Knight & Hale Steady Ready Shooting Rest

This product is especially useful for older hunters and shooters with arm,shoulder and joint problems.

It helps steady my bow arm when sighting in a new sight on my bow. Pretty bulky. I don't think I will be wearing it in the climbing stand.

There is no way you can effectively hunt with this contraption, especially if bow hunting. Once you preset the limb length, you are stuck with no freedom of movement. Can be used to shoot at predetermined stationary target effectively (i.e. paper target/block) as the unit does provide stability.

I bought it on closeout and it broke immediately as I was removing it from the package. There is a very thin plastic part that joins the arm rest to the stick and I found out it takes very little torque to sheer that off. I'm glad it happened at home and not in the field. I thought about sending it back and asking for a replacement but instead I'll probably just use epoxy to rejoin those pieces, and maybe it'll work then.

I bought 3 one for me and 2 for friends. we are all over 60 and in need of help holding steady because of shoulder injuries. havn/t used in the field yet but seems to work well for gun and bow in practice.

Can not find use of upper lock. Needs to be able to extend to ground from standing position.[...]

I have'nt bow hunted in seven years because of three shoulder surgerys, I could not even hold or draw my bow. Thanks to SIERRA trading post for great deals and Knight & Hale, I can bow hunt again and im loving it. Thanks guys for getting me back in the woods and in my stand!!!!!! THANK YOU!!!!! Steve

This item is best from my small tent hideout. Gives me a precision shot.This does the job exactly the way it should.

I bought this to help hold my bow rock steady to sight it in, just as I put my rifles in a rest to sight them in. It doesn't work at all because: It's tough to draw the bow while wearing, the bow string clips the part that straps to the forearm, and the end that rests on the body doesn't stay in place, slips and you have to let the bow down, set the rest, and try again. My son experienced the same things and also doesn't like it. I will just donate it to a disabled hunters organization and hope someone can find a way to use it. Thanks
