    Quiver tight to tree

    A lot of good info there, but its about hanging a bow and hanging a quiver on a stand. Thanks for info though.

    Quiver tight to tree

    Was thinking of trying this. Worried about dropping bow messing with this

    Quiver tight to tree

    This is my exact plan at this time. I would like the quiver more secure than just hanging though

    Quiver tight to tree

    For 30+ years I have been a die hard quiver always on the bow guy. It just made sense to me. An arrow right there if needed. Now with a saddle and the bow hanging close to the tree I think I like the idea of the quiver off. I really want more than just hanging. Would like it more secure to be...

    Powder coated Predator

    I've seen some awesome paint jobs. I personally just hit mine with a grey and a few lines of black on the bottom, sides, and post. If deer see the top your probably hunting a little low, LOL. I'm happy with it.

    Phantom Uncomfortable

    In my limited use of the phantom I would say it is very comfortable as a leaner and not a sitter. Sitting is good for me but I only sit for short times and not often. I do shift the top of the saddle a little below my belt line. I have also found when sitting, straddling the tree or sitting with...

    Platform suggestions

    Another vote for the predator. Also agree that you need to have your sticks picked out first. It will open up the possibilities. Predator is not cheap but it's pretty much in line with the others that are similar. Set the predator right and it's rock solid. I'm 255lbs and I can lean out and put...

    I'm lost, part 2

    Let me start by saying I'm NOT a "pro". I'm less than a year in myself. I would actually recommend you take advice from others LOL. I just wanted to tell you what I did. I did a lot of research online like you. I met some people. I borrowed a few saddles. I did more research. I decided on the...

    Platform suggestions

    I would have to disagree. There are several good platforms out there and new ones coming out all the time. Just off the top of my head I can think of: Predator Out on a limb Solo scout Podium Tree-suit Ridge runner

    Decent portable target for EZ V users

    Just buying an insert is a good idea, and probably cheaper. I kind of like this target though, because it has the front leg. Helps me better picture the deer. I always have one arrow in my quiver for practice. Keep a broadhead on it that I don't resharpen. Always take a practice shot before I...

    Heavy arrow

    65lb, 29.5" draw. Total arrow weight is 616g. Went with the GT Ted Nuggent 300 in white. They are 10.8 gpi. Standard 12g insert with 250g VPA up front. The white arrow shows the blood so well. Good luck!

    Decent portable target for EZ V users

    Have almost bought this target several times. Not so much for the EZV, although I do use one. More for it looks convenient to have in the truck during season. I like to shoot my bow at camp or at the truck during the middle of the day if I come out for lunch. Glad to hear you like it.

    Dangers of a Ropeman 1

    Did something similar with the prusik on my tether once. Wanted tether a little longer for a different position. Stood up on platform to take weight off. Grabbed prusik and slid it down a few inches. Not thinking, I slowly lowered my weight back into the saddle using my hand that was grabbing...
