Title: Kwik Lok Arrow Holder
Post by: recurvehunt on September 01, 2014, 08:07:00 PM
Have seen many of pictures with folks hanging their bows while on stand while utilizing the kwik lok arrow holder on their bow to hold the nocked arrow on the shelf.  Then once you draw the kwik lok releases the arrow...

So I bought one and have tried to install on both a Great Plans TD Recurve and a TimberGhost TD Hybrid, but am finding that the angle of the wood on the riser as it leads to the shelf is such that the adhesive portion of the kwik lok isn't long enough to grab enough of the riser to stick on their sufficiently while down at shelf height.  

Am I making sense? Relevant issue or am I doing something wrong?

Try the Perfect Arrow Holder from Grayling Outdoor, it's the best one that I have found.

Josh... If I'm feeling insecure about an accessory
that has self adhesive, I'll clean it good with a thinner then put my own adhesive on it. I usually choose a contact cement for this job.
Then I'll sometimes put a Duct Tape patch over it.

I've come to like using a toothpick and rubber band arrow holder with my smaller riser bows. I don't know if there is a how to in that forum, but you could look. I'm sure someone will have the info.

I usually have to angle the holder down and trim the "shoulders" off at a 45 degree angle but you should be able to make it work.

Love the Kwik- same problem. . . .Strange on a beautiful bow I know, BUT a couple pieces of duct tape holds mine all season.

Here's a tip for the KWIK, put a piece of Velcro on the back of it and the other piece on the bow, you can also put on other bow by adding the Velcro on it.

10-4 on angling it and trimming the shoulders. Can probably make that work.

The perfect arrow holder looks like a good design as well without issue above.

Thanks for the ideas!
