    Pursuit platforms

    People without a valid argument to support their views often mistake a dissenting argument for an interrogation.

    Pursuit platforms

    How is suggesting they try it before they decide to buy it goading people into buying it? Look at the many positive reviews! You highlight the one negative review I'm aware of, which could be an anomaly. I have spent quite a bit of time on the platform and never had an issue at all. I've...

    Pursuit platforms

    I base all this on the actual use and testing of the platform in the field. What are you basing your assessment on?

    Pursuit platforms

    I appreciate that, thank you! That is certainly your prerogative, but I think you are missing out. After trying both platforms extensively, that is not even the slightest concern for me!

    Pursuit platforms

    Nope, I don't like striped caps!:) I'm just curious why it's wrong or foolish to suggest that you may have a different opinion if you try something. I'm a big proponent that trying, and testing equipment is the only way to determine what is right for you. That is why I try to attend saddle...

    Pursuit platforms

    Try and find someone close to you to try one. If, after trying it, you don't like it or think the price is too high, you vote with your wallet. Just curious, what are you currently using as a platform?

    Pursuit platforms

    If you tried one, I don't think you'd be scared because the platforms are extremely strong and durable, especially if it's attached to the tree properly.

    Pursuit platforms

    I am 6ft and weigh around 235/240, with all my hunting gear on, I'm probably closer to 250 in the winter. I have been testing this platform since February, and it has far exceeded my expectations. I have hunted out of it with an EWO squirrel step on each side, and I love it! There have been...

    New Gear Release 2022!

    Hey Guys, A while back, my friend Casey Jones sent me a link to the initial post of the Pursuit Platform, and I was intrigued by the concept and the design of an injection-molded fiberglass reinforced nylon platform. I liked their idea, so I contacted them and told Pursuit I felt their product...

    Who's not using a pack and just pouching everything?

    2Sloe, my buddy's son, is a Navy Seal, and they will drink a boatload of water before going on a hike, run, or hunt to stay hydrated. If I remember correctly, he called it loading or something like that. As to the extra stuff, I agree. I'm going back to the truck to ditch my gear and grab my...

    Ewo or carbon ninjas?

    Gator, nothing wrong with being up 20 feet. As long as you have cover and stay still, that should work fine. Some guys really stretch things out and can get to higher heights with less gear. I try to climb more conservatively, especially in the colder weather when heavy, bulky clothing makes...

    Screw-ins or Bolts for preset ROS?

    I have used the large Grizzly steps in the past, and they worked great. I have never used the bolts as a ROS but have used them sparingly to climb in areas where they are legal. If I were pressed, I'd give the edge to the Grizzly steps. I hope this helps.
