Yes, i have one, they are excellent for practising but you need to wear a finger sling or hold on to the bow well because they jump forward a bit.

Thanks

I see quicks sell one for half the price called the exerset, is it similar

[pyroarch57]

It looks pretty much the same and this one has the bracket included in the price.

There is one major difference. With Exerset Trainer you need to remove the arrow rest to secure the device to the bow. This becomes tedious after a while and I gave up on it after a while. It would be different if you has a spare bow and left it fixed all the time.

Yes, you have to do the same with the vibracheck, but i think they do a bracket which allows you to keep the rest on. But that`s more cost.

The Exerset is similar but does not stand up to use with a compound bow. I had one on my spare bow shooting about 45# max. The nylon plunger jammed in the tube because it was a bit of a loose fit. Quicks did refund my money. Go for the VibraCheck. I saw them getting well used at the VibraCheck stand in Atlantic City; all on compounds.

We've got one of the Vibrachecks from The Archery Company.

They're really good. As said earlier, get the bracket which saves removing the arrow rest - it'll save lots of messing around.

It is very strange though to go through your shot sequence in you living room aiming at a wall a few feet away.

Good Shooting,

can you get these for recurves as well?

My Vibracheck has had a ton of use and it`s still going strong. The only annoying thing about it is the fact that every so often it works loose at its fixing bolt and needs tightening. But having the bracket will probably solve that.
