    This X2.... Better than a pro pod cause it won't mar your limbs. My Tour fits better if I put the stand between the limbsaver and cam but I just stuck it on there for a quick pic. You get the idea.

    I use a hanging plant holder sticks in ground good just use some duct tape where your bow hangs so you do not mar it

    I put mine on the ground... haven't had any strings blow on me due to grass contact yet....

    Maybe target bows are less durable but I promise you a hunting bow can handle much greater abuse than what your lawn can dish out!

    I lay mine on the ground as well. No problems in the 9 years I have been shooting.

    I shoot from inside my garage cause thats close to my cooler so I just have a hook on the wall. But if I'm out shooting a 3D course or something I just make someone in my group hold it while the other guy gets the arrows. p.s. always shoot in a group with at least 2 people you could whip.

    It's like a bow holder on a tri-pod.....The stab on my Tour is touching the ground cause I just stuck it in the stand for a quick pic. If I had slid it on the stand right the stab isn't even close to touching.

    I will add that I lay my bows down on the ground a lot and only thing I've ever had was a bit of dirt maybe get on a screw or something. Never had a problem arise that I thought was caused by doing it tho.

    Really depends on the shots Im making or not making. Tight groups I gently lay it on the picnic table.. Sloppy groups and missis I just huck it over in the sand pit the kids play in. lol.

    Pro pod. Short stab it holds against the pockets with cam in the dirt. long stab it keeps the cam off the ground.
    No ifs and or buts Just maybee.

    I use a hook on my belt that holds the bow on my side. I also use this when I am hunting so I can use the binos. I recently started walking with a cane again and the hook holds the cane when I am shooting. Love the hook

    I guess that the people that dont put their bow on don't hunt elk or mule deer? Pretty impossible if you're belly crawling...
