I built most all of my stands and a couple of game hangers (one for each place).

I have made a portable blind and a folding seat with swivel seat as well. The blind worked out great, but the seat ended up being a bit too heavy to be of any use hunting, so just stays around camp for a seat.

I make my own rifle rest for a tree stand. Works great . attaches to the tree with a strap like your tree stand goes all the way around you and in fron of you like a box. and you can use it as an arm rest.

Mike Hill, I made a similar rifle rest out of a camera tree support. It has a mount, with "teeth" and a strap. I simply added a 3' section of aluminum bar and then wrapped it with padding and camo tape. It looks ok, but have not yet tried it out.

I have not made a bow since I was about 10 yrs old and it was made out of birchwood! Not very good quality! I bet your bows are much better made.
