Press Release:
Don’t climb down…send the TreeTalon!
Bucksport, ME – We’ve all done it…dropped our release, a glove, a grunt call while perched in our tree stand. Which leave us two choices – do without for the remainder of the hunt or unhook your safety belt and climb down risking that we’ll spook game. TreeTalon solves this problem quickly and quietly. Now you can get your item without getting down.
With the Tree Talon You simply pull back the arm or “Talon”‘ and cock it at 90 degrees. Lower the unit so it lands next to your dropped item. Once the TreeTalon hits the ground, the impact activated “talon” grabs your dropped item for you to pull back up! TreeTalon is strong and built to hold up to 35 lbs. You can even use TreeTalon when first climbing into your stand to haul up your bow or pack or to lift tree stands.
With an adjustable “foot” at the bottom of Tree Talon you avoid grabbing leaves and other forest litter when picking items up. An internal rubber bumper stifles noise when the “Talon” closes, while a serrated edge and specially designed teeth enhance grip on objects.
or to lift tree stands. Pick up your gloves, arrows, releases, hats, calls, facemasks, binoculars, packs, etc. Virtually anything you didn’t mean to drop.
Don’t go hunting without your TreeTalon. For more information visit www.treetalon.com.
I can see how this would be quite useful if it works as advertised. They note that you shouldn’t use it to retrieve loaded firearms, something I was going to point out.
