Default RE: Don't let this happen to you

One of the first things I do after getting set up is draw my bow and make sure I can shoot in the directions I am hoping for a chance..........not foolproof but it helps.

Not wearing a safety harness is about the dumbest thing a bowhunter can do. No one ever thinks or anticipates they are gonna fall......it just happens in the blink of an eye and you may end up just shaken up or you may end up dead. How would you enjoy spending your life in a wheelchair because you didn't wear a harness. My brother works with numerous guys that have fallen out of stands and it's not pretty.

No deer is worth getting hurt or killed for.

I hunt out of a Summit that I have 100% confidence in..........and I ALWAYS wear my SOP harness..........makes me feel even better. It would take a complete mechanical failure of my stand for me to fall and even then I would just be dangling from the tree..........not crippled up at the bottom of it.
