Looks like it's working well. Always fun to come up with DIY solutions.

Hey, cool man! Had to flip my monitor to get the full effect, though.

But, what? No broadhead? Whaddya do in case of 'coon attack? Or, that deer-of-opportunity? Probably don't matter, if you're vegan (And I'm not calling names!). Anyway, well executed, and you add a lot of class, with the all-weather vanes. Slick move.

Haha I took the fetching off finally couldn't atm because was testing to make sure everything was fitting together as it should, and if a coon attacks I'll beat it with something lol nothing says I would have to use my arrows

I'm not sure what's up with the picture uploading situation it's like really glitchy with my phone for some reason some times it works and others it doesn't l. I'm not sure how it ended up sideways 0_0
I took a video of the set up talking about it some more although I'm not sure if I can up lode videos on here or not (if so I'm not sure how to)

What length arrow shafts did you use and how did you join the shafts together? I like this a lot!

Each arrow shafts is cut to 28 inches long including the knock, the bigger diameter arrow shafts are cut to 5 and 1/4 inches long.
I take the 28 inch long arrow glue the bigger diameter shafts that's 5 1/4th inches long and put that over the end of one of the 28 inch long arrow shafts and glue it into place so that end is fixed.
and on the other half is another 28 inch long arrow shaft and it just slides into the other half of the thicker diameter shafts that's 5 1/4th inches long they just slide togeather just like tent poles dO. If someone know ls how I can share a video here I'll up lode the video about it.

But these lengths are what work for my tarp. I can't say if it would work with other tarps may have to adjust the lengths but that's easy enough to do.
