It collapses flat, weighs 3.7 oz as a complete system, and hangs your bow and gear on the tree with no screw-in hardware. It comes in OD Green paracord or spliced Amsteel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat should I look for in a bow hanger for saddle hunting?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nIt should pack small enough to carry on every sit, set up fast and quiet at the tree, and hang your bow plus gear without screw-in hardware. The Wayward Wire weighs 3.7 oz, rides in a pocket, sets with a quick hitch in seconds, and has no metal-on-metal contact anywhere.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat comes with it?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nOne bow hanger, two gear hooks, one quick hitch device, and 7 ft of paracord or spliced Amsteel, depending on the version you pick. Nothing else is needed to hang your bow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the Wayward Wire legal on public land?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nIt does not penetrate the tree, so it is allowed on ground where screw-in hangers and tree steps are prohibited. Rules vary by state and by land manager, so check the regulations for the unit you hunt.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much weight will it hold?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nUp to 50 lb of bow and gear. It is not rated for body weight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I stand on it or climb with it?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nNo. It is not a climbing step and it is not rated for any body weight. It hangs a bow and gear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShould I get paracord or Amsteel?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nIf you do not want to replace the line for a long time, get Amsteel. It is spliced, does not stretch under load, and glides over bark without fraying better than paracord. If you want to save a few dollars and do not mind replacing paracord every couple of years, go paracord. Both come in 7 ft lengths and work the same way at the tree.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow does it attach to the tree?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nWith a trucker's hitch style quick hitch. Wrap the tree, run the line, pull it tight, and hang your bow. Pull it down and pocket it when you leave. No adjustments and no straps to manage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow big a tree will it fit?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nSeven feet of line wraps most trees you would hunt. On a very large trunk you will run short, which is the tradeoff for a system that fits in a pocket.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill it hold a crossbow or a rifle?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nYes. The bow hanger is built for a compound bow, crossbow, or rifle, and the two gear hooks handle your pack, binos, and calls.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs it quiet?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThere is no metal-on-metal contact in the system, which is where hanger noise usually comes from.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the warranty?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nLifetime and transferable on the hardware.
