I just bought a spin tester from Cabelas for $30.00. I don' t know why, I usually make most all my stuff. I guess I was just lazy at the time[:' (]. In 31 years of bowhunting, I' ve never bought a tree stand and always make my own. I still have the first one I ever made back in 1974. Ausie, you still coming up to Nebraska to hunt this month????
