Advanced Design Features
The UTG Tree Talon | JAKT GEAR features an ambidextrous, fully adjustable design. Extend or retract the shaft to position the claw near your weapon's centerline while maintaining hooking clearance. The UTG Tree Talon | JAKT GEAR shaft rotates a full 360 degrees, allowing you to lock the claw in any direction. For optimal stability, we recommend aligning the UTG Tree Talon | JAKT GEAR claw parallel with the gravitational force exerted on your weapon when hanging from the Toolbelt system.
Elevate your hunting experience with the revolutionary UTG Tree Talon | JAKT GEAR weapon mounting system—secure, accessible, and always ready for that perfect shot.

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