    So I had a thing happen this morning...

    I did think of doing that too. Actually it was the opposite problem, the tree was too skinny and my legs and arms wrapped too much around it to get good enough strength and friction to shimmy up. I also was near the end of my tether because when stick first slipped I had to shimmy myself down...

    So I had a thing happen this morning...

    I probably will be doing this from now on. I had a good laugh at myself when my feet hit the ground.

    So I had a thing happen this morning...

    I went out this morning with my bow to try out a new area my brother had seen a quite a few deer when we took our kids on a youth hunt last weekend. After a two mile hike through the mountains I arrived there just after daylight so I could find a suitable tree. With a tree picked out up I went...

    Latitude Method. Any users?

    I was just on the Latitude website and they will be selling the clips that hold the panels together for $10...put them on your Recon and you'll be all set. I was thinking of using some paracord loops on the top strap of the Recon and run my opulx tether through them as a belt similar to the...

    First few "sits" in two saddles

    That's where it is nice that the Recon comes with a stuff sack that the saddle fits in. It rolls up so small and the sack keeps it that way and there's always room for it in my pack. The Recon's panels fit inside each other and the belt has no problem holding it up for walking (at least for...

    Nutterbuster's Treehopper Recon Sling Video

    So I tried @Allegheny Tom suggestion of flipping the webbing on the Recon the other day. It definitely tightens things up, especially the back panel in how it reacts with with the bottom panel. It did not work for me; I can see where it would work for someone where the saddle was larger on...

    Latitude Method or Recon sling

    I am comfortable enough with the Recon that I will not be returning it, so while I would still like to try out and compare the two I will not be buying the Method. The Recon is an awesome, light little saddle that can be easily thrown in your pack if you don't want to wear it in. I am happy...

    Latitude Method or Recon sling

    I have to add that the Evo would eventual ride up and take my pants up with it. I would need to pull it back down and adjust my pants at the same time. The only time I would need to adjust the Recon was because I was changing between sitting, leaning or sitting side saddle and it never once...

    Latitude Method or Recon sling

    So I pulled the trigger on the Recon. Received it in the mail earlier this week just in time for bow opener that is today. Mark was great to work with when it came to sizing, bridge material and general questions...you couldn't ask for better and extremely timely customer service. I've been...

    Meat Eater

    By far the best hunting show out there. He's a great storyteller and articulates his points well. He is selling the hunting/fishing experience and not the products of his sponsors.

    Cruzr XC vs Latitude Method

    I was debating on the Method or Recon. Ended up ordering the Recon the other day because of how the Recon's panels self adjust to each other, where the Method you have to make adjustments to where the bridge attaches. I do love the concept of the Method's belt and how the panels clip together...

    Remington Model 7600

    You won't be disappointed I love mine, it's an older one chambered in 270. Shoots moa with factory loads all day. Being left handed I appreciate it being ambidextrous.

    Latitude Method or Recon sling

    Ok you guys are talking me down from the Method. With the extra cash I might get an OOAL Scout from DanO for my Hawk Helium clones. But damn I was liking what I was seeing from the Method!
