Im not sure it was intended to get the tighting cam over gives you, but its a secondary system, platform will be held by cam strap. Does amsteel go flat like this, cause it wouldn't work with ropeman if it did.
When did you start using the muddy sticks? I'm going to use them this year, was out in the yard working out my system today. Lots that I like about them, a few things I dislike, but overall I think they're going to work pretty good.My whoopie sling is made of Samson Rope Amsteel Blue 3/16", Green. It has a break strength of 5,400 lbs.
Once you cam the platform over, this thing is ROCK SOLID. It's not going anywhere.
Fully extended the sling is 56" long, fully retracted it's 32". I can use this on as small a tree as I have the stones to climb. haven't measured how big of a tree it will work with, but I estimated it to work with trees up to about 24" in diameter. The beauty of the sling is you can make them as big or as small as you want and you won't suffer a weight penalty since the rope is so light.
I started with a piece of rope approximately 85" long. That's just doing the beer math in my head.
I've not hunted out of this yet, but I have shot my bow from it and it handles side pressure very well.
I'll post pics up when I get a chance, but I made some custom "aiders" with a loop on each end and hung it from the ends of the steps. Saw someone on here post something similar last winter and was hesitant about it but it works great because it keeps the loop open. I don't even need anything on the webbing to keep its structure. A set of 4 of these is 3 pounds heavier than my 3 lone wolfs, but it gets me higher and it actually feels lighter to me because they're more compact.Muddys were the first I bought. Love them. When paired with aiders, they're perfect.
Nope. I'm always tinkering . I still have ideas for them. Just needed something that worked better for me right now out of the box.Red you selling your hawks?
