    Amazon

    I've got this thing in my head for a climbing platform that someone here made out of a Summit Open Shot seat. so I've been looking at prices and found one on EBay starting at $150 so I bid on it . No one bid until the last 12 hours. It ended up selling for $252 plus $80 for shipping and I'm sure...

    Who's using single bevel broad heads?

    Trying to decide which single bevel to use this year. Last year I used Cutthroats Left bevel. It looks like they don't give you a choice anymore. I dropped some of my weight and had to drop the poundage on my bow too. Now I need a 150 grain left bevel. Im a lefty and checked the rotation of my...

    One sticking with ring of steps

    This week end I decided to practice my one stick climbing. I decided to use a ring of steps to go with my Ultimate stick platform but they are just too small for my liking. I'm going to try some WE Steps as soon as it stops raining. Does anyone else use that uses the Ultimate stick use...

    New Kite

    Just got my new Kite this week. I put a adjustable girth hitch strap bridge on it, cut off the leg straps, and have a 8mm Oplux tether for it. I love how it cups my little bum. [emoji2957] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Singer Zig-Zag Model 237

    I've had this machine for a few years. When I got it it was seized up I cleaned it up and oiled it and got it running but I don't know anything about sewing. I'm not sure if it will do the job. It looks like it will handle up to size 18 needle. Will this handle doubled tubular webbing? I guess...

    Grappling hook

    Looking for ideas on lowering my bow and releasing it so I can bring the line back up, then I can use it to release my repelling line. Does anyone do this?

    Rappelling

    I use the LWHC for climbing and someone here suggested rappelling down and I like the idea because it would be a second way down if something were to happen but have no idea how to or what I need. Any advice or good videos? Thanks

    Newbie

    Today a friend contacted me and asked if I had a saddle. He's afraid of heights. I took him out with my saddle and let him try it out and wow did he love it! He was playing around up there. I wanted him to just try it low but he wanted to go high to see if he would feel safe which he was...

    What's wrong with people?

    I found this spot with a nice trail that parallels a field so I figured I would put a couple cameras on it. So far I've got two pictures of this guy carrying bags of corn to bait the deer which is illegal in my state, it can also kill the deer.

    I feel like such a jerk!

    Work nights so by the time I get to sleep it's 2am. Last night I planned on going hunting in this little public land spot not far from where I live no matter what time I get up. I know where there's a tree stand in there and figured if there was a car parked there I would just stay far away...

    Lighten up

    I think one on the heavy parts of my system is the tether and lineman’s rope. I have them in my sys pouch on the side of the Kestrel and that’s what I feel while walking. I watched a video of @Nutterbuster and he used tubular webbings for his tether and bridge. I copied his system and all I can...

    LW seat climber

    I have two LW seat climbers that are different. Old model and a new model. I don’t know which is which but the one on top I like better. It seams more stable. I also messed with using a Cut down 20” LW stick for going around branches and I think I like it. Also tried an ocb strap standing on the...

    Podcast

    I don’t know anything about a podcast and just found out that saddlehunter has one. It’s like a radio show, right? Can anyone fill me in about them. I know nothing so any info would be awesome. Thanks, Bob

    Is it different here?

    I belong to another site and we have a hunting contest. For the past four or five years we have guys that show up for the sign up and then are never heard from again. This year my captain called them out and one guy got all indignant saying he basically didn't have time. So if he couldn't have a...

    My first hunting hang.

    Yesterday I went into the woods and prepped a tree with bolts. The ten bolts got me up about 20 feet then I used two WE steps about a foot above the bolts for a platform. It took me about a 1/2 hour to get comfortable enough to take off my lineman's belt and just hang from my bridge and tether...

    Of course I've already ordered it but I was planning on using it for my bridge. Yes, No?
