$20 off is not enticing enough for me to pre order, I will wait until Christmas money rolls through! But I definitely want it!

I like the name. The Kestrel is a mini hawk. We like to hunt light and hunt from the air just like a Kestrel. Had some nest in a bank barn I used to have 20 years ago. Great name

First time I read the description, I thought it was 20% off. Second time I saw the $ sign after the 20.

If a SitDrag, and a Trophyline fell in love and made a saddle baby, then put their little baby on the Ivan Drago Rocky 4 workout plan, this would be the result.

I thought the same thing watching this!! Kudos to Boswell for making an exceptional informative video. New tribe quality hands #1.

I remember when i started using the aerohunter and wanted something simpler which led to the sitdrag. Even thoough the sitdrag was far simpler and cheaper it always left something in the back of my mind that it was a mod did I do it right etc.

Now the Kestral is here not as cheap but a high end fully certified saddle. With some features that we have not seen before. Really cool stuff loaded with options.

Nice job but one problem!!! WHICH COLOR DO I GET??????

Great video... I want one. How does the comfort compare to an aero. It is certainly lighter
The comfort will be very similar to the Evo, especially for those who are use to saddle hunting

So when is New Tribe officially taking our money?
Aug 16th, I will post the link when it goes live

Thanks,
Boswell

That looks REALLY good! Well done NewTribe! Not sure I'll be buying one for this season but I will most likely pick one up for next season! My hunting funds are getting pretty low at this point

I'm in the same boat. I think I'll hold off and see what people think. I'm not crazy about those tiny lineman loops. I think I'd end up using the main loops.

I'm in! I use my sit drag loops to connect my limans belt. Puts the span of the sitdrag around my lower back for more support than just a safety belt. I probably won't use the eyelet loops to connect my lineman belt. Just use the big bridge loops like I did on the sitdrag.


Awesome job.

Guess it is time to start selling off unused hunting stuff, cuz I don't want to sell my soul to get one, and if I buy one without getting rid of other stuff, that is exactly what my wife will do.

I figured after watching the video you would be breaking out the thread injector to make some upgrades.

I was thinking the same thing and will adjust based on feel. But I think the loops will work just fine.

I think the only thing missing in my book would be a padding mod like the sitdrag. But its not a deal breaker at all.
