Arsenal Platforms and Gear

Chamfer the lower part of the teeth on the bracket they just dagger in and only slide down to set so much and make it thicker. With the amount of force it gets especially if using this “double cam” method arsenal recommends. It needs probably 50% thicker material. The wall where the bolt goes through is very thin and will break when offset on a tree.

Any chance you could post some close up pictures of the top bracket where the bolt nuts are?

By offset you mean just 2 teeth on one side touching the tree?

I think if the “tool hole” on the sides was a more appropriate(smaller) diameter it would be plenty strong.

I remember that LWCG had to make a similar modification to their tree stand spikes as well due to noise concerns?
