Affirmative on the stay-jac, but I am on my last one, been using the kwik-loc for years also,  never had a problem with either.

     Wouldn't be in a tree stand without one!!

Thanks, I traded a nice rifle for it with a good friend. We both made out although I shoot the bow a lot and the rifle went from being a safe queen in my safe to his safe.

Ha!  I think there are lots of rifles that do that!  I've owned several of his bows, and I am currently shooting a 60" Mentor that he had as a shop bow for sale when I called him to ask about something.  His bows just seem to work for me, something about the way his grips feel, perhaps.  Anyway, yours is very nice.

For those that need a solution to rest, carpet and arrow holding devices when they need to remove them or the glue starts to fail here is a simple solution - go to Wal Mart, Lowe's or Home Depot and get double sided carpet tape.  Comes in a roll like duct tape.  I use it to build out side window and shelf material and for arrow holding devices like Quick Lock

Been using the Kwik-Lok on my bows for over 20yrs.With some bows I have to trim the part that sticks to the bow so that it doesn't interfere with the grip. I haven't had one fall off. I usually releasy it with my finger when I have a deer coming into shooting range, but they do automatically release within the first inch of drawing the arrow.

kwik lok on my bow. I remove it after the hunting season so I secure it with electrical tape since the double back tape on it looses it's strength after removing it a few times.

I use a Grayling Outdoor perfect arrow holder. Basically the same as a Sta Jac holder. It is efficient and silent.

For the other 3-under shooters, make sure you disengage the holder before you start your draw. Unless you have snap nocks that are tight, the holder will pull your arrow off of the string.

I tried a Kwik Lock some years back.  Works great but for some reason I stopped using them.  They seem to go away with the bows.  

First time I used on I put it on backwards and when I drew the bow it popped the arrow nock off!  :o    Lucky it was not on game!

Good folks on here......Kip showed pics of his home made arrow lock, sent me a pm for my address, then sent me one to try. I like what I see.....I will try it and then most likely copy it for me and my friends......thanks Kip!!

Ron,
Tried to post on this last night, the picture site was giving me headaches, so it didn't happen. Tonight though, it seems to be working, so here goes,

 

This is the improved arrow holder, it does require a small hole to be drilled, but is practically fool proof.
Thanks,
Tim

Ron Kwk-Lok no problems. If my heart doctor knew how excited I get when deer are in range he would not want me hunting. Good Lock this season Dan
