Got an aluminum high rack made for the big cat contest this weekend out in west Texas. Pretty light weight, can load and unload with 1 person by sliding but super easy to do it with 2 people.
Mounted a couple Predator Cannon Light Bars to the shooting chairs for scanning and shooting. Have been using them on other rigs and have always worked really well for us. Excited to put this rig to the test

He may of seen my post on Facebook. I'm pretty pumped. We are hunting all over, starting in Austin County and working our way west. How about y'all?

I’m always surprised people in these contests still use lights and not thermals.

We run both thermal and lights but these predator cannon bars are way easier to spot eyes and not worry about a lagging digital screen or batteries going dead. The lights are pretty fool proof. We keep them set on low intensity for scanning to find eyes and then turn it up when we're on em getting ready to shoot. No better way to do it in my opinion.

That's awesome, the two I own weigh about 10,000 pounds each and are man killers in and out of the truck. Good Luck this weekend.
