I hunted out of one of my fixed stands this afternoon (with no luck by the way), and an idea came to me as I climbed my sticks and entered the stand. I wonder if some of the seasoned veterans of HNI would be interested in creating a video or slide show of how to properly hang and/or enter and exit a fixed stand setup. It would be nice also if someone would do the same for a climber, as in a Summit or Lone Wolf. This would include harness setup and hanging sticks/steps as well as ascending and descending the tree, entering and exiting stand, ect., just as if you were going to hunt the stand. I believe this would be of great help to newbies like myself and so many others just getting into bow hunting. Of course whomever submits this video/slideshow should also post a disclaimer to the extent that they are not responsible for any injuries, mishaps, ect., resulting from someone following their technique.

Now the good part. I for one would like to personally ask a few of the members here to contribute to this cause. Of course, if you can not participate, no hard feelings. I understand. This request includes, but is not limited to... Rob/PA Bowyer, Hardcore Hunter, HNI Justin, GregH, and mobowhuntr. Anyone else with input please feel free to jump right in. That is if you can take time away from your hunting/work/family schedule.

Thanks, LT
