What a great feeling...
....when you get your bow in your hands after pulling it up 25-30 feet. Theres always a thought in the back of my mind that the rope or snap may break. I'm sure its happened before; hopefully it won't ever happen to me.

I know that feeling. I hate it when you accidently hit your sight pin on your screw in steps.

Trial and error is great, huh? I'm always finding better/faster ways of doing something after I've done them for a while.:) |

buy a spool of parachute chord/rope and attach some metal dog leash clips to it. you won't break it. I've used the same 25 feet for 12 years, and I've used the very same piece of rope for hanging 25lb. steel treestands in a pinch. it tangles a hel of a lot less also compared to that nylon stuff they sell as "pull up" ropes in the store.

RE: What a great feeling...
I have never had it happen to me but now I am going to be thinking about it everytime I am bringing my bow up.

RE: What a great feeling...
I am glad that I am not the only one that thinks these things! When I first started bow hunting, I would knot that rope too tight and then I would spend forever trying to get the knot un-done...

I've done the same and around here as the weather gets colder I run 2 ropes...1 for the weapon and 1 for the gear. I climb without much on me so I have the most amount of freedom while doing so...IMHO it's much safer that way! |
