Sure thing. After I posted those pictures and looked back at them I couldn't help but notice how perfectly your pack fits in and fills that space on the back of the seat. I don't think I could find anything that would fit better.

Nice job Jimmy! Thank you!!

Wow, I'm pleasantly surprised I could go that short!  I was going to be happy if I could get down to 64".  Those plans look pretty intriguing and quite possibly just what I'm looking for.
I'd like to stick with 60lbs as that's what I have now and hopefully I can keep shooting my current set of arrows.  We do have some pretty big pigs here, 300 lbs or so, and I'd like to have a bit more thump if shooting one of those guys.

Thanks,

I have yet to get my victim but im excited to cut their bow in half as soon as i find out some specs.

Its early Kirk, Can we play nice for a little bit?

That was 2 years ago, between the two of you, and there's only three of us participating this year and we are all excited so lets keep it started on a good note.

I kind of got hosed down last year receiving a weird looking self bow from moon catcher that was all out of whack. I sent it back as unacceptable, but never did receive a replacement. I told him to find someone else that might appreciate his so called. " character" bow. I've seen him produce some nice looking self bows, but the one he sent me was a joke.

Just saw a nice one sell at the United Bowhunters of Missouri banquet with two sets of limbs and the carved riser for only $675

None of those things you mentioned would be a factor. It didn't crack along the lamination line. My questions would be where it is being stored, and what type of heat  you have where it's being stored. What part of the country do you live in and what is the average humidity level.

Most of the issues I've seen has more to do with drastic humidity changes that effect expansion and contraction of different types of material. Building bows in Oregon, and sending them to dry climates like Nevada , Utah, NM, AZ etc...etc.. I have to climatize the materials and make damn sure the MC levels are extremely low before finishing the bows, or I can end up with cracks to repair.  Where I typically have issues is using G-10 I beams and not getting the wood dry enough before laminating it.      Food for thought.

Roger and Snuffer,

Sorry for the delay on this. Meant to do it sooner.

Anyway, here are some pictures. It's nothing all that inventive or spectacular—just easy. The only thing required is some Velcro One-Wrap, which is basically a roll of Velcro that attaches to itself. That means that you can not only use the One-Wrap to attach something like your Sling Pack to the PacSeat, but when it's not attached, you can wrap the cut strips of the One-Wrap around the tubing of the seat so that it's always there and ready to go. (Here is a link to what I bought: https://www.velcro.com/products/organization-general-purpose/heavy-duty-one-wrap-roll/)

Again, nothing very inventive here, but here's how it looks. (Ignore the quiver attached to the PacSeat. It's another idea I'm tinkering with.)




As you can see, I bought my PacSeat right after they introduced the "meat shelf" feature, which lets the seat slide all the way through the frame and be used as a shelf of sorts. That's how I configure the PacSeat when I attach the Sling Pack to it. I set the Sling Pack onto the shelf and attach the grab handle to the top bar of the seat using a strip of One-Wrap.








I then use two more strips of One-Wrap to attach the lower part of the bag to the PacSeat frame, so it doesn't shift left and right on the meat shelf as I walk. I undo the sling from the lower attachment points on the Sling Pack, then run the One-Wrap through each of those. Again, ignore the quiver






But that's about it. It's a super easy and super quick way to carry my Sling Pack whenever I am using my PacSeat. And when I'm not using the PacSeat, I can quickly remove the Sling Pack, knowing all my gear is already in it and ready to go. (I've done two bags before—one that stayed attached to the PacSeat and another I carried when I wasn't using the PacSeat—and I was always missing something.)

Let me know if you have any questions.

Don't know if you've ever tried Pirateship for shipping but it's always been cheaper than anything else. Just set up an account
