I do all my bowhunting by my self and for ages I've tried to tape my own hunts. From putting a camcorder on my bow to taking the same camera in the woods with my tri-pod, it just never really worked very good. Well last year my wife got me the risercam and I already have 2 successfull hunts on video. It's very easy to operate even for an old fart like me! This spring I found out that you can even use it on your gun. I'm already practicing with it and the video is great. I can't wait till this fall so I can tape more bow and gun hunts. deerman69
