Clip for treestand backpack straps.
 

Hey all, last saturday when i was putting on my treestand, and tried to clip the across the chest clip, i noticed the male end of the clip is broken.
Sadness. Anyway i ambled to my stand, just made sure not to lean one way or another.
Anyway, anyone know where I could find one of these? The treestand is a Buckshot Bigshot Mag.

I thought I would ask on here, I emailed buckshot, but haven' t heard anything yet, and if there is a way I could find it on my own, I would just do that
thanx

You might be able to find something like that at a fabric/craft store or sewing supply shop. They usually have a pretty good selection of buckles, clips, fasteners, etc.

Just a thought.

You can go one of two ways. You can get a new set of straps from Buckshot or your supplier. My proshop, Macrotech(Len in Md) stocks them. Or....... you can find quick disconnects like that at Sunny' s Surplus. They have many different sizes. That size is probably $5 or $6.(both pieces). You can try and sew them yourself or take them to a shoe repair store and they' ll sew it on for another $5 or $6. So you can spend $10 or $12 and repair or $20 or so for a new set of straps.:eek: You may not beable to find the exact size or type and may have to replace both pieces. I have an extra set of their straps in the garage but I was kind of saving them to fabricate onto one of my heavier hang-ons.

I went to a couple crafty sorta sites, and none had any clips that were close to that size. Aside from leaving work and making a lowe' s run, I think they might be hard to replace.

I called Buckshot, and the straps are not covered under the buckshot warranty, but the guy was really nice, and the customer service was great, so I ordered a replacment set of straps.

A++ to Buckshot Stands:D

YUP, one of their climbers is at the top of my wish list.

The mag is great, I am a bigger guy and can sit comfortably in it, easy to climb with, easy to backpack, the only hassle I have noticed is the little screw knobs that they use, takes some time, and with cold fingers they get hard to do, and the little rubber U things that hold them bind up when youa re trying to tighten them. Other than that, no complaints here, VERY solidly made treestand, once you get the hang of putting it together and taking it down it goes fast and you get to be really smooth with it :-)
