Re: bow shooting left

that's good news. also put a little loc tite on them as well as all the loose bolts that came in the kit. I also checked all the bolts that was pre assembled in the kit. most were tight but a couple I had to re tighten.
good luck

Re: Blinds ?

I'm trying one out this year from hunters specialties. it has 5 stakes that push into the ground. it's 12 feet long and you can adjust each stake from 24" inches up to 56". I used it today and worked pretty good. it's pretty light only weighs a couple of pounds.
