Title: Arrow keeper identification help.
Post by: dresnor on September 02, 2018, 05:11:05 PM
Can anyone tell me the name of this arrow keeper? It came on my used Black Widow and it looks a little rough. I would like to get a replacement because I really like it.

I searched Google and could not find it. If it is discontinued, is there anything similar out there?

Thanks in advance,

Jeremy

I used one years ago on my wheel bow but I can't remember the name.

Sta-Jak. or something close to that. Still the best ever made in my opinion.

I believe that is a Sta-Jac holder.  Discontinued last I knew.

The one in the pic is somewhat modified. The metal that attaches to the bow was longer and was designed to be screwed in and mounted vertical.

Not sure of the mfg. But I've had one on my compound since 1985 and it still works fine.  Check the "Kwick-loc" 3rivers sells em. Used one on the recurve for years too.

Thanks guys! The search is on.

It is great to know you have been using one since 1985 and it is still fine. Howitser.

The Footed Shaft sells a similar one, minus the spring. It's called the "Perfect" Arrow Holder. Made by Grayling. About $5. Works well.

That is a Sta-Jac. They are not made any more, but you might find one on the big auction site if you lurk around there a while. I also use the "Perfect Arrow Holder" from Grayling Archery Products. It is very similar, works well, and still being made.

I'll second the Footed Shaft one, doesn't have the metal spring but works great!

Called a Sta-Jac.  I love mine. . . been using them for decades.  BUT BEWARE of Grayling and other similar arrow holders!  I have told the tale on TG many times. . . But I lost the 15 yd shot on a beauty PY buck because the plastic/material of the Grayling arrow holder got hard (non-pliable) in freezing temps.  When I went to draw the bow, the holder would not release the arrow shaft.  Hard to believe that something seemingly so trivial/minute could fail. . .  never use one again.
