    Help with saddle comfort

    JX3. I also cinch my lineman around my bridge closer to the tree. Opens up tremendously a dump shot at 11 to 10 o’clock Additionally I sometimes sit on a 2” foam pad that raises my hips higher To give me additional clearance because I mostly shoot sitting down. But I am not into equipment...

    My Traditional Bow Clearance Solution

    Maybe there are some On here that hunt with trad bows and find that the solid seat/backrest Type saddles Are too restricted for some shots. Here is my tweak on my JX3. It opens up that 9 -12 shot tremendously . Basically I take my lineman rope and pull the bridge closer to the tree. Give it a...

    Have any of You?

    Good stuff guys. I climb and descend mostly with a LB last 5 or so years but have in the past just hooked up with me tether and made it big and grabbed it like a lineman belt with both hands and popped it up as I climbed. Now I think I am going back to big loop in my tether so that way I have a...

    What piece of gear are you most attached to?

    My Jim Stepp Modified Step I split the step to make a four point. This makes an extremely solid step.

    Any Fat Saddlehunters out there?

    Next setup is one I use for new locations not on my usual feed trees. This extra WIDE rail was made by Ameristep. Very few sets were made. I found I guy on Archerytalk talking about them and jumped on them. I absolutely love them. They are twice as wide as original so I use as abase when I am...

    Any Fat Saddlehunters out there?

    This has been my set up uptop for years. First picture is a knock off cut down model of a climax stand I made. We had no “ platforms“ back then. This is made out of steel an heavy. I leave up year Long on feed trees. Sometimes I haul it in but I rarely hunt 1/4 mile from my vehicle. Beside it...

    Any Fat Saddlehunters out there?

    I bought 3 sets XXL Rails that are twice as wide as the original that Nontypical made which Ameristep bought. These are super duper nice. I use them a lot as my platform. I’ll post a picture this week.

    Any Fat Saddlehunters out there?

    Maybe in 2005 I went to the Guido from the TreeSuit(anyone remember them) because I discovered I could take a little nap in the Guido with the back rest!! Learning curve on how to shoot a recurve wasn’t too bad. I am 6’ 269 down from 281. So I got to lost about 30 more I am starting to feel...

    Any Fat Saddlehunters out there?

    I have been saddle hunting for 25+ years. I bought my first saddle at the Atlanta Buckerama in 92ish. I never bought one to get lighter on the limb and or hike in but for comfort and Mr Green told me I could kill more deer. Then I told him I hunt only with my homemade recurve and he grinned and...

    Why a saddle over a climber for being mobile, but most of all being comfortable

    I'm 56 and I kill more deer out of a saddle. There is definitely something about facing the tree while bowhunting that produces closer shots for me a traditional bowhunter
