    Well boys i dont know if i just missed it or didnt look close enuf but i had the crap scared outta a poor lady running next to me..
    On my cascadia i had a ss wilson like ant mount with my 7ft skip shooter on it..To keep my skip shooter from swaying to much i had 5 ft of pvc pipe over it....
    Friggin ant mount itself broke and it all went flying..
    Noise rattled me for a sec till i realized what happened...
    Anyways boys n gals,its always a good time to go over stuff on your down time...
    Maintaince is everything,shoulda known something was up cause i lost alot of range.. 20170909_165007.jpg

    Sounds like with that pvc pipe, caused too much wind load for that mount...Have you checked Breedloves mounts? Bet he has something that's a little beefier-built that could handle more wind load...If he don't have anything like what you need...He also builds custom brackets.

    well Craig a few months back, maybe even a year back someone was on here who made them or something like that and I said then and will repeat it again - you guys see the serious flaw with this mount?

    upload_2017-9-10_23-32-27.png All Stainless Steel, the only way to go! Probably won't need this anymore when I retire....Walmart is going all KW where I'm at. I may just sell it..........
