Default RE: Breaking the silence, I fell!

ORIGINAL: Schultzy

Lol!! I can take It Jeff, give me hell!! Actually there Is a such thing as a tree that won't permit one, at least for me there was this fall. My portable hang on stands that I make myself can go In trees that can have a good lean to them. I adjust the angle of the stand so Its flat and not leaning with the angle of the tree. The the 2 trees I was In this fall both leaned back and thus the harness was way to short that connects me to the tree. My feet were close to the tree but my upper body and head were way to far away.

Schultzy, I put a little foot and a half extension on the strap, works like a charm. I always felt the strap was too short even on a straight tree. If I had to shoot to my right, the strap was pulling on me, or can get in the way of my bow arm.
From your pics, you look like a pretty big dude. If you fall, you're gonna fall HARD!
Wear your harness you big dummy!
