    Yes it is. I like it a lot. Not necessarily ideal for hauling in camera gear, but it works pretty slick.

    Only other hiccup is that my bow is a bit tight fitting because I have a long site. There's a hole for your stabilizer, but my site is just as long.

    Happy Halloween! :rock:

    21* out this morning. Still might drop a couple. Skies are clearing with a high near 34. NW winds at 5 mph. Should be a good day to sit in the Tri-Pine Stand on Whistler's Ridge. That's the stand my brother shot Blade from. Just need to throw together food and cider for the all day sit.

    See you all in the stand!

    It varies greatly. 20-60+ min I'd guess.

    Good luck today! Just curious, why do you choose to have your quiver mounted on your bow upside down?
