No bulky arms.
No straps to manage.
No metal to clank.
Why This Works
Always with you
Collapses flat and rides in your pocket — not strapped to the outside of your pack where it catches on every branch.
Ultralight at 3.7 oz
The lightest complete bow hanging system for public land hunters. Everything you need, nothing you don't.
Silent by design
No metal-on-metal contact. No unnecessary noise. Paracord or Amsteel — you choose what works for your setup.
Fast setup
Hang your bow and gear in seconds. No adjustments. No fumbling with straps. No fuss.
Built to hold your gear
Strong where it matters. Simple everywhere else. Holds your compound bow, crossbow, or rifle plus all your essential gear.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are bow hangers legal on public land?
Screw-in bow hangers damage trees and are illegal on most public hunting land. The Wayward Wire uses paracord or Amsteel to hang from tree branches without damaging bark or leaving permanent marks — making it 100% public land legal.
How much weight can the Wayward Wire hold?
The Wayward Wire safely holds compound bows (4-5 lbs), crossbows (7-8 lbs), rifles (8-10 lbs), and hunting packs (15-20 lbs). The upper limit for recommended weight capacity is 45lbs.
What's the quietest bow hanger for hunting?
The Wayward Wire is silent by design — no metal-on-metal contact, no clanking arms, no rattling buckles. The 3D-printed hanger and soft cordage eliminate noise that spooks game.
How do you set up the Wayward Wire?
1. Wrap cordage around tree branch or trunk
2. Use quick hitch device to secure
3. Hang your bow and gear
Total setup time: under 30 seconds.
Is this 3D printed?
Yes. 3D printing is the best medium for ultralight hunting gear — lighter than metal alternatives, silent (no metal clanking), and backed by our lifetime warranty. If it breaks, we replace it.
