Can anyone give me a personal review of the Push Alpha Pack? I'm interested in buying one.

I've seen one, it's kind of big, haven't carried one, you are supporting the cause as much as getting a quiver. Other than that it's pretty much what you are seeing is what you are getting, they haven't been around long enough to know durability!

I've had one for about a month.  I quickly abandoned it as part of my treestand gear.  My hunts are usually just a couple of hours long and I have streamlined my gear over the years.  I can comfortably carry everything I need in the pockets of my safety vest and while it is a little cumbersome to access under my heavy winter coat, it works.  On the bottom of my Lone Wolf stand seat I have strapped a wicked tough tree saw and very small pack--just big enough to hold tags, pocket knife, bow rope in case its needed, and extra flashlight.
I found the alpha pack constantly in my way when climbing up or down the tree.  I carry my bow up in a third hand bow holder and the pack interfered with this when climbing.
Now when ground hunting I do like the pack---it holds pruning shears and gear well and I can strap my stool to the top of it for the walk in and out.  I think it will be really good for turkey hunting also---so I guess I'd have to upgrade my earlier grade of it to a B.  I believe it will get use in the woods---just not when I'm in the trees.
I believe it will be perfect for 3D shoots and stumping and allow me to carry a little water and a snack as well as function as a quiver.

I got one a couple weeks ago and love it.  I used it small game hunting last week and have worn it stump shooting and 3D shooting.  It is nice having everything off my back and streamlined.  I don't treestand hunt so I can't speak to that but it will definitely be my go to pack for hunts and shoots.  I like the fact that I can put essentials in it and still where a  pack for public land hike ins.  It lets me drop a pack and still have what I need right at hand.  Quality is top notch and I like to support Matt and Tim at The Push.

Gotta plug their P.A.C.K. online courses too.  Even for experienced archers there is a lot of good info there.

I hunt in South GA where its super hot when archery season begins.  I purchased mine for our early season hunts however I loved it so much that it stayed with me the whole season.   I now carry only what I need and maybe a few extras like a snack or water bottle depending on how long i sit, and a Thermacell based on time of year or temperature.  One of the main things I like about it is that everything is right there on my side and organized when I get into my stand.  Before when I carried a pack I would get in the tree and pull everything out.  I would then stuff my gear into pockets and get organized from there.  With the Alpha Pack I have all my gear right at my side.  I cannot wait to use it during turkey season as it is perfect for calls, strikers and essential turkey gear eliminating the need for a cumbersome vest.  Then also great for 3d shoots.  The only issue I had with it is the leg getting the leg strap adjusted correctly so it rode nicely on my side but that is very minor and probably just something learned over time based on use.  Overall the pack is a 10 out of 10 for the type of hunting that I do and the thing is built to last, quality is top notch.

I bought one after seeing them at ETAR last summer (took several months to get it)-- have been trying to trim down what I carry into the woods so I thought this smallish pack would help me do that. It is overbuilt, bombproof and well thought out in terms of pockets and other design features. However, I think it belongs more in the stump shooting woods or on the 3D range. I found it a tad too small for hunting, and it will hold a gob of blunts but not broadheads. Put too much heavy stuff in it, and it starts to get heavy and drag down the belt. Also, it's leg location gets in the way in the stand. So-- a great pack for a specific use, not a do-all. Worth owning, though, as an option. Roving quiver on steroids.

I know they ship internationally. They have been slammed with messages with the launch of the PACK online courses. I have an email address that they check regularly. I’ll post it tomorrow for you guys.  I know the Lancaster tournament is this weekend so they may be tied up.
