Benefits of the Tree Talon
- Your weapon always hangs in the perfect position to provide quick access with minimal movement, so you never miss that shot of a lifetime.
- You never have to battle screwing a hook or anything else into your tree, so you always stay legal on public land.
- A bow or gun hanger protruding from the tree will never interfere with your shot or bang against your weapon.
- Hooks in securely...You never have to worry about accidentally bumping your weapon and it falling off a traditional-style tree hook or falling over in the blind.
- Unlike other fixed-position bow-mounted hooks, the Tree Talon can still be used with your quiver attached to your bow.
- Hooking into the Tree Toolbelt is a great way to stabilize your rifle and support its weight during the shot.
The Tree Talon is ambidextrous and fully adjustable. You can extend/retract the "shaft" to position the "claw" as close to your weapon's centerline as possible while leaving room to hook the claw into place. The "shaft" can be rotated 360 degrees to lock down the "claw" in any direction. (We recommend positioning the "claw" to be parallel with the direction of the gravitational force exerted on your weapon when hanging from the Tree Toolbelt or Blind Toolbelt.)
Mount options
- Bow-limb Mount
Adjust-to-fit, silicone compression-mounted limb dampeners attach the Tree Talon between the top limbs of spit-limb bows. It has six silicone spacers to customize it to fit most bows with limbs between 0.5" and 1.50" apart.
Pro Tip: Mount as close to the limb pocket of your bow as possible to provide maximum clearance for cam rotation.
2. Picatinny Rail Mount
Mounts to any standard Picatinny Rail with two or more top slots
Shown with optional Swivel Stud-mounted Picatinny Rail (Sold separately)
3. Shotgun/Rifle Barrel Mount
Mount clamps directly to the barrel of your shotgun or rifle. (Fits most 12-gauge and smaller round shotgun and rifle barrels.)

Optional Accessories

3. 45-degree Picatinny Rail Adapter
Sold separately, the 45-degree Picatinny Rail Adapter changes the angle at which the Tree Talon shaft protrudes from your weapon. It is recommended for use with all crossbows to provide limb clearance when hooking into the Tree Toolbelt.
4. M-LOK Adapter
Sold separately, the M-LOK Adapter enables the Tree Talon to be mounted directly to weapons equipped with an M-Lok (Modular Lock) Interface System. This adapter facilitates a slimmer, lighter, and smoother weapon profile than the Tree Talon with Picatinny Rail Mount.)

We recommend using Loctite 222 (Purple low-strength threadlocker for small fasteners) on the threads of all screws used in the assembly of your Tree Talon, mount and adapters. This will prevent fasteners from backing out due to vibration, shock, or thermal expansion but will allow for disassembly/re-assembly.
