I was just wondering what are some of the extremes people have went to for their love of bowhunting. Here is my story. We have about 10 different McKenzie targets placed throughout the yard at my fathers house. We had a 12 foot ladder stand set up that we would take turns climbing into to shoot. Well it didn't take long for my dad to get tired of this so he decided he is going to build a platform for more than one person to shoot off of. That weekend we were out there ripping apart the back deck. That's right, he totally tore apart the back deck so he could use the wood to build a platform to shoot off of. Now we have a double platform stand. The first level is 10 x 10 and 10 feet off the ground and the second one is the same size but ten feet above it. It comes complete with stairway, bow hooks, arrow holders and a pully system so one person can collect all the arrows and send them to the top for everyone else. I guess he figured if he wasn't gonna sit on the deck then he was gonna make good use out of it one way or another. It's still wierd for my mother to see us shooting off of what used to be her deck.
