I just recieved mine for my B-day this last weekend and my first chance to try it out was today. Let me say that the quality and workmanship is excellant. The only problem is, is that it doesn't seem to work very well with my Patriot. Since the Limbs on the Pat are more of a horizontal nature, you have to put the Bowholder in the ground at a 45 dgr. angle and it doesn't really seem that sturdy doing this because of the wieght the Bow exerts on the holder. It was used on dry gound and I can only assume that when the ground is moist or wet, the holder will come right out of the ground with the wieght of the bow. I haven't put it on my stand yet, but I believe with my bow, it will have to lean so far forward and down low, that it will it will be virtually impossible to use.
Please don't think I'm knocking your product, it really is a good bowholder, it just won't work well with the Pat. I am getting my wife a new hoyt sapphire in a few weeks and I'll see if it works better for her.
