Just wondering how everyone keeps the arrow on their shelf while on stand.
I've seen the Kwik Lok Arrow Holder that 3 Rivers has. Does anyone use this? or some other method?
Thanks
Ken

I use my finger.

I use them, they work well for sitting in a tree

Kwik-loc never leave home without it. They work great.

Kwik Lok or Sta Jac holders work great and they are what I prefer.

A finger x2

I keep my bow in my lap so the arrow, for me, just sits on the riser. But from everything I've heard about the kwik-loc has only been good.

I use a 4"tip piece of an arrow and rubberband wrapped around the bow and arrow holding it. Works pretty good. It is quiet and pretty quick to remove and prepare for a shot.

Like Matthew, I just hold my bow on my lap so I don't use an arrow holder. I used Kwik Loks for years and they do work well. I prefer the look of a "clean" bow.

Can the Kwik-loc be removed without harming the bow finish?

I just started using a Kwick lock this year for the first time, works good. Before that, 20 years of lap or fingers.

I did blow a great opportunity at a doe in Ill because if it. I forgot about it and it pulled the arrow off the string. I then fumbled the arrow and it ended up falling to the ground. I t was a mental lapse worthy of a blooper film.

Take home message was: Remember to practice your "routine" so that when the eye of the tiger sets in, you don't forget to release the stupid thing.

Please consider the FTS Arrow Holder from Flemish Traditional Sports. It is the only fully removeable, weather-proof arrow holder made. It is totally quiet, reliable and it will not leave any marks or residue on your bow when you remove it. In fact, you only need one for all of your bows because of how easily it goes on and off your bow. Check it out on our website!

Me too. If I have to move, I put my finger on the arrow so it doesn't fall off the shelf while I re-positioned.

If I'm treestand hunting my arrow just rests on the shelf hanging on the hook. Wind gets me every once in a while.

Kwik Loc.

Be careful about "sta-jacs"- I had one whose rubber became rigid/hard in the cold- cost me a 14 yd shot at PY after sitting in a cold rain/snow all day. . . . 15 minutes left and argh!!! The "jac" would not let go of the arrow! (just imagine you get to full draw- only to see the nock end of the arrow "floating" in the air half between the riser and the string.)

Kwic Locs for me. Sta Jacs were good too, when you could find them.
