Cool new gadget by local company

[bigorange]

I've always really liked gadgets, especially hunting gadgets. When I first heard about the ArmourDillo, I was shooting with my friend Nathan and he saw me setting my bow on top of my foot instead of the ground...he told me I needed an ArmourDillo and showed me one. I immediately thought "Now why didn't I think of that?"

 

This is a cool new gadget being produced by Hedog Archery, a Tucson company started by Nathan and Paul Lawson. If you live in Tucson or hunted archery elk in Unit 27 in September, you've probably seen Nathan's recognizable camo 4runner with Hedog logos on it.

 

The concept is simple and effective. It's almost like a foot that goes on the bottom of your bow to protect your bottom cam from rocks, sand, mud, whatever you don't want to set it in. One of my hunting buddies calls it my kickstand for my bow. It's already gone from cool gadget to necessity for me.

 

I've only had mine for a couple of weeks, but has already come in handy on a couple of stalks. I was able to set my bow down with minimal movement and lean it against my leg while quickly glassing with both hands..even with an arrow nocked. I always wonder about new gadgets on my bow adding weight, noise, vibration, etc. The weight of the ArmourDillos is minimal, no vibration, and it actually seems to help with vibration dampening.

 

Check out www.hedogarchery.com to see this new idea. I've talked to Nathan about becoming a CWT sponsor, so maybe you'll see them on here soon too. I'll edit and post pics of my ArmourDillo soon...hopefully laying across a buck!
