For starters Thank you for taking the time to make this video for us DIY'ers. This video is specific to the Cmapson Predator rope as this young man has mentioned. If you try to use normal boat type rope videos, They will not work like this because this rope is so time, those other videos will not be too much help for you. Second, if you dont do this all the time, he did mention in at the end when he was milking the main sheath down to the eye and popping it, popping it is very important and if you will wear some gloves, it wont hurt. your hand as badly because you have to really pull this sheath hard.. I have made several spliced eyes for my own gear, and this is by far the best video I have seen especially specific for us saddle hunters who need to save money everywhere we can.. I will also go onto say, if you are unsure, buy his ropes already made. I encourage you to try, because learning is important, safety being more important, I would encourage you to use a rope made my a pro, in stead of falling out of a tree as your drawing back. your bow. Good luck everyone and thanks again Van for making this video. Dale
Very thorough Dale. Cant remember if we said it or not but, we do this type of work for a living and you are 100% right, if you dont do this type of thing all the time, gloves are definitely the way to go. Without gloves, its definitely going to hurt a good bit haha. Appreciate you for taking the time to watch and comment. Stay safe and good luck this season.
There are a bunch of different brands. D-Splicers are usually good though. You'll need the larger size and a hell of a grip to actually cut the rope. The trimming and other stuff can be done with smaller sizes.
