Levi Morgan and the Most Versatile Crossbow and Gun Rest on the Market
By Tracy Breen
The name Levi Morgan and bowhunting go hand in hand, but now Levi has a reason to carry a crossbow over shoulder. “Last year I introduced my son, Landon to archery by teaching him how to shoot a Mission crossbow,” said Morgan. “Everybody knows I am a diehard archer and bowhunter but crossbows are a great tool to use to introduce kids to the sport of archery.”
There is no question that crossbows are easier to sight in and shoot than a vertical bow, but they still come with many challenges. “When introducing a kid to a crossbow, one of the biggest struggles is helping them keep the crossbow steady when they are shooting,” Morgan explained. Crossbows have come a long way in the last few years, but even the lightest compact crossbow can be hard for a young child to hold steady and shoot. Even adults can struggle with keeping a crossbow steady when hunting.
Last year, Levi Morgan and his son learned first hand how difficult it can be to keep a crossbow steady when there is a deer in the crosshairs. “When I deer hunt with my son Landon, we hunt out of deer blinds. It can be tough to keep a crossbow balanced while you are resting it on the window sill of a blind,” Morgan said. “My son missed a deer last year because we couldn’t keep the crossbow steady.”
Currently on the market are several types of shooting sticks and tripods that make using a crossbow easier, but the problem is many options currently available take up a lot of space in a blind or treestand and they aren’t user friendly.
This year, Fourth Arrow Camera arms set out to solve the problem. They recently developed the Final Rest shooting system and gave one to Levi Morgan to test with his son. “The Final Rest system keeps a crossbow super steady, takes up zero floor space, and can be adjusted to fit young hunters and adults. This will be a game changer for my son this fall,” said Morgan.
The Final Rest System can pivot between windows in stationary blinds, is lightweight, and packable. “I like the fact that if we see a deer in another window, we can pivot the crossbow while it is locked in the Final Rest and shoot. It gives hunters more flexibility. We aren’t forced to shoot out of just one window with this system. It gives hunters more options.
Whether you are a hardcore hunter looking to increase your accuracy at long distances or you are introducing a kid to hunting with a crossbow or gun, check out the Final Rest Shooting System from Fourth Arrow. It will change the way you hunt.
