View Full Version : gimmicks? what have you wasted money on?
Archerdad 10-28-2007, 11:39 PM i got a winchester(?) light at wal-mart for blood trails and it sucked and then just quit working and had never been dropped, so after 3 new ones and the same problem, i decided ..gimmick:frusty:
then there is probably about anything they sell on tv...:doh:
Gator eye 10-29-2007, 05:17 AM Scent-loc:frusty: :frusty:
Gator eye 10-29-2007, 07:35 AM I got one of the thingys that velcro on your ankle that is suppose to hold your bow for you while on the stand.......:doh: What was I thinking?:noidea:
bfisher 10-29-2007, 07:44 AM Sights made of plastic. Wrist strap caliper releases. Sight lights. Drop away rests with a cord attachment. Lots of camo clothes. Cheap hunting boots. The list can go on and on.

longcut36 10-29-2007, 08:11 AM anything advertise on tv for 19.99
Crimson Talons count?
Scent loc and Code Blue
jcscan71 10-29-2007, 09:33 AM I got one of them lights for christmas last year. All I can say is JUNK!!! I would toss it if it wasn't a gift.
Gator eye 10-29-2007, 09:38 AM Crimson Talons count?
Scent loc and Code Blue
LOL So your the one that purchased that Code Blue.:doh:
Don't feel bad Crimson Talons are on my list too.
How about Gum-o-flaug.....fess up, how paid good money for that...LOL
jcscan71 10-29-2007, 09:41 AM I know I am not wasting any money on any chewing gum. If they are close enough to smell my breath then I suspect they will already have an arrow thru-em.
Scablands 10-29-2007, 10:00 AM One of those little flashlights that you crank for power. Not very bright and didn't work long, at least it didn't cost me anything, I got it as a gift. Another gift, a pair of gaiters [sp?] to keep snow out of my boots. They were camo but too noisy to hunt with. Most everything gotten for hunting as a gift from non hunters. I just ask for cash now, I'm not offended and don't have to act like I appreciate another useless gift.:tape:

IChim2 10-29-2007, 02:29 PM Can't really think of anything(although i'm sure i have here and there)cause i try not to buy into what i concider a "fad".I don't concider it a gimmick...but i'd like to have some of the money back that i figure i wasted on :tape: carbon arrows over the past 3 years trying to find 6 that would all fly the same...i know they've gotten better but not enough to convince me to mess with them again.
Dredly 10-29-2007, 03:05 PM Anyone remember the Windstalker cable guides? they work great... till they cut your strings in half.
