Final Approach Eliminator Pro Guide Blind Set Up Question

[LuvMyLab]

Hey Everyone,

I just got 2 of the FA Eliminator Pro Guide blinds from www.rogerssportinggoods.com. They are the version with the telescoping arms.

Question to anybody that has this version. I've set one of them up and where the telescoping arm screws into the braket on the gun rest it doesn't sit straight in the braket .

See cheap diagram below (It's the only way I can think to explain what I'm trying to ask LOL!)

|__|--This is the braket on the gun rest that the arm screws into and pivots in when colapsing and setting up.

| -- this is the end of the telescoping arm that the screw goes in

So instead of sitting like this |_|_| when set up or colapsed it sits in the braket on an angle like this |_/_|. Is this the normal positioning of the joint between the Telescoping arm and gun rest? The instructions said the blind comes assembled but my was completely disassembled.

Hope that makes sense LOL!

I'm going to replace the screws that hold the telescoping arm with pins like on the doors so I can make the blind even smaller. Anybody do this as well?

i dont really understand the bracket thing. i dont know about with your but with mine mine doesnt really fold down without the plastic on the bars bending. im trying to do the same thing as you, changing the screws to pins but im having trouble finding a place with pins

Thanks bird hunter.

What I'm trying to say is I'd expect the bracket at the end of the telescoping arm to sit square in the female bracket on the gun rest that it screws to but it seems to sit in there on an angle. "Left /Right" angle opposed to the direction it pivots.

I emailed FA asking if I could order a couple of those pins but they haven't gotten back to me. I will probably call on friday.

i have the same blind from the same place, mine came with instructions. anyway i think that is how it is supposed to be. the blind material wraps around that pole and velcros.(gun rest) mine is the older style that doesnt break down.
