I've tried both and feel like I have more freedom of movement with the UL frame.
I know I am going to have to just try the bikini and the new duplex UL side by side, but will the new UL be as comfortable when shooting a bow? I like how the bikini back pads move slightly but maybe the new UL flexes enough on its own.
I started out with a duplex and ended up switching to another brand.... till the new frames came out. I originally ordered the ultralight hunting frame and then because of time constraints I went with the tactical duplex and put arrows in that. Its been a great frame and Im glad I went the tactical route. More options only slightly heavier and more attachments. Happy with how things turned out. Wont be upgrading frames for many years. Kifaru nailed it with this frame.
Yup I'm running them in mine and they have been holding up great. Had them flexing pretty good under a couple heavy loads but no problems so far.
Did you do one arrow per side or two per side?Think it dropped almost a pound over the aluminum stays and the arrows flex with you much better as you move. I will use the original stays when I know I will be hauling heavy loads (100+) but the rest of the time the weight saving and flexibility are worth it. I have packed out quarters from 7-8 different elk (4-5 cows and 3 bulls) so far this year and all were with the arrows.
Any new insight on the UL and hunting frames? I'm leaning toward upgrading to the UL frame. Initially, I was concerned about the comfort, but now I'm more concerned about the durability of the arrows. Has anyone had issues with the arrows strays (breaks, cracks, etc.)? Just want to make sure I'm making the right choice.
