Title: Arrow Holders?
Post by: Eugene Slagle on May 12, 2010, 09:19:00 AM
I've been thinking of a arrow holder for hunting but have been reluctant in getting one & thought to ask y-all what opinions y-all have of em.

I'm thinking of the Kwik-Lok arrow holder to put on my Zona & maybe even the Zona that I have in the making.

Pros?
Cons?

Never used one so info would be appreciated.

I've been using Sta-jacs for more than 30 years.  The best arrow holder available, IMO. Can slip the mounting bracket under the grip leather, or put a piece of leather over it to affix it to the bow, or easiest yet, put a piece of double backed tape on the bracket and affix it to the riser.  Of course, the mounting bracket also has holes in it for those who have metal risers and various mounting holes.

The problem with the quick loc is that sometimes one of the mounting arms gets in the way of the thumb, and that same lower mounting arm, because of its position on what may be a curved surface, often doesn't stay affixed.

I use the Kwik-Lok and love it. It has a piece of spring steel in it so it springs out of the way when you draw. Works great.

I have been using the Kwik-Lok arrow holders for more than 45 years. Sometimes I have to trim the piece that attaches to the riser bur it always works.

bought a bow back in the early 80's that had one didnt care for it, but to each his own. If it works for you, use it.
