Full Range Hanging Systems has introduced its latest innovation to spruce up your trophy room—the Pedestal System. This new system allows hunters a way to display up to three shoulder mounts in a single system, and allows the same pivoting function as all Full Range systems. This can be a great way to showcase your prize mounts all in a single spot, or even to highlight a collection of animals of a particular species. A versatile piece, the Pedestal System can be positioned atop such a simple base as a barrel or tree stump, or even incorporated into a full environmental display.
