I gave away my "on-the-bow blind" to a friend for his kindness..not just to me but to everyone he comes in contact with.
Kudos and thanks for the friendship americanhunter7. (I hope that you've been able to put the blind to the test.)
Our season here in Missouri isn't too far out(less than a month away now) and that thought spurred me into some action.
I decided I was going to build myself another "on-the-bow blind" and this time I was going to document the process and share it with the tradgang family.
These blinds are so simple,easy,and inexpensive to build(or else I wouldn't have mastered it...lol)
The materials and tools needed are as follows:
Rabbit wire(you decide the dimensions to your preference)
two small squares of thin metal(I used aluminum)
2" 5/16th fine thread bolt( 2 flat washers, 1 lock washer, 2 nuts.
a pair of wire cutters
die-cut leafy camo material
and last but not least... a gadget attachment (3 Rivers Archery has these)
Make a wire sandwich with the two metal plates.
Once you've done this you'll need to attach it to you bow and play with it until you find the proper balance point for you and your bow.
Once you've found that balance point, it's time to cut out the sight window.(suit yourself with the exact size)
Now it's time to test fire a few arrows through it before the camo material is added.
Any adjustment of overall size and the sight window will be done after shooting it.
All I have left to do is to apply the camo material.
When I find where I've so carefully stored (CRS) the camo I'll finish the project, take pictures and share them.
God bless,Mudd
