    Modern fingers bow?

    What do you intend to shoot with it? Indoors, 3D, hunt? I shoot a Mathews Apex7 for 3D a Rival Pro indoors. My hunting bow and probably favorite bow is my Drenalin LD. All with fingers. Also have Q2XL, MQ-1. All great bows.

    Beast stand or LWCG? Opinions please!

    So, you 2TC Mike? Even if so, I don't see how your not still carrying the same 5lbs of something the rest of us are to use when at hunting height...

    Beast stand or LWCG? Opinions please!

    I don't get any flex in the .75 seat post. You're a lot lighter I'm surprised you do. I do use 2x cam straps on the post (actually USA Pro) and that may be the difference. .5 was too small a platform to sit. More than half your feet hanging over the edge and to stand not much more room than...

    Arsenal Platform

    Has nothing to do with it. I havent owned a 2.0 but I see little in terms of design changes to fix seemingy the same inherent issues the first one had. No platform should take the amount of fiddle fooking to set securely on a tree while at 20+ feet in the dark and have confidence enough to hunt...

    Beast stand or LWCG? Opinions please!

    I've owned all of the stands which you've mentioned and am the similar OCD personality you describe when it comes to my gear. For a fixed stand the .75 with standard height post would be my choice for comfort and my hunting style and the areas I hunt. Which are mainly thick, tangles, swamps...

    I'm not a big bino guy as most places I hunt have less than 150yds visibility and I don't 3D shoot much anymore. But for anyone in the mkt for a harness this one has some pretty neat features. (Save for maybe the Cordura being a little noisy.)

    2024 Gear thread

    Not to fear monger or anything, but based upon what I've seen looking at photos of the stand, and the stick failure, I tend to agree. Nowhere near the thickness or bracing in that area that it needs IMO. I wouldn't want to be setting it on much other than a straight tree at my weight. Did you...

    I state the obvious when I say if this isn't an isolated incident that this product launch could amount to an enormous and costly flop. I don't think you can trust the consistency of cast aluminum, it's properties or its strength. Even older LW stands have seen failures. TL platforms I'll...

    And that taper on one side undoubtedly for the sake of weight savings and maybe aesthetics coupled with the recess for the rivet head was recipe for failure from the get go...

    Just climbing on it or with a little bounce test of it? Imagine that happening at 20'? Thanks for the time invested doing the leg work for us.

    Arsenal Platform

    Didn't buy a second one. The first was enough for me. Attachment point is too low on the post IMO. A USA Pro or reg cam buckle was better than the stock rope but no matter how tight to a tree it would do exactly what @Gator showed and there was flex when tight beyond the "batwing" bracket...

    Arsenal Platform

    Nope. Just the first one. Which if it didn't sell, I was ready to leave out at the mailbox with the rest of the trash. Prettiest looking non-performing platform of any I've tried yet and it looks like the new version is no better.
