With the tree to your back how do you turn to the right and shoot with a harness on. I am right handed and ther is no way I can do this with my HSS harness. 3 years of nighttime pics and the first ever daylight sighting of a deer I really want all came down to a 15 yard chipshot in my "blind spot". I could handle a miss better than this. By the time I spun around the tree, he was downwind and doing what big boys do when they get down wind. Please tell me of another vest out there or some trick that can eliminate this problem.

I do what Drop suggested also. Added about a three foot strap. If you lose your balancd though be ready for a serious jolt to the twins. Legal disclaimer: I do not indorse this method.

In doing this I would do away with that metal buckle that likes to clang on everything? The buckle that is on the belt that goes through the vest. I just realized what a newb I am to this staety harness stuff. I hunt out of a climber 100%, bought the vest a couple years ago and just wore it. I just had that feeling it would cost me one day, so I always positioned my stands to make that "blind spot" in the least likely area (downwind). Well guess what, big boy was cruising the edge of a river (downwind) scent checking a small grown up field and went right through it. Would Bass Pro have these items or do you guys have a good website. Thanks for all your help guys.

The noisy belt goes around the tree. Add a teather to your vest with the appropriate fastners.
