Love it , bolted to my Xop stand and holds my bow perfectly

I bought this for a hang on I had. after making a bracket for it, I was able to bolt in with some spacers, and have it swing in and out as it was intended to do. It works great and I highly recommend it
Paul E. 5/5 Verified
Mounted great to an alternative hang on I got and totally changed the game. When that big moment comes, you want the whole process of reaching for your bow (while sitting) at a minimum. Standing and using this hanger doesn't cut it. It can be done but requires a lot of body movement with my Bow (31in tall). Maybe not so much for taller bows and considering your own height. Highly satisfied of the hanger.

works great as a left side mount for my tradbow! plenty of standoff distance to accommodate my quiver.
Steven B. 5/5 Verified
The sidekick is an awesome feature. I find myself using it more than a bow hanger and still working out the kinks on where the best position is for my style. Really enjoying this paired up with the Ranger.
Jacob G. 5/5 Verified
.75 with Mathews V3X. Perfect.
Justin B. 5/5 Verified
The sidekick worked as it should. Thanks!
Terry S. 4/5 Verified
By far the absolute best bow holder out there. The guys at LWCG never disappoint !!
Marty C. 5/5 Verified
Great Bow holder!! I think the extended sidekick works perfect on the Crossover Climber , which by the way, Kicks Ass!!
Ken W. 5/5 Verified
Great product! Simple, easy, and practical. Keeps my bow where I need it and keeps it secure. Don’t have to worry about strapping or screwing anything to a tree. Great addition to my .75 stand.
Justin E. 5/5 Verified
Sittin low an forgot ur pull rope. No big deal.
Cody S. 5/5 Verified
Great product can’t wait to use it this season
Mike M. 5/5 Verified
Sidekick from LWCG is awesome, fits 1.0 stand beautifully and swivel away when packing
Dale W. 5/5 Verified
Seems legit.
Jerry C. 4/5 Verified
I'm a trad hunter and once you get shims and orientation set right, it perfect. No chance of your bow coming out.
Todd F. 5/5 Verified
Great product and works well with single string bows, will be purchasing more for my other stands.
Chad G. 5/5 Verified
Love this thing. It attaches to my old assault II as well as my .5 perfectly. It also holds my struggle stick real nice and secure without scratching it
Jeffrey S. 5/5 Verified
Couldn’t speak more highly of lone wolf custom gear the side kick is easily hands down one of the best tree stand mods iv ever bought in my life and it’s super light weight and strong and universal with any tree stand
Tyler W. 5/5 Verified
So nice to hop in the stand and not have to screw in a bow hanger anymore. Hoist my bow up and it’s ready right away. Super quick and obviously quiet.
Miles D. 4/5 Verified
Well in short, if your wife or girlfriend can have a gold plated wine opener, wedding ring AND engagement band. Then we can have the finest and most streamline of bling on our stand, the sidekick! More reliable than your high school wingman/woman and prolly better looking!
Matt M. 5/5 Verified
The perfect foldable bow holder for my stand. I love it that I'm able to fold it in when transporting my stand in and out of the woods during my hunts.
Scott M. 5/5 Verified
Super functional, perfect item to add to your system.
Austin C. 5/5 Verified
I’ve always packed in a swing arm bow holder to have the bow sit within arms reach and have minimal movement in reaching for the bow at the most important times. But this LWCG Sidekick- kicks ass and throws in ease of use, I am hooked on this especially on this long deep woods hauls when every ounce counts.
Philip R. 5/5 Verified
It's a must have!
Aaron B. 5/5
I love all the LWCG products. I recently purchased the .5, sidekick, and 4 17” mini’s with 4 cable aiders. The stand is so easy to hang, and is rock solid. The sticks bite the tree amazingly well, and the aiders are like having another 20” step with no weight added. The Sidekick is perfect to keep my bow right where I need it, and it tucks right back out of the way when I am packing up. Thanks for all you do LWCG Team. I really appreciate the the incredible attention to detail and focus on efficiency in Mobile hunting!
Joe D. 5/5 Verified
I currently was using the Thirdhand bow holder. It worked fine but it’s a heavy piece and straps were always getting caught on it. Once the Side Kick came out it was a must have. Works great without the add weight and the ability to move it out of the way. Great design again for LWCG
Scott R. 5/5
My vxr fits good. Going to give it a try with .5. If I like I will get more for my other stands.
James B. 5/5 Verified
Simple, Light weight and all you’ll need. Perfect addition to any platform
Tim K. 5/5
Works Great on any stand
Brandon R. 5/5 Verified
Another great integration for the Daquisto series stands. Top notch as always; Although the bow holder could have been vetted better for popular bows on the market, LWCG is accommodating by sending customers more spacers. We’d love to see a pivot feature on the next one to solve that.
Tyler J. 5/5 Verified
Haven’t had this in a tree yet but think it will work very well and keep the bow ready and not in the way while sitting on the stand. Easy to install too!!
Ryan S. 5/5 Verified
Works very well even for left handed bowhunters. Looking forward to using it for killing a Kansas buck this year. Effective upgrade for the third hand and folds out of the way.
Sawyer H. 5/5 Verified
Nice well thought out bow holder. Works great and is simple. Pretty amazing how well the washer scheme holds it to your platform. Add some slayer tape, acorn not or tire valve stem cap to the exposed bolt to limit a poke in the back though
Garrett S. 4/5 Verified
Cant beat it. Best equipment on the market
Robert L. 5/5 Verified
Love the Sidekick on my DS .5 stand. The perfect combo for saddle hunting.
Seth H. 5/5 Verified
Easy to install, folds out of the way when not in use and keeps your bow at the ready.
Kerri M. 5/5 Verified
Perfect
Kaylan P. 5/5
Perfect fit by replacing the bolt on the hand climber traction belt cam lever with the one that comes with the sidekick and a few washers!! The protective shrink wrap works great, and the whole unit is so light and compact versus the heavy steel bow holder I had been using. My assault climber nests flat for carrying again which is an added plus.
Matthew K. 5/5
This is the picture I meant to put up on one of the other reviews. 1.0 stand with it.
Bobby C. 5/5 Verified
Perfect for the .5 especially because of the fact this stand was intended for being lightweight and add the sidekick to it I mean WOW. I don’t even know it’s there like if I had a third hand on. Great job! Also like that you can also adjust it to put it on your right side if needed. AMAZING!
