[RDXA] My Vertical got bent

[Rick Mintz]

A more unusual fix, but effective is....

Clamp the bent portion straight and drive a wood dowel rod to that point. I have done it and it works FB.

P.S. The Mean Time Between Failures for deer is 20 years so your timing is right. For dear is much, much shorter.

  Hi Everyone:


  Well, it was bound to happen.  I came home last night and found my ground mounted vertical was bent.  Seems a deer got tangled in the guy rope and now is has a sexy curve.  


  So, once I get it on the benches, I am wondering the best way to get it straight.   I am thinking pressure in the reverse direction of the bend.  I just don't want to kink it.  I welcome any ideas you have.


  First my Volvo some 20 years ago and now this.  I really do not like these deer.
