Lightweight and gold bow secure. Small enough to put anywhere in a ground blind and keeps bow ready.

Sturdiest of the ground blind type bow holders - stick it in the ground, balance bow & lock it in place with the 2 allen screws ...Would be perfect if the bowholder rods were a little bit longer for wider limb bows, but it does work fine the way it is - holds my V3 31 perfectly, with no worries of falling over ...Great little product HME - thanks again !!!

Great product. I actually tried the extendable hook and the hub style rack with the bow holder and accessory hooks, both by HME also. The hook just didn’t sit right and was kind of in the way in the blind. The one with the hooks worked better, but with the bow in place, you couldn’t get to anything that was on the hooks.The ground stake is much better. I really like this and it works well both in the blind and when practicing in the yard. You can put it anywhere.I only wish it came in a taller size as an option too. Maybe about 4-6” taller.Great product and I recommend it!!UPDATE: I used it last hunting season in my blind. Worked GREAT. No deer though, oh well. My bow was right there at the ready if I needed it. Only complaint is that the set screws do tend to come loose. I can either tighten the crap out of them, or use Locktite. I still recommend this product.

Great for the ground blind and backyard shooting! Helps to have two sets of hands one to hold the bow in position and one to tighten the holder. Digs in the ground easy and stays in place.

Works well as long as you carry the allen key with you. Should have a storage pouch for it or somewhere to store it.

This bow stand works ok for my Mission Hype bow. Took some work to get the angle of the fork right, but once it was set it has worked good t holding the bow. because of other reviews about the fork turning and dropping the bow, I used my own long allen wrench to tighten the set screws and have not had any problem with it.

These HME Products Archer's Ground Stakes are PERFECT!They are extremely well constructed of heavy duty materials, insert easily into the ground and come back out just as easily. The plastic coating on the forked part where the bow actually rests makes damage to your bow's finish nearly impossible and insures the bow remains securely in place. The actual stake pieces drive deep enough into the ground that bows are VERY well supported and the 360 degree adjustability makes it simple to set them up to your liking. All of this and they are still small enough to toss in our bow cases making them very easy to transport. Once I had mine adjusted to an angle of my liking I never touched it again. It comes out of my case and into the ground and holding my bow in less than 5 seconds every time. And when I'm done it's out of the ground and back in my case in equal time or less.Absolutely LOVE this product and would HIGHLY recommend it to anybody looking for a simple means of securely supporting your compound bow outdoors.

I bought this product for hunting in my ground blind. I have a Bear Element split limb(If I'm referring to it correctly) bow.I used the product for the first time today. The ground was firm loam. The product held my bow at the perfect height and angle for GB hunting.Pros:It works. It's cheap. It can be carried in your arrow quiver(heavy, but cool).Cons:It's heavy. While it fits in your quiver, its weight often makes if fall out.It's far from a precision device(sloppy pivot). Cheesy set screws, which I feel will wear out soon. You'll want/need to carry the allen key with you.UPDATE: I lowered my rating from 4 to 3 stars (and my title, "great" to "OK") because the cam lock design really does not work. It is constantly loose and moves. My bow fell on the ground this morning because of it. It's a good idea, but they should have spent an extra 10 minutes designing the mechanism.Also, the weight just makes it a pain to use. Should be aluminum.So, it's OK for occasional use.

I opted for this bow-holder because the fork that holds the limb is adjustable; I'm glad that I did, as I have a modern parallel limbed bow, and one can adjust this holder to any angle that one might need to hold a bow, regardless of style or construction. This holder is also very, very solidly built, and holds weight well even in soft earth. The height once inserted into the ground is also great. The forks that actually contact the bow's limb are covered with a hard rubber or plastic material to protect your limbs. This is fairly heavy for what it is, but that is fine as it is a reasonable trade-off for a substantially built product. It fits in my lumbar/assault pack that I use for bow-hunting, and isn't heavy enough that I really notice it.
