I started using these last year and so far so good. The POI has not changed when going on and off. The price isn't bad either. It may make traveling with these bow a bit easier for some of you guys.

I use these too because of Boos recommendation, on everything but my crossbow, they are strong and simple.
There is a small issue with them that the real picky people should be aware of. Because the mounts have screws on only one side the scope tends to twist to one side slightly as you complete the tightening, it is a very minor twist but is present. It is simple to rectify by keeping the scope a bit twisted to the opposite side prior to the final tightening stage.
I use them on two rifles and my shotgun.

I suspect that as long as the stresses are identical each time you install, that the flexing won't matter much. Just remember to do things EXACTLY the same way each time. If you place the front mount on the base first, do it that way each time. If you tighten the front base first, do it first always, and especially, tighten with the same degree of torque each time.
I have used detachable Leupold rings and bases on my rifles and have been quite satisfied, even with a high recoiling rifle like a 378 Weatherby.

It isn't flexing the tube just rolls over a very small amount. I tighten the screws a bit at a time and alternate so that there is no large amount of rotation. This style of clamp used on these rings is one of the oldest proven systems around today. It really isn't a problem for most normal people.
