Default RE: suggestion: bicycle mirror

Stump MN, you' ve got that right... many strange ideas arise from tree stand psychosis... (Bicycle mirrors are better than imagining just who might be visiting my neglected hunter' s wife during low-light conditions.) But as for reflecting sunlight or getting the mirror caught on something, if you' re in the woods, or with your back to the woods, not much problem with sunlight; if I see sun strike the mirror, I just turn it down; and the mirror stem is only three inches, so it stays mostly under my hat brim, sticking out maybe 1-2 inches. I put it on my left and shoot righthanded. The real advantage is not that you can see that much in one view, but that you can scan behind you with less head movement, never having to turn completely around. The only thing is to make sure its out of your line of sight when you draw your bow, which isn' t hard. Anyway, bicycle mirrors on camo hats, you heard it here first, its my one shot at glory in this, as of yet, empty-freezer October.
