Default Let's see your bowhunting inventions!!!

Let's see some things that have made bowhunting easier for you. Here are my "famous: nets that I have shown before and a sling for carrying the DB blind easy. Also these nets are great for a Lone Wolf or other stand for putting layered clothing under while on your way to the stand location. Here is a rangefinder cover I came up with. A simple 99 cent neoprene beer koozy cut to fit and the bino system installed on the Bushnell Pro scout. I use two, one for protecting the lense while in transport and storage when not in use and the other one stays on at all time. the storage one just slips over the existing one. I have more "inventions, but I can't give you all of my secrets.

Nice work..... I like the range finder cover idea, I don't wear mine on a lanyard and that would help protect it if I were to drop it.

I love the net idea! I was trying to come up with something like that and this will work well.
Hubby took the guts out of a start pull weed eater and placed a turkey decoy on it. Ran a string from the base to our blind and pulled: the turkey turns and we he lets up it turns the other direction!

I have a pretty good idea drawn up for a really revolutionary hunting invention. Well, not "revolutionary" but pretty dam good.

Still looking for anyone seriously willing to partner up / sign confidentiality and non-disclosure agreements and manufacture it. I can give some more general info per request, but I won't get into specifics without signing the paperwork first.

Good work on the coozy - good idea.

I feel the more gadgets that come into play the more you lose focus of the real thing. I have optimized my camo(ghillie) by using a differnt netting. Most guys will use a volleyball/badmitton net but I have started to use "bird" netting. Its used to keep birds out of fruit trees and such, It works so much better and looks better too. The ghillie is tighter to your clothing for agile movement and is also "the same old" ghillie profile.....Anyways it works great!
