Improve Your Bowhunting Success!
The Compound Bow Rest and Holder ( the boom support
system shown in the top pictures) serves the same purpose as a shooting rail
does for a rifle. It acts as a bow stabilizer by steadying your bow
while aiming and firing. Unless you have nerves of steel, when that
monster buck appears your heart pounds, your breathing becomes quick and
shallow, and your hands shake. Don't take the chance of missing, or
wounding your game. With the stabilizing effect of the Compound Bow
Rest and Holder you are sure to make a clean kill.
But the Compound Bow Rest and Holder is a lot more than
just a bow stabilizer or steady rest. It is also a bow holder that
holds your bow out in front of you, arrow nocked, while waiting for
game, allowing you to keep your hands warm. It minimizes
movement which spooks game. When game appears you just grab the handle, draw and shoot right in the
Compound Bow Rest and Holder. The
boom swings to allow aiming over a wide area, and body movement
(rising somewhat from a sitting position) allows aiming from
about 8
yards to infinity from a tree stand. If game is outside of the
aiming area, simply lifting the bow silently disengages it from the
bow rest. The bow attaches to the Compound Bow Rest and Holder at the riser
so it does not affect the trajectory of the arrow.
Jump Start Your Archery Ability
If you are new to shooting the compound bow, the Compound Bow Rest and
Holder can significantly shorten the learning curve to sufficient
proficiency for bowhunting. The completely unrehearsed video shows the
results of spending one hour with a total beginner setting up the Compound
Bow Rest and Holder, giving basic archery instruction, and setting the bow
sights to his eye. Then he shot 10 successive arrows, five without the
Compound Bow Rest and Holder and then five with it at 21 yards. Watch
the video to see the results.

For beginning archers, the Compound Bow Rest & Holder
can be an excellent training aid. By setting up the Bow Rest &
Holder on a tree or pole at ground level, the beginner can concentrate
on form rather than having to worry about holding the bow steady.
He can know that his sights are on target, so if his arrow misses the
mark it must be due to bow setup or improper form.
Impaired hunters often use a
draw lock (also called a
drawlock or draw keep) to
allow them to participate in archery and bowhunting because it
can be drawn with both hands. A draw lock holds a bow in
full draw until a trigger is actuated. The problem is
the drawn bow is very large and clumsy to handle. Also,
those who are not strong enough to pull a hunting bow in the
traditional manner have trouble holding a bow steady while
aiming and firing. The Compound Bow Rest and Holder solves
both problems by providing a convenient spot to hang the drawn
bow and also taking the weight of the bow and archer's arm so
he can aim effortlessly.

If
at 15 yards you cannot hold your sights within the bulls eye of a
target for at least a second without wandering off, the Compound Bow
Rest and Holder absolutely will increase your shooting
accuracy. And by taking the weight of your arm and bow it not
only stabilizes or steadies the bow while aiming and firing, it allows
you to relax at full draw so that you can hold a draw much
longer. This can be very helpful in situations where you have to
wait for a deer to come within range or to present a favorable stance
for the shot. What other hunting equipment can do that?
For those hunters that are loosing strength
with age (we all do), the Compound Bow Rest and Holder is a
God send. My own experience is typical. After
hunting a number of years with a 65# bow I had to
gradually adjust the draw weight down to 60# for practice and
55# for hunting at about 60 years of age. At 65 not only
did I have to reduce the draw weight to 50#, I could no
longer hold my sights steady on a target. I was jerking
the trigger of the release when the sights wandered over the
bulls eye. As you can imagine, my accuracy diminished
considerably. I completely missed a few deer and wounded
one in the leg. I was about to give up on bow hunting
when I had this idea of making a steadying device, and the
Compound Bow Rest and Holder was born. I set it up in
the yard and found it restored my shooting accuracy by
taking the weight of my bow and arm and stabilizing the bow
while aiming and firing. That was 8 years ago, and I
have not missed a deer since I started using the Bow Rest and
Holder. I use it both for practice and hunting.
I must confess that for the last 2 years I
used the
Lock-a-Draw draw lock for hunting. With my bow
cranked down to its lowest draw weight, 47#, I could no longer
pull my bow after sitting in a tree stand for a couple hours
due to arthritis in my shoulders. I applied for a draw
lock permit, designed a draw lock that is bowhunting friendly
and used it along with the Bow Rest to harvest four deer (my
limit each year). When using the Bow Rest and
Lock-a-Draw in combination very little movement is involved in
getting a shot off, and no sound at all. The deer have
been totally unaware of me until they got hit.
