Every time I go to my stand, I spend five minutes untangling my pull up rope. Is there a method to keep a small rope untangled? I had a first today. I untangled my rope then climbed and got set up only to find that I forgot to attach my rope to my bow.

I bought a high oaks hunter its a brackett that fits on your treestand and holds your gun or bow no pull up rope ever needed again just used it 3 times so far this year but i love it

I have a Third Hand Archery pull up rope. Here are the "Tangle Free Instructions" for it:


Seems to work pretty well. Hope that helps.

Make about an 8" loop with about 80% of your rope then use the rest to wrap tightly around the loop.
Hint: parachute cord works best.

Yep like the illustration above. Problem solved.

Or buy a retractable dog leash. Fits nicely in backpack and never have to worry with it tangling. Attach, climb, pull up bow. Leash then retracts into convenient shell.

Just put a different pull up rope on all your stands so you don't have to carry it with you. Paracord ain't that expensive. On my climbers, I wrap it around the stand before I take it off the tree.

WTH??? Nobody uses a little stick anymore? Just pick up a stick wrap it around it and put it in your pocket.

I have a cinch up bag in my pack with my harness, pull up rope with carabiners and the assist strap if you fall. Need a better rope though, good one was stolen with a ladder stand last year.

Here is what I did, and it works fairly well:

I cut a thin piece of plywood into an approximate 6" x 2" rectangle, and cut a "V" into the 2" ends. I then drilled a hole through one of the ears of the V's that was just big enough for my paracord to fit through. I ran 12" or so of rope through that hole and tied a not on each side so the plywood won't slide any more, and tied a good snap hook on each end of my rope. I then wrapped my rope around the plywood into the V's. So when I need it I just unwrap the rope, and hook it up.

I bought a couple plastics hooks and duct tape them on the side rail of my summit. Then tied on one end of parachute cord and then wrap my pull rope around the hooks when the bow is up. I haven't untied that rope in about 8 years and never will forget it.

Good idea

I do this as well. Except I went and bought a 3 in boat cleet and attached it to my rail. I then just wrap my pull up rope around it and use it when I need it and it stays neat and out of the way.

All good ideas. Thanks all!

Best thing I've bought for pullin up stuff
