The present invention is an improved bow holder. An engagement member is provided to connect the holder with a hunter or a hunter's apparel or equipment. A spacing member extends outwardly and downwardly therefrom to a support member. The support member forms a generally open-topped support structure such as a trough or arms located below a hunter's waist to suspend a bow by supporting a generally taut bow string, thus allowing the bow handle to rest generally at a height near the hunter's free-hanging and naturally resting hand.
