Abstract
Abstract A Bow Hanger for archery bows includes steel plate members and a hook within the members. The steel plate members are separated to receive an upper bow limb between two plate members. Each plate member has a pair of holes for receiving screws. Wing nuts are threaded on the screws to retain the hook and plate members in position on the bow. The hook and plate members are positioned onto the bow such that the hook may be adapted to receive a stationary object, thus, vertically suspending the bow from a stationary object when the bow is momentarily not in use.
