The apparatus comprises a rod member having a predetermined shape and formed of a first predetermined material. A screw member is engageable intermediate each end of the rod member for attaching the rod member to a tree, and there is at least one holder attached to at least one end of the rod member for holding an arrow. The at least one holder is formed of a second predetermined material. ## Claims ### Claim 1 An apparatus for use by a bow hunter using a tree stand to hunt, said apparatus comprising: (a) a rod member having a predetermined shape and formed of a first predetermined material, said rod member having a substantially flat base portion and an arm extending outwardly from each end, in a same direction, of said substantially flat base portion; (b) a screw member engageable intermediate each end of said substantially flat base portion of said rod member for attaching said rod member to a tree, said screw member disposed on an opposite side of said flat base portion than said arm extending outwardly from each end; and (c) at least one holder attached to at least one end of each said arm member for holding an arrow, said at least one holder being formed of a second predetermined material. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The apparatus, according to claim 1, wherein said predetermined shape of said rod member is a block C-shape. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) The apparatus, according to claim 2, wherein said block C-shaped rod member is disposed on such tree so that such arrow disposed therein is secured in a substantially vertical plane with point of such arrow up. ### Claim 4 (depends on 2) The apparatus, according to claim 2, wherein said screw member is disposed substantially at a mid point of a center portion of said base portion of said block C-shaped rod member. ### Claim 5 (depends on 2) The apparatus, according to claim 2, wherein said block C-shaped rod member is between about 1¾ inches and about 2¼ inches in length. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The apparatus, according to claim 1, wherein said first predetermined material is metal. ### Claim 7 (depends on 6) The apparatus, according to claim 6, wherein said metal is steel. ### Claim 8 (depends on 6) The apparatus, according to claim 6, wherein said second predetermined material is an elastomeric material. ### Claim 9 (depends on 8) The apparatus, according to claim 8, wherein said elastomeric material is selected from one of plastic, natural rubber, synthetic rubber and various combinations thereof. ### Claim 10 (depends on 9) The apparatus, according to claim 9, wherein said second predetermined material is synthetic rubber. ### Claim 11 (depends on 1) The apparatus, according to claim 1, wherein said apparatus is colored in one of a natural coloring and camouflage coloring. ### Claim 12 (depends on 11) The apparatus, according to claim 11, wherein said apparatus is colored in camouflage coloring. ### Claim 13 (depends on 1) The apparatus, according to claim 1, wherein said screw member is between about 1¾ inches and about 2¼ inches in length. ### Claim 14 (depends on 1) The apparatus, according to claim 1, wherein said apparatus from a tip of said screw member to an outer end of said holder is between about 3½ inches and about 4½ inches in length. ### Claim 15 (depends on 14) The apparatus, according to claim 14, wherein said apparatus from said tip of said screw member to said outer end of said holder is between about 3⅞ inches and about 4⅛ inches in length. ### Claim 16 (depends on 1) The apparatus, according to claim 1, wherein both arms extending outwardly from said each end of said base portion are substantially parallel. ### Claim 17 In combination with a tree stand the improvement comprising an apparatus for use by a bow hunter using said tree stand, said apparatus including, (a) a rod member having a predetermined shape and formed of a first predetermined material, said rod member having a substantially flat base portion and an arm extending outwardly from each end, in a same direction, of said substantially flat base portion; (b) a screw member engageable intermediate each end of said substantially flat base portion of said rod member for attaching said rod member to a tree, said screw member disposed on an opposite side of said flat base portion than said arm extending outwardly from each end; and (c) at least one holder attached to at least one end of each said arm member for holding an arrow, said at least one holder being formed of a second predetermined material.
