Abstract: The present invention generally relates to a one-piece all aluminum broadhead having from 2 to 5 cutting blades, wherein each cutting blade has a tapered thickness wherein the thickness of each blade is from 0.06 inches up to about 0.25 inches immediately behind the cutting edge and a thickness at the base of said blade that is from 1.5 to 2.5 times thicker than the thickness of said blade immediately behind said cutting edge. The broadhead of the invention may be machined as a single component from, for example, bar stock material. One or more steps of the broadhead machining or manufacturing process may be automated, for example by the use of one or more robotic gripping arms. In one embodiment the one-piece all aluminum broadhead has three cutting blades and is hard anodized.

Abstract: The invention relates to improved climbing sticks for use in climbing trees for hunting or other purposes. The climbing sticks includes a center support beam having a pair of support brackets mounted at the top and bottom ends of the support beam configured to engage a tree on which the climbing stick is placed and a releasable securing arrangement for securing the climbing stick about the tree. The climbing stick of the invention is characterized by comprising at least two pairs of steps rotatably mounted to the support beam at the top, center, and/or bottom of the support beam opposite the support brackets. The pair of steps can either be rotated in opposite directions or they can both be rotated in the same direction.

Abstract: The present invention generally pertains to a motion sensing camera for monitoring and photographing wildlife and more specifically pertains to such a wildlife camera with optical zoom capability that allows one to photograph game animals from a greater distance, reducing the likelihood of alarming game animals being photographed/filmed. The wildlife surveillance camera also optionally comprises EMF and/or RF shielding material that substantially reduces the electromagnetic field generated by said camera.

Abstract: A bow holder is vertically and horizontally adjustable for holding limbs of an archery bow during hunting. A securement mechanism couples a fixed limb of the bow holder to the tree stand. A vertically adjustable limb is coupled to the fixed limb. A series of rungs hold variable position o-rings in position for side-to-side securement of the bow to the bow holder.

Abstract: The present invention generally relates to a one-piece climbing sticks for use in climbing trees for hunting or other purposes. The climbing sticks of the invention are characterized by a double step, one-piece design wherein the center support structure and the double steps emanating therefrom are fabricated from a single sheet or piece of aluminum and/or aluminum alloy.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an archery bow accessory that can be removably mounted to the riser of an archery bow. The accessories of the invention can be used to change the color, camo pattern, and/or shape of an archery bow riser to conceal and blend same in to different environments and/or to change the appearance of the archery bow to a color or fashion preference of the archer.

Abstract: The invention generally relates to a wind indicating device used for determining wind detection. The device comprises two chambers which can contain two different materials for determining the direction the wind is traveling and/or swirling. This is beneficial to hunters in pursuit of game animals.

Abstract: A camera mount may include a base member having a rear face to face a support structure and a front face, the front face a curved guide surface, a camera support having a rear face facing the front face of the base member, the rear face of the camera support comprising a guide abutting surface and a retainer resiliently biasing the guide abutting surface against the curved guide surface to releasably retain the camera support at one of a plurality of different positions along the curved guide surface and at one of a plurality of different available orientations relative to the support structure.

Abstract: The present invention generally relates portable treestand for hunters which comprises a platform and a seat member wherein when the treestand if folded up for easy transport the seat interlocks to the treestand platform creating a shelf useful for carrying gear, backpacks, game, etc. In one embodiment, the platform and/or seat are each of one-piece construction fabricated from a solid aluminum/aluminum alloy workpiece, optionally by a waterjet process. The invention also contemplates improved climbing sticks, also referred to as ladder modules, for use in climbing trees for hunting or other purposes. The module includes one or more support brackets mounted to the support member. The brackets are generally V-shaped and include a number of teeth on the interior surface of the bracket that engage the tree on which the module is placed to prevent the module from slipping on the tree.

Abstract: The present invention generally relates to an offset treestand stabilizing bracket and to a treestand employing same. The treestand stabilizing bracket of the invention greatly enhances the safety of the treestand by minimizing the slipping and/or shifting of same during usage, especially when attached to trees that are crooked and/or not vertical.

Abstract: The present invention is an improved safety harness for use by individuals in elevated positions. The harness has a highly simplified construction in which a pair of straps is connected to an adjustable waist belt and extends around the body of an individual to form shoulder portions and leg portions for the harness. The leg portions are secured at one end to the waist belt and include a releasable clasp at the opposite end that is engageable with the waist belt to releasably secure the harness to an individual. The harness also includes a safety line engageable with the harness and with a support holding the individual in an elevated position, where the harness includes a shock absorbing and sliding mechanism capable of gradually stopping or arresting the fall of the individual while also allowing the individual to manually lower the individual to the ground along the safety line.
