    Default Team Realtree EZ Hanger Bow Holders

    Just a quick inquery..

    I had one of these, and the darn thing twisted clean off at the 1st. joint on the 3 arm Model...



    My question is, has this piece of equipment been improved or should I be looking at something else to hang my bow on ?? ...

    Any Input would be greatly appreciated and soon because I need to replace the one I had...

    I have the standard one and it's ok unless the wind is blowing hard and then it wants to twist.

    Luke get the two arm model, long. I have three of these that I use during the archery season. No problems yet!

    I've always used the 3 arm model, but I always have the darndest time getting it into the tree. Any hints on making that easier?

    But the arms on mine have never given me troubles.

    i carry one of those 99 cent bow holder hooks in my pack (also use that to hang my backpack up), if i have a hard time getting my e-z hanger started, i use the bow hook to start off the hole, the e-z hanger usually catches right away after that.

    Dont have any of the three arm models Luke. Did buy two more of the long two arm models for this year though. Never had any problems out of the one I was using last year or out of the other hangers I was using from gorilla.

    I have the two arm model, and i would not climb a tree without one. I had one break off in a tree one time(because i decided i would just jerk it out instead of pulling it ), but have had no other problems
    I figure God only gave me so many sunrises, I might as well not miss one.

    I have the 3 arm model and have had no problems with mine yet. But I bought the same exact one as a gift for my brother-in-law and he used it one time and one of the bolts busted right in half the first time he opened the arms. A simple bolt replacement and new nut did the trick. No problems since then. They are a handy tool. Good luck this season with it.
    Happy Hunting

    I would say the 2 arm model is the way to go. I have the Gorilla version and it's a 2-arm and works great.

    I have a few of these as well. No problems so far. I would not bowhunt without one now. Maybe you got a lemon?

    Thats what Im think too Jim..

    I just picked up another one at the bow shop tonite, and got a starter bit as well .. Not a bad deal either the both together only cost me $20.00 ,, can't beat that deal ..

    THANKS for all of the input folks ..
