My answer to wood chips. That Arkie Barkie.

This is a simple recovery tool that works best in wood chips. When using it, I
usually don’t have to bend over except to pick up the target.

It makes recovering targets in wood chips faster and easier.

You buy a Camp Fork at Wal- Mart’s Sporting Goods section for $2.97.

Cut about 3” off the two ends of the fork. Bend the fork ends in a slow spiral
as in the photo. Bend an 80 degree angle just below the handle. Make a slight
bend below the handle as in photo.

Now you have a genuine Arkie Barkie Twister.

Check out this short, un-rehearsed video.

After recovering roughly 3,000 targets, the thing started to bend a little. It
still works though.

I never wore one out, but I've lost a few.

It won’t work well if there is a lot of roots in the wood chips. That's what
caused mine to start bending.

I have been using this tool for about 10 months now. I’m still sold on it.
It saves me a ton of bending and squating. Also speeds up recoveries a lot.

Hope you enjoy my idea.

I will try that idea at the playground with all the wood chips near my dad's house. I am tired of bending over in wood chip parks too.
