I lowered the overall weight of it by cutting out some of the wire. It seems to work as well without the entire panel and is considerably lighter.

God bless,Mudd

Wow Mudd:

I like this even better than the youtube vid I saw of a guy that covered his draw arm with a quiver blind apparatus.

Very nice.

Great work Mudd.. How is the plate attached to the welded wire?  It looks tack welded in place..?

It has no effect on the limbs whatsoever. The bow does seem a little quieter with it on.

There are two small plates that are welded together with the wire sandwiched in between. I will be cutting out more of the wire to lighten it up even more.

I bet if you can braze, it would work as well as welding. I think there are some small torches that will reach temps needed for brazing that aren't nearly as expensive as a welder.

God bless,Mudd

Sure beats that silly thing that was in all the hunting mags a few years back that was similar in design but was a 2x2 or larger sheet of mylar.  It reflected very well and the idea was it blended perfectly with every enviroment because it reflected that enviroment back.  I could only imagine what a giant mirror mounted on the front of your bow would do when it hit sunlight???

Your idea is sweet!

It has been a while Daniel. Where have you been?

I think I can say my blind works even though I didn't get a turkey.

I had two coyotes at one time that I counted coupe on and neither one ever knew I was anywhere around.

Welcome back my friend!
God bless,Mudd

Thanks
