Title: Tripod tweaked for bow Friendly
Post by: metsastaja on March 09, 2010, 10:54:00 AM
I have not seen this discussed.

I just bought one of these

Is very comfortable to shoot from sitting down and stand can go up to 14'.

The stand is for a specific hunt location. It will go on the far side of the feeder for the predominant SE wind of deer season and supplement the platform and tree stand I have in place for the N winds. This is the first hunt from the platform.

I could use some inspiration on making it bow hunt friendly and how to accommodate bow, side quiver backpack etc.

The chair rotates 360 and has a gun rail attached that folds over behind seat.  I will camo the backside gun rail since it folds.

I wonder do the arms on the chair get in the way of shooting?

BTW - did you miss or hit a hog?, couldn't tell.

Arms are not in way. The rifle ring may turn out to be in way.  I need more shooting time in it. That was my brother shooting. unfortunately he was not seated correctly and caught lower tip of bow on boot and missed.  He went back in the next day and perfected the technique
