I will give you a report after this last week of season.

I am proud of how I've hunted so far even without a bird to show for it. I can honestly say even when I had birds close enough to have killed them with a shotgun but no shot with the bow not once did the thought cross my mind wishing I had the shotgun in hand instead of the bow.

God bless,Mudd

PS Thanks for the kind words.

Super job on that Mudd, blends in extremely well. Ive seen others do similar things, but question how well they would work. While it hides your draw arm movement, ANY movement of your bow makes that blind move that much. So the bird does not see your hand going straight back, but he does see 5sq ft of something move a few inches. Please keep us posted on how well it works out though.

Mudd, you're a genius.............if it works you'll have to market it!

Now......let us know how it shoots with that contraption attached to it!

Like KumaSan said.......I hope you went to Walmart to get those fake plants and didn't find a more appropriate use for one of the wife's!!!!

It'll work, no doubt Mudd    :thumbsup:

Couple questions....

You triple the weight of your bow when it's on, how does that "feel"?

How do you carry your bow when it's on?

How do you carry it when it's off?

I don't have any problem with the weight. I just carry it on the bow.

I carry my chair,my arrows and my back pack with straps over the shoulder and my bow in my hand.

I'll get my wife to get pictures of what it looks like when I head to the woods.

God bless,Mudd

Looks like a money maker right there boss! I'd look into a patent lawyer and a "Made in America" sticker. Yee ha!

How does looking thru that little hole at your target affect your shooting. Looks real good!

Clever - out of the box thinking- congrats.  Appears to be workable in alot of situations--- I love the simplicity of it.  Is there no attachment to the upper limb, say a strap to the upper part of the site window?  Does it rattle when you shoot?

No strap and no noise. It actually made the bow quieter. I am very please with how it came out.

God bless,Mudd

PS: I decided to add to this post rather than a new one. It's 4:30 am and I'm off to chase turkeys again so I hope I can give you some proof it'll work.....lol

Have a blessed day!

There was a guy in Tupelo Ms that sold a similar item for confound shooters in the late 90's. Not sure if he is still in business. his threaded into the stabiliser hole and folded like a tree umbrella. Good job
