How many of these can I connect together to create a long speed rail? Could I connect 3 or 4?
Asked by: Scott
A single set of the Matthews 1 1/4" Grip Rail (Long, 41-72") will allow you lengths of 41-72". It's possible to connect more, but you would need some more stand support for every junction of the rail to keep it level.
