What's Your Favorite Piece of Archery Gear?

[Bowhunter57]

No bows or arrows, just something you take with you, every time you go.

For me, it's a device called The Booger. I picked it up at the Deer & Turkey Expo, over 25 years ago, for $20. It's always in my gear bag and I never hunt without it. I've used it to retrieve a hat, single arrow, release, etc. Just tie it on my bow retrieval line, set it and drop it on the item, from about a foot over it. It'll grab hold, like a leg hold trap....but not as hard.

Out of all the crap I carry, I think this was the greatest invention since sliced bread. Having hunted the first half of my life with a recurve, fingers an no pins, then going to compound,
pins, blah blah blah, the weight difference was big.
This simple bow holder made all the difference.
How many times my hand an arm went numb from standing still for 15-20 min while deer milled around underneath my tree stand. More than once until this addition.

The older I get the less crap I take with me anymore.. Binoculars are my first choice. Bow holster would be #2 like Jim said they are really nice to have.

Milkweed pod and a backup pod one outside on my bino case and one inside just in case I run out.

Feel like I'm "blind" without it. You can think you know where the winds are going without it, with it you know.
