For moderate use I would say yes. For thousands of shots. I would say no. Depends on how much you shoot. I started noticing a little play in mine, So I replaced it. It probably wore out as any other would. I shot it for 3 years. But I shoot about 4-5 nights per week for about 2 hours a night. It is a nice rest to shoot though. If I used it just for hunting it would probably still be o.k. Just the confidence thing on the 3-D range made me change.
