I've got one.  I even have a couple spare if you're needing one.
What sort of measurements do you need?

I'm wondering if you can measure from the top of the middle feather down to the bottom of the plastic bracket, and then the length of the slot for the bolt. 

I'm trying to decide if it will work on my decoy better than what I have already. 

Also, do the two bottom feathers open up to pretty much horizontal, or not quite that far?

Thanks!

You can adjust the feathers to open up as far as you want before you put on the opening string.

Thanks guys! I really appreciate the help..

The thing I have now works with my decoy, but I'm afraid it sits too high and looks kinda goofy (to me anyways, but maybe not to a turkey?).

I'm going to make another thread and see what people think. 

Thanks again.

Does anyone know where I might be able to purchase one of these kits, Lucky Duck shows them as not available.  Thanks
