which is removably attached to a tree or other vertical support. The device has an arm that is adjustable in length and is capable of rotating horizontally around the point of attachment so that the holder may be aimed in varying directions around the hunter. A bow hook for holding the bow is also adjustable in a vertical plane to allow the hunter to position the bow at the proper height. In a preferred embodiment, the arm of the device automatically retracts out of the hunter's line of vision when the weight of the bow is removed, thereby enhancing the hunter's opportunity to successfully target the prey. Preferably, the rate of retraction of the arm can be adjusted by the hunter by rotating a hydraulic cylinder attached to both the arm and body of the device. The device also requires little movement by the user and therefore promotes a success hunt and hunter safety. The device further provides flexibility in use since different embodiments allow placement of the device either under or above the user.
