Arsenal Platform

Man you are either very unlucky or very hard on equipment.

I took it out of the box and slapped in on the tree. It was solid but when I moved on it the platform would pop up. So I got off ran that leveling screw all the way in to get a little down angle then got back on it. After a few seconds I heard a pop and looked down and the bracket looked bent. Got off and took the platform off the tree and saw it was broken. From the time I opened the box to it breaking was less than 5 mins.

Or both... I suspected something was up and can appreciate not posting knee jerk until after contacting them.

I thought these were machined? To my untrained eye, that looks like a break how cast breaks. Machined would bend, wouldn't it?

The material around the hole is too thin for the force that bracket sees. They would of been better off simply drilling the hole using a longer bolt instead of sinking it down into the bracket so far. Or… using thicker material. It’s not cast but…. I am not so sure about it being 7075.

Not sure it would have been knee jerk.

I’m for giving companies a fair shake, but what’s the response that mitigates putting this out in public?
