The Good:
I have used the Bridge Buddy for about 4 hours now and really like the comfort over just a Tethered bridge. It does exactly what is advertised. Moves easily for off side shots and is very stable and secure.
The Not So Good, maybe?:
Im not impressed or happy with the amount of Erosion / Deformation of the material at the Caribiner connection area. Only 4 hours of use and it has removed all the paint on the outer / upper side of the throat and all the way inside the upper neck. I hope this subsides or stops but I'm not sure it will. I am using an aluminum Tetherd Caribiner, I'm 205 lbs and not trying to abuse the Bridge Buddy in any way. Hopefully it makes it thru season, I usually hunt 40 plus days a year, 10 or so all day sits. Maybe a bearing surface where the Caribiner connects would fix this issue? I'm no engineer, but I did just put a piece of heat shrink on throat connection section of my Caribiner, we will see how that works out?!?!
