    Has anyone found a genuine way to test DIY equipment?

    I have a DIY saddle and its my Mark V, I feel like it's built and sewn just as well as any manufacturers but I just want a good way to test it past what I can physically do it while wearing it in a tree. So I guess my question is whether you guys just beat the hell out of it in the tree, or hook...

    Anyone running an amsteel whoopie sling as an adjustable bridge?

    Just bought some 5/16 Amsteel Blue to make an adjustable "whoopie sling" bridge. Has anyone else done this and like it? I'm waiting on the Amsteel and just wanted to see some examples of how long, loop sizes etc you made with it. I would make it a fixed bridge but I like the idea of having one a...

    Saddle bags or pockets

    Have my own DIY saddle and am thinking about sewing up another pouch or pocket for gear. I have a dump pouch on the left hip for my tether and my lineman belt. One on the right for tools(steps, limb snips, calls, etc) the one on the back is just an extra one for a water bottle. I guess my...

    What do you shoot?

    What does everyone shoot? I shoot a 2008 PSE x-force super short, 26"ata, 65lb, walmart speedfreak arrows with 100 grain brass inserts and ramcats. I'm just curious if anyone uses super cheap equipment and have some bows they have been shooting for a long time.

    DIY platforms on the cheap

    Just an old sturdy hang on ladder section with a welded expanded metal "shelf" on the top for a nice place to put your feet flat. Used some old scrap metal and cost about $20 on facebook for 5 sections. Gonna get some heavy duty straps make semi-permanent on some pre-set trees for the season.

    Slumberjack Pursuit Vest

    Has anyone used on of these along with a saddle? Seems to me it would go nicely with the Kestrel and not in the way like a normal backpack would be with your molle pack on your back. I could also see having your smaller things you wouldnt want to keep in your bag in the first place right at hand...

    DIY Saddle

    I decided this year to try out saddle hunting this year after listening to a podcast with the great John Eberhart. Being a "DIYer" like most other guys on here I figured I could make my own saddle and make my own climbing rope, etc. Here are some pictures of my custom saddle, after a practice...
