I don’t currently have an A-Bolt, but I wouldn’t hesitate to have another. The one I had was stupid accurate and very well made - the twist is the only reason I don’t still have it.

Interesting about the OP’s experience on sales. Our LGS used to push and sell lots of A-Bolts in the 90s and early 2000s - though they were never on sale, rather full MSRP; which was much higher than other comparable models at the time.
