Holy $%#@% now that's some jerky! With a dehydrator like that, you must make some pretty darn good stuff. That's a serious machine. I'm salivating just looking at it.

That must be the original prototype "penthouse". I just don't think it will fit on the back of my Arctic Cat 400. All your inputs are appreciated.

Ameristep Penthouse; what blind would u recommend?

Greetings gents,
I'm getting ready to purchase a ground blind and I've been looking at the Penthouse by Ameristep. I want the room to move around etc... Has anyone else used one? Or an other model? Thanks in advance for any insight guys.

what you will find is that most archers are concern with the added weight and balance of the bolt. With my experience with epoxy you will create a much thicker coating on the bolt and thickness = weight. as the video shows you only end up adding 1 gram to the bolt with laquer.

My archery guy told me to use Pam spray on the first third of the bolt. It works. I just sparyed a rag and wipe the front third before the session. Looking forward to hear from others experience with this.
