I suppose you have never heard of duct tape, Tom? :lol:

Actually, that's perfect. I'm glad it's working out. Of course, it needs to harvest a deer before it gets your seat of approval, right? :D

Hahaha! That is too funny. I was at the store yesterday and saw a roll of camo duct tape and picked it up. I had a senior's moment trying to think of what I wanted camo duct tape for, couldn't remember, so I put the tape back on the shelf. Oh well, with material I can return the GB to stock condition in a minute with no gummy residue.

You're right Sumner - the proof will be in the harvest.

The only problem with the camo duct tape . . .it's shines. Don't they know it needs to be a matte finish?

I have not seen duct tape in a matte finish . . .is it out there?

Of couse, a lot of threads seem to end up talking about duct tape. :lol:

I haven't bought any in many years. The tape I used 15 years ago isn't shiny anymore! But for the GB it would be on the inside anyways.

Duct tape has a million use. That could be why all threads lead to duct tape! :D

There's a test that was conducted and featured in the latest issue of Bow & Arrow hunting magazine. Mostly covered expandables, though. I have shot through mess a few times with Muzzy, Phantom, and Magnus Stingers with excellent results.

Just yard test it on your target.
