Bwana Bubba’s Thoughts – Double Barrel Arrow Loader

A new product for shooters to check out!

Double Barrel Arrow Loader

Recently via Linkedin the president of the Double Barrel Arrow Loader Company sent me a message and asked if I would be interested in trying out his product for the archery sports.  I was intrigued and said I would be very happy to do so.  A while later while waiting for the Double Arrow Loader to come, mentioned it to one of the staff pros for a Pro Archery Shop in Portland, Oregon.  Duane said “he had heard about and to let them know what I thought about it once I got it”

When I first looked at the well design packing and the design of the concept of the Double Barrel Arrow Loader I knew I was going to like it.  While at my day job, during a very short lunch break I took the parts out of the package, wondering for the sake of others how fast could I install the product on the Martin Onza 3 bow!  I am up in the lunch room with only my Allen wrench set to put it together. Other than maybe fine tuning the position of the arrow rest, it took me only 20 minutes.  I am one that does not look at instructions all the time, but wants to look over a product and see how it is made.  Having set an arrow on the rest, I found it to work superb on my bow.   Now to the test site for the shooting test in a tree stand format or ground blind.   Many times we can have second chance in a treestand to get another arrow off, but having to take it out of quiver costs us a number of seconds and the possibility of noise and detection from the game.   I do know without being in the field at this preliminary writing; I am not going to have that problem of noise of having to slip another arrow out of the quiver. I have now been in the field, though I have yet to release an arrow at a Blacktail Buck, I have found that carrying the bow with the Double Barrel Arrow Loader and two arrows on the ready to be very interesting, as the arrow in the Double Barrel Arrow Loader, stays firmly in the holder.

The Double Barrel Arrow Loader will be a permanent fixture on the Martin Onza 3 and will allow me more opportunity to be successful.  When I play golf and no one is on the course, I will play two (2) balls on the Par 3’s, just because I can.  So when I am out shooting 3D for practice and fun, I will be able to shoot two (2) arrows quickly and not take up extra time to take an arrow out of my quiver.

My eye and others that use the Double Barrel Arrow Loader will not have their eyes wonder from the game or target.   Since more and more of us on the West Coast have found that ground blinds and tree-stands are the way to get more game, the Double Barrel Arrow Loader will be the key to more success. I highly recommend the Double Barrel Arrow Loader to other archers and hunters, keeping in mind that the product is durable and will fit also fit in at least my bow hard case.
