Anyone ever use one of these? I'm interested in one for the late archery season here. I would like to hear from someone who has shot recurves/longbows from one. Thanks for your help.

There is a guy, Don Schultz, that makes his own and although he uses a compound, there should not be any difference in shooting a recurve with one on. Check out some of the old threads on the leatherwall. Dick

I'm no help here (doesn't get cold enough for something like that in MS), other than saying practice in the same clothes you hunt it. A coat, coveralls, face mask, etc. can make things feel different, and you don't want to have to figure it out when the moment of truth comes!

Dick, how the heck are ya? Haven't seen you in a while, and if you made it to Cloverdale I missed you there too. Reckon you will make it next year? If you do, stop by and pull up a seat.

Chad,
I missed Cloverdale this year. I've been heavily involved with Chicago Bowhunters as Membership Chairman and married off one daughter this summer. I'll see everyone next year! Dick

My buddy back in michigan has one, He is a wheelie guy and he likes it. But it has caused him to miss a few deer. I don't think from talking to him that I would spend the money. IMO To much movement to get ready for the shot. Now if you were in a box blind or something like that Id say go for it.
