A device of comprising:

• a first portion configured for attachment to a bow;
• and
• a second portion configured for attachment to the first portion, the second portion having a distal tip opposite the first portion and configured for insertion into the ground or a stand;
• an adjustment element, the adjustment element structured to reversibly and adjustably connect the first portion to the second portion;
• and
• an attachment mechanism structured to reversibly and adjustably attach the device to the bow,
• wherein the device is structured to retain the bow above the ground without the bow touching the ground;
• and
• wherein the adjustment mechanism is disposed in a first slot and a second slot, the first slot defined through and extending axially along the first portion, and the second slot defined through and extending axially along the second portion, and wherein the adjustment element is disposed in the first slot and the second slot.

An apparatus comprising:

• a first portion having a first slot defined therein;
• a second portion having a second slot defined therein, the second portion disposed adjacent the first portion such that the first slot and the second slot at least partially align, wherein the second portion includes a proximal end and a distal end, the proximal end disposed adjacent the first portion and the distal end terminating in a tapered distal tip, the distal tip configured to retain the apparatus in the ground or in a stand;
• an adjustment element disposed in the first slot and the second slot, the adjustment element structured to adjustably secure the first potion to the second portion;
• an attachment mechanism disposed in the first slot and the second slot, the attachment mechanism structured to adjustably secure the first portion and the second portion to a bow;
• and
• a peg attached to the second portion at or near the distal end,
• wherein the apparatus is configured to retain bow attached thereto in a substantially vertical position when the distal tip is inserted into the ground or the stand.

A system comprising:

• a bow configured to shoot arrows;
• a device, the device comprising:
• a first portion including an attachment aperture;
• a second portion configured for attachment to the first portion, the second portion having a distal tip at or near a distal end of the second portion opposite the first portion, the distal tip configured for insertion into the ground or a stand;
• an adjustment element disposed in the first slot and the second slot, the adjustment element structured to adjustably secure the first potion to the second portion;
• an attachment mechanism disposed in the first slot and the second slot, the attachment mechanism structured to adjustably secure the first portion and the second portion to a bow;
• and
• a peg attached to the second portion at or near the distal end, wherein the device is structured to retain the bow above the ground without the bow touching the ground.
