Hunter Rescue

USA --(Ammoland.com)- You’ve heard the stories and perhaps even know someone who’s fallen from his or her treestand.

Such a fall without a safety harness can cause devastating injuries or even death.

Although harnesses are designed to stop your fall, what then? What will you do if you can’t get back into your stand?

Now you can put your fears of falling behind you with the Hunter Rescue Self Recovery Fall Arrest System. This full-body safety harness system is much more than just your basic safety harness. It was created for one and only one purpose – to allow the hunter to get to the ground in a controlled manner in the event of a fall from a treestand or other elevated platform. This system can also be used if your treestand has a catastrophic failure or if the two parts of your climbing stand become separated.

If you fall from your stand while wearing the Hunter Rescue System, you just have to locate the lanyard to the release arm and pull down. You will then travel down the rope to the ground.

Releasing the Hunter Rescue takes the same amount of force as initiating a pull up. A lighter person takes less force while a heavier person requires more. To stop, simply release the lanyard. The device will stop you automatically. It’s that simple!

The Hunter Rescue System can not only save your life, but it will provide you and your loved ones with a peace of mind that will make your hunting experience much more enjoyable.

FEATURES:

• Hunter Rescue
• Ease of Operation
• You control descent
• Reusable
• 45-300 weight range

Hang-On’ Buddy Treestand Mounting System

Predator Innovations

Fogelsville PA --(Ammoland.com)- Predator Innovations, LLC has invented a better way to hang treestands with their new Hang-On Buddy Treestand Mounting System.

Not only does this unique product allow for an easier, safer way to hang and remove treestands but it also offers greater versatility in treestand placement.

This sturdy, easy to use product reduces the awkward, challenging and sometimes precarious task of installing a treestand.

Jason Werkheiser explains: “The Hang-On Buddy is a two part system consisting of a steel Mounting Base that is secured to the tree and Universal Mounting Hooks that are bolted onto the treestand. The Mounting Base is secured on the tree with a ratchet strap, where it can remain until ready to install the stand.

The Mounting Hooks are then easily hooked into the Base and further secured with a locking pin. What this allows is an easier, faster and safer installation and removal of the stand. It also allows the hunter to adapt more treestand positions to move easily when necessary. In addition, it helps eliminate the threat of treestand theft, as the treestand can be quickly taken down at the end of the day.”

The Hang-On Buddy is made of 1/8” plate steel and has been tested by independent testing firms for structural strength and validated to over 1400lbs.

Werkheiser continued: “The Hang-On Buddy receives praise from many hunters who see a quality product that is relatively inexpensive, light weight, convenient and easy to use. This allows them to install a treestand with greater safety and ease and allows them to move one treestand from base to base to match hunting conditions. Not to mention taking their treestand out of the woods with them and preventing theft.”

Pennsylvania Game Commission

HARRISBURG, PA --(Ammoland.com)- The Pennsylvania Board of Game Commissioners today gave final approval to a regulatory change to allow the placement of portable hunting treestands and blinds from two weeks before the opening of the first big game season to two weeks after the close of the last big game season within each respective Wildlife Management Unit, excluding the spring gobbler season.

“Hunters need to remember that locating a treestand on State Game Lands does not reserve a hunting area,” Commissioner Weaner said. “The first person to arrive in a certain spot has the right to hunt that area.”

A portable treestand is one that is not permanently attached to a tree.

They include climbing, hang-on and ladder treestands, as well as those constructed and lashed to trees. Treestands nailed or bolted to trees are illegal on State Game Lands.

As approved, hunters will be able to place their treestands on State Game Lands two weeks prior to the archery deer season, and then have to remove the stands two weeks after the late flintlock deer seasons.

Due to the increase in demand for the Hang-On Buddy we were able to increase production and thus lower the per-unit costs. We are happy to be able to pass these savings on to our customers.”

The Hang-On Buddy is a strong treestand mounting system that enables the user to hang a treestand outfitted with the Mounting Hooks to the Mounting Bases that are secured to the tree. This enables the user to easily and more safely hang the treestand.

Hunter Safety Systems

DANVILLE, AL --(Ammoland.com)- In response to high customer demand, Hunter Safety System is pleased to announce the expansion of the popular Ultra Lite harness line with the introduction of the Ultra Lite X-TREME.

The new Ultra Lite X-TREME offers the same popular design as the Ultra Lite with a few added features.

Sporting the popular Realtree APG camouflage, the Ultra Lite X-TREME offers the addition of binocular/rangefinder straps. These straps are conveniently located near the shoulder/chest area and will adjust to fit each hunter individually.

Another change in this harness is that the loops for attachment of a lineman’s climbing strap have been relocated toward the front of the harness, making them easier to use.

Hunter Safety System Ultra Lite Harness To The X-TREME

Like all the Hunter Safety System harnesses, the new Ultra Lite X-TREME comes standard with a lineman’s climbing strap and a suspension-relief strap, which doubles as a deer-drag strap.

Weighing in at only 32 ounces, the new Ultra Lite X-TREME is the ideal harness for anyone who has to travel a long distance to the treestand or who prefers to feel unencumbered while staying safe.

With a suggested retail price of $119.99, the Ultra Lite X-TREME is now available at retailers nationwide.

Founded in 2001 and headquartered in Danville, Alabama, Hunter Safety System is a leading designer and manufacturer of innovative deer hunting gear and hunting equipment for the serious hunter.

Hunter Safety Systems

DANVILLE, AL --(Ammoland.com)- When Hunter Safety System opened its doors a decade ago, a new category in the sporting goods industry was born: the safety harness.

The idea behind the company back then was to make everyone’s treestand hunting experience as safe as possible, and that idea is still the primary motivation today.

It all began during the 2000 hunting season when Alabama whitetail hunter John Wydner’s treestand slipped out from underneath him.

Wydner saved his own life by grabbing a tree branch and hanging on for dear life, while watching his treestand crash to the forest floor, some 25 feet below. Wydner slowly slid down the tree trunk and made his way to camp, bloodied and shaken.

Back in the warmth of the hunting cabin, Wydner explained his brush with death to his hunting companions, brother Jerry Wydner and nephew Jerrod Karr. Soon, John, Jerry and life-long friend, Jim Barta found themselves surrounded by sketches as they brainstormed the concept of an easy-to-use and comfortable safety harness. That collaboration and those designs would very quickly change the course of the three men’s lives—and later save many thousands more from injury or death.

HSS’s Ultra Lite Safety Harness

In early 2001, Hunter Safety System was born as new safety harness prototypes were produced and tested. What initially began as an ambitious effort by two brothers and a close friend, later culminated in a new era of treestand safety with HSS becoming the industry-leading manufacturer of safety harnesses and accessories.

Before the introduction of the HSS safety harness, hunters struggled with hard-to-use fall-restraint products, they simply put a rope around themselves or, as in the case of John Wydner, they didn’t use anything at all. Now, a variety of harnesses certified to TMA standards are on the market, making treestand hunting much safer for everyone.

“Hunter Safety System’s 10-year anniversary represents a triumph in innovative vision and determined execution by three men to keep hunters safer while hunting from treestands,” said David Langston, HSS director of sales and marketing. “It is through their vision that this category was born, and so many lives have been saved. At HSS, we will continue to develop products that will keep our hunters coming home to their families and friends, night after night.”

Six points or not, he was a bonifed 'monster,' scoring 122 6/8, Thanks GhostBlind.

GhostBlind

Marietta, Ohio --(Ammoland.com)- Last year I had hunted from a few pop-ups that I had set up a few months before the 2009 – 2010 season start.

Not much success with the pop-ups, they were just to difficult to lug around and sometimes they tended to be a bit difficult to set up.

That all changed once I got my GhostBlind, now I could hunt the way that I really enjoyed, all day and in multiple spots.

Will Echart 2009 Early morning November 14th, I took my GhostBlind and set up in a new spot that I had been eying all year. There were scrapes and trails everywhere. I set up the GB about 30 yards across from the scrapes and sat down and got quiet.

After the fog lifted I saw a yearling buck walk across the sendero and back in the woods. Meanwhile I just happen to glance to my right and saw 2 mature buck back behind the oak trees.

The first buck was a young 8 point and the second was the biggest 6 point I had ever seen. They ducked back into the cover and I lost them for a few minutes, next thing I knew here comes the “Big 6″ working the scrape line that I was hunting. He had no idea that I was even there, he took his time inching his way down into bow range. As soon as he was within 30 yards, I drew my Elite bow back and released the arrow.

The 5.5 year old, “Big 6″ never knew what hit him, he ran about 300 yards and crumpled. Six points or not, he was a bonifed ‘monster,’ scoring 122 6/8″ (see picture).

This year my success continued with the harvest of a “True Texas Monster.” Will Echart 2010

Hunter Safety Systems

Danville, Alabama --(Ammoland.com)- Hunter Safety System is committed to providing treestand hunters with the highest quality safety products on the market.

In keeping with those commitments to safety, HSS announced an immediate voluntary recall of the carabineers that were included with the new HSS 300 Ultra Lite Harness.

There have been no reported incidents involving these carabineers; however, based on the high standards that Hunter Safety System requires, the company feels it is necessary to issue a voluntary recall based on recent findings. Through rigorous testing, it became apparent that the carabineer gate retention pins can inadvertently detach, permitting the carabineer gate to open and creating the possibility of the treestrap or lineman’s climbing strap to release from the carabineer, thereby allowing the user to fall.

“We feel this product does not meet our safety standards,” said John Wydner, HSS co-owner and president. “For this reason we are replacing all carabineers that were included with the HSS 300 Ultra Lite Harnesses free of charge, including shipping. Although we have not had any reports of this happening outside our factory, we are issuing this voluntary recall to maintain the highest possible product-quality standards for all of our customers.”

HSS’s Ultra Lite Safety Harness

Hunter Safety System representatives have been working around the clock to contact dealers and individuals who have purchased the HSS 300 Ultra Lite Harness regarding this recall and potential problem with the carabineer.

The UPC Code for this item is: 8-59540-00083-0. All owners and users of the HSS 300 Ultra Lite Harness are directed to immediately discontinue use of the carabineers and the included Lineman’s Climbing Strap, and they should contact Hunter Safety System at 877-296-3528 for a carabineer exchange.

“We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause our loyal customers,” Wydner said.

“We are doing everything in our power to make this exchange as easy as possible; however, we want everyone to be safe. That is the most important thing in the world to everyone here at Hunter Safety System.”

Founded in 2001 and headquartered in Danville, Alabama, Hunter Safety System is a leading designer and manufacturer of innovative deer hunting gear and hunting equipment for the serious hunter.

Treestand Manufacturer’s Association

HATTIESBURG, Mississippi --(Ammoland.com)- Representatives from Hunter Safety System and the Treestand Manufacturer’s Association conducted hands-on treestand safety demonstrations for hunter education coordinators and volunteer instructors at the 2010 International Hunter Education Association (IHEA) Annual Conference in Estes Park, Colorado, June 2-5.

But the big news for the TMA was IHEA’s adoption of new treestand safety standards on the last day of the conference.

On Friday, June 4, TMA representatives participated in the IHEA Standards Committee meeting to discuss proposed treestand safety standards. Then, at the IHEA business meeting on Saturday, June 5, state representatives unanimously approved the treestand safety standards as put forth by the Standards Committee.

“TMA is extremely excited that the members of IHEA have voted to adopt treestand safety standards for hunter education,” said John Louk, executive director of the TMA.

“Incorporating treestand safety in the hunter education programs throughout all 50 states will be a major factor in reducing the number of treestand incidents.

“As a member of TMA in the Manufacturing Class, Hunter Safety System’s show of support to state agencies and IHEA played a key role in the adoption of treestand safety standards which will benefit the entire membership and also encourage states to establish and teach a more consistent message related to treestand safety,” Louk concluded.

The TMA operates as a Non-profit 501(c)(6) which specifically devotes its resources to promote treestand safety. It endeavors to improve treestand safety by education in the proper use of treestands, the development of treestand manufacturing standards, product testing, manufacturing quality control and the promotion of mandatory use of Fall Arrest Systems/Full Body Harness devices.

“There is no shortage of tall tales and outrageous stories at “the deer camp” and we thought it would be fun to create an annual contest to share those stories and memories.”

The Southern Deer Stands Best Deer Blind Contest is being held in conjunction with Cable Smith’s outdoor radio program “Lone Star Outdoors Show” which can be heard in the Dallas and San Antonio areas, as well as over the internet on his website.

“We have had some great donations and sponsors get behind the idea for the deer blind contest and winners will take home some pretty nice prizes.” stated Griffin, “Another key component of the contest is that the three lucky winners will be able to claim their prizes at the start of the 2010 deer season.”
