Hit the beach in OCMD for what will probably be the last time until spring.
It was one of my most frustrating day of hunting ever. This was not because of the lack of targets, which were few and nothing over a dime.
Here is the frustrating part, about 2 hours into the hunt I broke my fluorescent green, bolt on handle assistant. 2nd one in as many months, don't think I'll be buying another one. Both broke in the exact same spot. Then to make matters worse my wood handle started showing signs of cracking about 6 inches above the scoop. Time to call it a season.
I refuse to quit...
No more wood handles for me. I'm going to spend some time in the shop this winter tinkering with new handles. I've got a couple ideas, I'd love to hear from everybody around here. Let me know about materials, design, length, diameter of handle. I'm open to all options because as of now, I cannot find anything that is designed for our needs. We have to modify it to fit our needs.
Looking forward to your input.
Thanks
