    New Boots...

    https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01MQK3YZF?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_1 I like the Skidmore Leather Cream better than the SnoSeal Bee's Wax because there isn't any 'caking' properties to deal with. It will darken the leather, so keep than in mind if you use it.

    How Many Platforms

    My post is a combination of me 'just thinking out loud' & 'looking for a sanity check'. No edginess or spiciness intended. I like that informative illustration and I have a question from it and the point Plebe is making: It looks like a pound IS a pound at the bare minimum, but that pound can...

    New Boots...

    Saw these at a trade show this past year. They are coming out with a camo line, last I heard. I'm going to try these next. https://liteboots.com/ https://liteboots.com

    Call your Shot for 2025.

    I'm going to put some meat in the freezer. I've been too picky about what I'm willing to drag out and by what method. I'm confident that my family will like my commitment/decision.

    Turkey gun build?

    I never took pics of the patterns of HeviShot 5,6,&7 but they were really good. I'm trying to wrap my head around how a longer-than-stock forcing cone could possibly hurt a pattern, no matter what the shot's composition.

    Turkey gun build?

    Well, that's nice to hear because I lengthened that 20GA's cone more than 25 years ago. Thank you

    Turkey gun build?

    Bummer. They do not recommend a lengthened forcing cone. Wonder how that poorly affects the patterns?

    It’s about time..

    I saw saddle the other day that had a bunch of these heavy duty loops on the saddle - along with the 'standard' molle attachments that are on most saddles today. I liked the idea of them on a tree saddle. This pic is a close up of an older 511 duty belt. Apparently, it's strong enough to...

    Summit Open Shot top as climber

    Mainly because of the ease of getting into more trees. I confess I have not gone around limbs with the OpenShot. Seems like too much work, but - again - I haven't tried so this could all be in my head. Not too proud to admit such things.

    Summit Open Shot top as climber

    With this converted OpenShot, I eliminate sticks and a platform from my walk in and replace them with this climbing platform. This works great for that, but my sticks and platform allow me to get in more trees. I used the converted OpenShot about 5 times this past season. I used my sticks and...

    Summit Open Shot top as climber

    I wouldn't expect them to approve it either. Anyone heard weather or not Summit will capitalize on this opportunity to develop something like this for us saddle hunters?

    Summit Open Shot top as climber

    You didn't change the integrity of the stand, IMO. I added a few aluminums strips of 'C' channel, and placed priced of rubber inner tube between the 'C' channel and the frame. I've since replace those green wire pieces with the Nite Eyes rubber coated twist ties. They serve as my stirrups...

    Turkey gun build?

    80+ birds under your belt?!?!?! You must be some kind of professional turkey hunter or something!!! I've only 19 birds in 28yrs under my belt. The stories you can tell... Hat's off to you.

    Turkey gun build?

    Great Thread !!! I have the 870 Youth Model 20GA. that has had the forcing cone lengthened and uses the Remington Super Full 3-dot tube designed for Hevi-Shot, Steel, or Lead. Patterns really well with everything I've run through it. My son has killed a couple long beards with it out to 40yds...
