    If there was...

    I'd like to thank everyone for your feedback. It's very valuable. I think what I'm going to do is this... I'll continue the execution of the provisional patent process which could take a little while since I work a couple of jobs. I'll then put up a website that shows how it works, complete...

    If there was...

    Yes I did. A design was given to me that I'm having great success with. It's easy to carry, weighs less than 4 lbs., goes on easily in less than 5 minutes even in the dark, is quiet and comfortable, and gives full 360 degree range of motion around the tree without having to move your feet. It's...

    If there was...

    a commercially available platform device that was lightweight and easy to carry, rock solid on the tree, attached to the tree in less than 5 minutes even in the dark, allowed easy 360 degree shooting range, and was comfortable to perch on, would you buy it? How much would you be willing to pay...

    Got mine today!

    Fellas, you really might want to give this light brown nylon rope that Home Depot sells a try. While it weighs a little more (not much more) than the 1" nylon webbing, it's stiff enough to stay open, and as a result, is easier to get your feet into up or down. I also took a yoga block (basically...

    Got mine today!

    Hey Flinginairos, A big shout out to you for your innovative climbing method. I made a 3 step etrier (Thanks to DIY Sportsman) out of some heavy light brown nylon rope they sell at Home Depot. I cable tied and duct taped the knots, firmed the loops with plastic coated 1/4" wire rope (cable...

    Wacky practice shooting positions/ideas

    Thanks Redsquirrel. That's what I'm trying to simulate in the back of my truck. I rock back on to the back legs of my folding chair, twist as far left as I can, and put my feet up on the toolbox and let her fly. Definitely a challenge, but a heck of a lot of fun. I haven't shot anything out of...

    Wacky practice shooting positions/ideas

    So although I have yet to loose an arrow from my saddle/platform setup, it seems clear that shooting from a saddle could present some unusual body postures and positioning, I figure that deserves some practice, but living in a condo in a big city doesn't exactly lend itself to taking my bow up...

    Trophyline/Trophyline Ambush?

    After experimenting with both the New Tribe Evo and Trophyline Neoprene saddles, it became clear that for me, the Trophyline would be more comfortable and suitable. I figured it would be good to have a backup, so in looking around I came across the saddle for sale on AT that rcordrey uncovered...

    Used New Tribe Evolution for sale

    I'm offering this size 1 New Tribe Evolution for sale. I've spent about 20 hours in it. I also bought a Trophyline saddle and after just a couple of hours in it I can tell that it suits me better. I'm right on the edge of too big for the Evo size 1, which makes me think I'm probably on the edge...
