RE: Biggest gimmick purchase through the years
OK...
Best: Would have to have come in Sitka Gear...more ways to enjoy the outdoors in ALL climates. But the release by far has to be the best in increasing accuracy.
Worst : I would have to say the worst archery gadget would of had to be the Trackmaster...it went against the whole pass thru thing.
Turkey : Anyone still carry the Dead Silence ??

Best; I'll second the Thermacell... all the way.... along with a Surefire Flashlight and a good pair of binos (I have the top model Bushnell made at the time... now they are like middle of the road bushnells... but still a big improvement over $100 glass). I invest in several good books every year that keep me entertained in the stand and keep me sitting still and in place.
Worst; Deer calls (except for the can calls... they work).... deer scents.... cover scents.... scent-lok.....

RE: Biggest gimmick purchase through the years
wasent there some kinda tracking line that tied onto your arrow and when you shot you just followed the string? That was a real bright idea (sarcasim) Overdraws, bodoodles, and those things that replace fletching and pop off when the arrow goes through the deer.
Best- Rage broadheads, and the hostage pro rest, The can
