    What kind of Spurs are these?

    Thanks for pointing out this previous thread. These spikes would certainly be rough on the tree and the climber too.

    What kind of Spurs are these?

    I came across this YouTube video of a climber in Japan. He is using an interesting set of spurs I have never seen before. I think I have heard mention of these in other threads but this is the first time I have seen them. Has anyone had experience with this type of spur? This climber does...

    N. e. Thanks for the offer. Let me get together with my gun toting buddies and see if they have something that fits a little better than the 30-06 I am currently using. I will let you know if we have no luck.

    N.e.Tree, I just got a hold of a 30-30 Win. and found it to be too small for the Slic Pin used in the RR. Are there different sized 30-30s?

    So far the Aeris and the RR are not a great match. I either need to dial in the upper bollard or what I would really like is to get some Yale 11.7.

    I just got my RR in Dec. while it was still warm up here in Vermont. Now that the cold has finally set in I really see the need for a Slic Pin key. I think I saw where TreeStuff has one in the works. But until they have that to offer I thought I would see what I could use in the meantime...

    The BEST so far.

    I saw my old potato canon in the garage and thought that is a lot like the APTA. So I found a butterfly valve on line and assembled a new "throw bag" cannon out of PVC. I robbed a gauge & air valve assembly from a old portable air tank. Used 3" diameter PVC for the air reservoir and can...
