I hunt trad but just got my first saddle yesterday. Looking forward to learning to shoot my longbows from it. Gave up climber when I went trad as it limited my shot selection. I like my loc-on’s but think I’m really going to dig the saddle.
What kind of stick you shoot. I’ve got a 66” 7lakes Long Night in Curly Maple with Cherry limbs, 60” Black Hunter and 62” Centaur on order. Be here in July. I’m doing Coco riser with Juniper Heartwood limbs and Sheep horn tips and overlays.
ckossuth, you answered one of the questions I was going to ask ! One of the problems I've found with shooting a recurve or longbow out of a stand is at game that is close,my leg always seems to be in the way. Was hoping the saddle would be better to shoot out of at game that are 15 yds and in.
I primarily shoot a Border Covert Hunter with Hex7.5h limbs but I have a set of Hex8 limbs on order. 19" riser, medium limbs, 50lbs @ 28". It's a heavy hitter. I can throw 10 gpp at over 200 fps or go up to 13 gpp and still keep it in comfortably in the 180s.

The Hex8 limbs actually have a minor letoff...0.5 - 1lb. Amazing feat in limb engineering.I have got to try some ILF Border Hex 7.5's one of these days! I love the super recurves! My Dryads are similar with the perceived "let off", but not quite the same caliber of the Borders. Nice Bear!

My Zipper Nitro......Oh, and a 160" 10 ! View attachment 4194
Thank you Sir!That's a stomper Bro!! Well done!
16-18 weeks. Most likely 18 weeks at this time as they shut down the plant for 2 weeks in July.What's the wait time on the new Hex 8's? I bet it's a while.
