My homemade "on-the-bow" blind..(blind off the bow pics and costs added)
« on: May 01, 2010, 10:21:00 PM »
I know you can't see much, but isn't that the point.

This photo is taken from looking directly at my bow, blind and DB seat. I just made this yesterday and I didn't see or hear a turkey this morning so I can't report how well it worked.

I'm betting it will.

Thanks for looking.

God bless,Mudd

These may not be the best ever photos but I think you'll be able to see how I constructed it. It's made of what I call rabbit cage wire and two small metal plates sandwiched welded to it with a hole drilled in it to allow it to be bolted to a stabilizer insert. I used one of 3 Rivers "Gadget attachment" thingys to mount it on my MOAB.  

When I was building it, I didn't measure anything I just went by sight and judgment about how it should look.

I measured it so I could tell folks that It's 30" tall, 20" wide. It sits on the bow with approximately 1/3 of it below the point of attachment and about 1/3 of it to the bow hand side. The sight window is 4"W and 6"T.

I know it ads some weight(2.38#) to the bow but it's not terrible and a heck of a lot lighter than my double bull.

God bless,Mudd

Mudd, that thing looks great   :thumbsup:  .  I was just telling someone yesterday one of the reasons I love going trad is you're so free to make as much or little as you want.  The ingenuity you all show is incredible.  Way to go!

Are those limb covers I see? How do you find they work? Do they stay in place OK?
