I will, and I am sure someone could come up with a more precise way of doing it

I think I did one already....I will if I haven't already

I slot them with a dremell

I give it all I got

well keep it up 👍@@TurkeyBowMaster300

Shoots great and cuts a huge hole. It's one of the best Simmons heads

Glad it was helpful!

I got some extra.

I never seen a tree die from gaffs...I've seen one die from climbing stands but it was climbed a lot.

Thanks. I need ro break it down in steps

@@TurkeyBowMaster300 I’m impressed even though at 58 I would not attempt it.

Good luck and be careful

What this gus is doing is completely wrong and dangerous, do your research into this from people who know how to do it safely

That's too bad, but technically, these are not driven into trees and are definitely not left in them. It's unfortunate that the original purpose of laws have been redefine. I have talked to the guys who sat in the meetings when the laws were made, and the original purpose was to keep medal objects...nails, railroad spikes, etc from being left in trees where they could do damage to expensive saw blades and chippers. What is crazy is I see numerous ladder stands, climbers, and climbing sticks grown into trees, which is exactly what the law intended to prevent. I have never seen any gaffs left in trees, and at $250 to $900 dollars a pop, I doubt I ever will. This in actuality, according to the purpose of the law makes gaffs the most legal of all climbing tools.

Loc On are hard to bear. I have 5 but I seldom use but one. I hang and unhang almost every day

I liked mine a lot. Lite and with a decent set of backpack straps vs their over the shoulder with the chain they'd carry in nice. I've set them a little to hard a few times. That's never fun. Lol. Standing on a step below the stand kneeling upward trying to break if free. That aid. Set right they're solid as a rock.

The chain is a pain. I think you would like the rope a lot better. It's almost impossible to set a spirit too hard with a rope. It's lighter, quieter, and faster, and so easy to remove from your back one handed. I do want to install some backpack straps for long hauls. I think I could add a load shelf that would double as a foot prop. That would make it a platform and a pack frame

Klein, but Gecko has some really neat all carbon climbers that I would love to have. Aluminum is nice too. Mine are steel and fairly heavy

5/8" I have plenty if u need some

It slips inside itself. I tighten it some, and the stand cams it tighter. To take it down you have to uncam the stand then the rope is loose enough to slip inside itself

@@TurkeyBowMaster300 Thanks! I have a bunch of those stands and never thought to cam the stand over like that. Your video also solved for me what the little hook on the side of the Platform is for. Now I need some tree spurs!

Be careful and get comfortable with the spurs. Learn what trees are problematic...shag bark hickory being one of then.

Yes it is pretty uncomfortable to leave the gaffs on

Thanks

Really?

There are times when I would feel more comfortable with one.

I use a f4 device and 8mm oplux and a Kong dna carabiner

Thank you

That's an old loc on spirit. I took the braces off and as long as it is tight around the tree it is solid

Thanks. It's safer than it looks.

I think you would be fine as long as you get them very sharp. You might would be better off trying a smaller Simmons first. Something like a Timbershark

I was hoping to stay with 250gr that is what I'm using now and my arrows are working really good just don't get good blood with the 3 to1 blades at 1 1/8 wide just really like the simon's great whites!

@george2099 Go for it. Simmons really penetrate great. Another option is the glue on treeshark at 2" wide. I believe it weights around 250 when mounted on an 100 grain steel taper. The great white weights right around 236.

I shot a hog really late and couldn't tell where I hit it. The line ran out a while then broke. It's been a little bit of a learning curve with it and I have lost a spool or two of line walking in. I figured out to plug the hole and used a .166 Id nock to plug it. I don't think I will lose line anymore and does season just started so maybe I can get some shots

Its like free climbing vertical cliffs...it's not for everyone but if you can do it go for it

I checked it myself. It was still beating

Thanks for the concern. It's not as bad as it looks

As long as I can wrap around the tree I feel safe. It's not as hard as it might look

Thanks

Good video

I've got some. I am adding bleeders to them.

Your welcome. A little bit of grit will make them have a grab edge
