Here is my Treepod for taking video while I am Hunting. It straps to the tree very tight. It makes no noise when putting it up. The base is 4 inch aluminum channel. The arms are 3/8" x 1" aluminum with palstic washers seperating them. http://www.archerytalkpics.com/file/2224/2718.jpg http:...

GPS mount for truck or other vehicle

Here is the GPS mount for my vehicles. It is just a piece of steel that is about the size of a pop can but shorter with the bracked screwed to it. It goes in any vehicle that has a drink holder.

Yes it is a 1996 Suzuki King Quad 300. I love that machine. It does anything I have ever asked it to. It fits in my truck...not like a lot of the new "Monsters.

How about a way to mount your GPS to your ATV. I use the mirror hole to mount the bracket I made. It is 10mm with a 20 TPI pitch. I know that is weird but it works great.

Tom, I have made my own game "video camera". It is as much fun as hunting. We get to see the bears before we hunt them. The first one I built was a Pix Controller but now I am going to build a Hags House video camera. I am using the BG 2 LANC controller. It will turn on a remote light...In...

I have used this style before but I machine my points to the correct angle and then glue my nocks on. I have found a nicer method. I use a 3L-18 unibushing and a G-nock. I happened to have some sitting around. This unibushing fits nicely into the back of the insert. I have to use one half a wrap of ...

You can recline your butt and the seat frame works like arm rests.

arrow spinner

The best (and cheapest) arrow spinner is really quite simple. Just take a piece of 2x4 12 inches for crossbow bolts should be good and glue 4 marbles to it. I put 2 together at either end and epoxy them in place. The arrows will spin like the button on the outhouse door and you will be able to see i...

Lucky strike, I have a Lone Wolf sit and climb. I love it. I can't believe how comfortable it is. I get some real good sleeps in it :) They are expensive but well worth it. I love the built in bow holder (I shoot compound) I just tape it with hockey tape....no need to bother with the rubber grommet ...

Lucky, buy a good compass. This will tell you the direction you are facing. For all the info you could ever use about GPS recievers go to www.geocaching.com and check out the forums. Do a search and you will get great info. These guys take GPS receivers very seriously. Maybe even try a couple of geo...

You can try it with a cheap laser but you will drive yourself crazy. They don't point the lazer where they are pointing....at least not accurately. Try it you'll see.

got one

I made a "bore sighter" a few years ago and it works great. I used a cheap laser and attached it to a 2117 shaft. The problem is that cheap lasers do not point where they should. I had to make a adjustment adapter. This tool works great and all you have to know is how much different the la...
