Can anyone give me a personal review of the Push Alpha Pack? I'm interested in buying one.
I've seen one, it's kind of big, haven't carried one, you are supporting the cause as much as getting a quiver. Other than that it's pretty much what you are seeing is what you are getting, they haven't been around long enough to know durability!
I've had one for about a month. I quickly abandoned it as part of my treestand gear. My hunts are usually just a couple of hours long and I have streamlined my gear over the years. I can comfortably carry everything I need in the pockets of my safety vest and while it is a little cumbersome to access under my heavy winter coat, it works. On the bottom of my Lone Wolf stand seat I have strapped a wicked tough tree saw and very small pack--just big enough to hold tags, pocket knife, bow rope in case its needed, and extra flashlight.
I found the alpha pack constantly in my way when climbing up or down the tree. I carry my bow up in a third hand bow holder and the pack interfered with this when climbing.
Now when ground hunting I do like the pack---it holds pruning shears and gear well and I can strap my stool to the top of it for the walk in and out. I think it will be really good for turkey hunting also---so I guess I'd have to upgrade my earlier grade of it to a B. I believe it will get use in the woods---just not when I'm in the trees.
I believe it will be perfect for 3D shoots and stumping and allow me to carry a little water and a snack as well as function as a quiver.
I got one a couple weeks ago and love it. I used it small game hunting last week and have worn it stump shooting and 3D shooting. It is nice having everything off my back and streamlined. I don't treestand hunt so I can't speak to that but it will definitely be my go to pack for hunts and shoots. I like the fact that I can put essentials in it and still where a pack for public land hike ins. It lets me drop a pack and still have what I need right at hand. Quality is top notch and I like to support Matt and Tim at The Push.
Gotta plug their P.A.C.K. online courses too. Even for experienced archers there is a lot of good info there.
I hunt in South GA where its super hot when archery season begins. I purchased mine for our early season hunts however I loved it so much that it stayed with me the whole season. I now carry only what I need and maybe a few extras like a snack or water bottle depending on how long i sit, and a Thermacell based on time of year or temperature. One of the main things I like about it is that everything is right there on my side and organized when I get into my stand. Before when I carried a pack I would get in the tree and pull everything out. I would then stuff my gear into pockets and get organized from there. With the Alpha Pack I have all my gear right at my side. I cannot wait to use it during turkey season as it is perfect for calls, strikers and essential turkey gear eliminating the need for a cumbersome vest. Then also great for 3d shoots. The only issue I had with it is the leg getting the leg strap adjusted correctly so it rode nicely on my side but that is very minor and probably just something learned over time based on use. Overall the pack is a 10 out of 10 for the type of hunting that I do and the thing is built to last, quality is top notch.
I bought one after seeing them at ETAR last summer (took several months to get it)-- have been trying to trim down what I carry into the woods so I thought this smallish pack would help me do that. It is overbuilt, bombproof and well thought out in terms of pockets and other design features. However, I think it belongs more in the stump shooting woods or on the 3D range. I found it a tad too small for hunting, and it will hold a gob of blunts but not broadheads. Put too much heavy stuff in it, and it starts to get heavy and drag down the belt. Also, it's leg location gets in the way in the stand. So-- a great pack for a specific use, not a do-all. Worth owning, though, as an option. Roving quiver on steroids.
I've been trying to contact the and but I can't find their phone number anywhere on their site.
Does anyone have their phone number?
Terry your right,I also can't find their number. There's no info on their site about sending to Canada, my computers down so I can only converse on sites.looks like a real interesting pack/quiver.
I know they ship internationally. They have been slammed with messages with the launch of the PACK online courses. I have an email address that they check regularly. I'll post it tomorrow for you guys. I know the Lancaster tournament is this weekend so they may be tied up.
I just got the Alpha pack and am going to try it today at indoor league.
I will report back.
Terry, the PUSH guys are at the Lancaster Classic this weekend.
Thanks guys but I actually need to talk to them on the phone. ..... But I would wait till tomorrow to Call if I only had a number. Thanks
Does anyone have their phone number?
I messaged them letting them know you were trying to get in touch and for a number.
Thank you sir
Here are some pictures of the Alpha Packs in their natural environment.
A few more.
Thanks for the call sir :shaka:
No problem Terry!
Looks like an awesome 3D rig.
I morphed mine. Really like it. They are great to deal with.
Hey Matt, I've got a PM to your messages about ordering one of your quivers, thanks Steve.
Thanks Matt for all the info, quiver is ordered now the wait begins lol
On day 5 of testing in TX....
Report coming soon....
how long does it take to receive these after ordering?
I'm not sure who you are asking for this answer, But it would be best if you contacted them directly as they can give you an up-to-date answer as most of us can only speculate. They've also been very busy lately..... With shows and productions.
For whatever it's worth I got the pack I tested in like 3 days...... But I'm in no way answering for them.
Terry I tried PM'ing you but I'm just waiting for a ETA on my pack,, cant wait to try it..
I don't do PMs.....never have......just email....its in my profile....just click on my name.
Terry all set now I finally reached them they are busy and said these are made at time of order so 4 to 6 week wait time which is not bad for good quality.
OK great....Smokinjoe is using the test pack in GA right now.
