Big decision

I decided that I am going to order a bow rest from 3rd hand. I have been adamant about holding my bow at all times while in the stand but this season I am relenting. I have used a TR revolution the last 4 years and it is mechanical so over the years of use the odds of a failure get higher. I decided to go with a vapor trail rest so I am losing the full containment. 3rd hand has a bow holder that will hold my bow exactly as I would design it for myself. I will review it once I use it to hunt.

 

Keep us posted Sota.

 

Which vapor trail you going with? Also might want to consider the Trophy Taker smack down pro. It's limb driven too. But I do like Vapor Trail Pro V

 

Thanks Sota. I'm In need of a good bow holder.cant wait to hear it.

 

Cool! Keep us posted man!

 

I have been using one on my Lone Wolf Sit and Climb wide and like it. Ignore my ugly mug but this is how it keeps my bow. It's back a little but can't move it any farther forward on my stand. I only took this pic because a button buck was behind me for almost an hour, but I totally missed getting the deer in the pic LOL.



Edit: here is where it is mounted on my stand:

 

Bought one about a week ago for my mobile set up. Haven't put it on yet but seems pretty solid. I would've liked it to be a little lighter, though.

 

Not sure of the vapor trail model, I printed up the sheet on the model and checked my bowshop and they stock them so I will figure out the exact model when I bring my bow in for it's yearly inspection. I like the fact that the 3rd hand holds the bow right there actually less movement than when I held the bow in my lap.

 

This is the Vapor Trail Pro V.

 

Yes that is the one.

 

Are we talking about an Arrow Rest and a Bow holder?

 

Yeah I am getting the bow holder because of the new arrow rest.

 

10-4. I'm in line now.

 

I am completely happy with my TR Revolution but it is 4 years old and mechanical so it needs to be replaced.

 

u hold ur bow all sit? so ten hours straight?

 

Keep us posted Sota!

 

I was expecting a life changing decision you were looking to make...not how your are going to hang your bow

 

Tom I have the exact same thing for breakfast and lunch every day I always go to the same gas pump at SA, I am pretty OCD so switching equipment is a big thing to me.

 

I had the Third Hand on my Lone Wolf Hand Climber. It didn't really work for me because it ate up so much room I couldn't move around the platform for shots to the sides or behind me. Did you secure yours to the seat part?

 

Have not purchased one yet, I won't hunt till November so I have time.
