...Don’t worry about a stud with these...
When mounting heavy stuff on a wall it is only prudent to find the stud.
Did you even look at what I posted? If you’re hanging 20-30lbs of near vertical load you’ll be more than fine. Not to mention it’s legal to use more than one at a time. There are a lot of ways to do it; these just happen to be a better mousetrap.
Not trying to start an argument--stated "when mounting
heavy stuff", as in the OP's "
Big game" premise, which most likely falls well outside "20-30 lbs of near vertical" load, but might be fine for something like my 32-1/2 lb Tyee Club salmon mount.
