I guess by now you know I LOVE to tinker. Got an idea brewing: what if your coil weighed......nothing? How long could you hunt? How much stress off of your shoulder?
What if I said...it could actually happen?
Simple...design a lower stem that is normal diameter at its ends. However, the center of the lower stem would be larger. The upper attachment point of the stem would be threaded and the large center would be tapped to accept it. Into the larger cylinder you would insert....a plastic SEALED cylinder of....helium.
The perceived weight of the coil would be offset...dramatically. Wudja think? Doable?
