I have a pair of the twist lock and i have had issues with them, the flip lock looks like a better set up. I use them hiking since I have had both ankles replaced. Great for adding balance and taking the stress off when going down hill or giving me a boost up when going up a steep hill. I haven't tried them with a bow in hand, I'll have to experiment on that, good thread Joe.

Bryan and I each have a set that we used when back packing with the scouts. I highly recommend you get a set. Mine are the cheapest ones from REI and Bryan just got his from wally world. Both are just fine. While hunting in AK with Dick Robertson he always used both of his and had his 2 piece self bow broken down and in his otter quiver. It worked very well for him.

I also just use one when hunting, 2 when packing. I bought a Swiss Gear pole in 2000 from Walmart for less than $10 and have used it for many hundreds of miles. The newer ones are not as good though. My son bought a pair from Dick's Sporting goods last year for $25 and they are really nice. I am sure the more expensive ones are a bit lighter and maybe stronger but the cheaper ones fit my budget and needs better.

Whip, Get one and use it while doing 3-D shoots to see how well it would work. That should give some practice on how you would like to carry the bow and pole.
