Any suggestions for a bow holder for in the turkey blind? I realized that's fairly important after hunting without one. Are the bowstix worth the money? Or just get something that stakes into the ground?

Just bought a set it bow stix a few weeks ago and I love them. A must have in grind blind and hunting from ground
 
These are what I use. You can buy them at Bass Pro in Des Moines relatively cheap hang them on a rod on the roof of your blind plus it swivels.
 
I use a hook out of a bungee strap... hang it on the roof... I do also have sticks that you can push into the ground to hold it, just never seem to adjust quite right for me

I gave up on the ground stakes too…a real pain. I fashioned up a couple of hooks similar to the bungee idea and my son and I each threw 1 in our backpacks. We hunt from several different blinds that are set up throughout most of the season in key areas, so this way we always have the hanger with us.

I use the push into ground one. Bow is completely off the ground/mud if you happen to pop up your blind every time. Suppose you could set your can on something instead of bar ground with the expensive sticks route

I use a cheap ground stake, but have considered using something like the bow stix. Seems I always have to put mine in the ground at an angle to counter the weight of the bow, so it doesn't fall forward. I have the Bow Jaws for my hang on stands (has rotating fork to adjust the angle of the bow), but never got a ground stake for it since I already had this other one. Also, I've sometimes had trouble getting the bow out of the ground stake if I don't rotate it enough to let the limb clear the fork of the stake, but I suppose that is just user error (usually caused by focusing more on the animal coming in and rushing). My blind has/had a hanger of some sort built in, but I've never used it and actually don't know if it is still there or not. Don't think I really trusted it to hold the bow and also thought the blind might shake when trying to unhook it. Bought it several years ago so don't remember exactly why I never started using it.
 
I prefer to grind my into the dirt, and then sometimes poke holes in the side of my blind if I leave an arrow loaded.
