Here is a cheap an easy to build elevation bracket for a bowlight or hoglight. I had some scrap metal laying around that I used for the bracket. I bought a 5/16 x 24 bolt to attach it to my bow.
First step was to cut the metal to about 6 and 1/2 inches and I grinded the edges so as to not cut myself. I used a wire brush to clean it up a bit.
Next step was to paint the bracket, nut and bolt. All I had was glossy black spray paint but the shine isn't too bad so it will work.
Using a vice, I bent the bracket at about a 35-40 degree angle at both ends. (In retrospect, this step should be done before painting so as to not scratch the paint with the vise)
I secured it to the riser with the bolt, a metal washer and I also used a rubber washer so as to reduce any vibration. Then I attached my Marauder to the top of the bracket.
With the wing nut on my Marauder I can adjust the light up or down to get the proper illumination on my target. The bracket doesn't feel too heavy and I felt no vibration shooting with it on. Should work great in the ground blind. Since I had most of the materials, my total cost was under a buck!
