Has anyone had their hands on this? Wondering how well it works and how easy it is to install on non-lwcg stands/platforms.
 
I’m a big fan but of lwcg but man 50$. Third hand is 19$ and it doesn’t pivot…. Idk
 
You know it’s going to be high coming from lwcg lol. The features of it swiveling in and at only 3.5oz make it worth looking at I think.
 
Got me two of these.
Ya want the best equipment
ya get what ya pay for.
third hand us great but it weighs as much as a brick and-it protrudes quite a but.

I’m a huge fan of all their stuff. Been called. A fan bow a lot of times, however not being able to pivot the bow forward or back seems like a big Limfac
 
I bought two also. The third hand one is heavy as hell and gets caught on EVERYTHING walking through the woods.
 
Yeah but you have to drill into your Treestand to attach it... I realize that after I purchased one :tearsofjoy:, unless you just order a LWCG stand today they will come pre-drilled.

No you don’t have to drill. The new LWCG comes with bosses like the grommet ports.

Comes with crush washers for mounting to other stands at the corner of perpendicular rungs.

Hope you’re right, I would hate to have my new v3 with my spot Hogg triple stack fall out of the tree because my stand isn’t drilled...

Just ordered one this morning and wanted to puke at the price. But, hopefully better than the brick Third Hand I have on now (which also doesn't attach the nicest with the smallest nuts ever). I'm most worried about not being to able to adjust the forward/back angle.
 
The forward and back lack of adjustment is what has me worried as well Since not every bow is built the same way and the drastic difference between compounds and trad and how they sit in holder I’ll be curious to see what everyone says
 
The O Rings are what make the finger spread to suitable for varied limbs, cams, etc (if that makes sense but I know my description sucks)

O rings won't matter much (Third Hand doesn't need any type of ridge for different width limbs). What does matter is each bow's limbs sit at a different angle and the LWCG has no adjustment for forward or backward tilting of the fork.
