Here's one: Broadhead co's that sell their product in packages of 3. I find that really annoying! My quiver holds 6 arrows, so now I have to spend almost twice the amount to put broadheads on 6 arrows.

Cougar I have a set of browning bibs , they dont have a single pocket , not one , what were they thinking . I genraly like everything browning makes , thet spend time in good design and quality control , but bibs with no pockets , thats crazy , everything else about them is great .
Rusty bow parts are a problem , especialy a limbbolt that rusts , they should be stainlesss .
Plastic sightgaurds , and pins , like to break .
Stock bowstrings , unless you have a pearson , bowtech , or ross

I'd like to get a tree ladder that had a good set of ratchet straps with it.....right out of the box. I end up replacing them all, right away.

I'd like to have a 3D deer that didn't require a hydraulic system to remove the arrows.

I have a couple.

1. Bow accesories that are expensive, yet made out of a lot of plastic.
2. Backpack straps that come with most the stands. They are most of the time junk and I always replace them.
3. Noisy backpacks. I hate packs that have noisy zippers, or the overall construction is horrendously noisy. Thats why I use Badlands packs.

Check out Morrell's Bionic Buck... I think you'd love it. The midsection is a bag target, and from all accounts offers easy one-hand removal.

I'll add noisy camo's and leafy wear. Heck I even had a pair of camo wolverine boots I couldn't wear while hunting because the pig skin near the laces would make a horrible noise if I just flexed my toes.

Keep it quiet please[8D], or it stays home...

Just thought of another- scent lock camo's that stink.

My original camo scent lock always stank l like spray paint or 4 wheeler exhaust tome (one smell, hard to pin down).
So I swore off buying into the gimmick ever again- Until no trace camo came along.

NOW MY NO-TRACE SMELLS TOO . I'm not sure what smell it is picking up, but fresh from the sealed storage container it has a distinct funk to it that I can smell with my human nose. GREAT, another set of camo's I have no use for.

I'll try them again next season and if the results are the same they will go in my pile of useless camo's.
