The workmanship of the New Tribe Saddles are hands down the best you will find. There is no doubt that they beat the quality of Tree saddle. I started with the tree saddle and I knew saddle hunting was a type of hunting that was over looked. I wanted to try and open peoples eyes to what they were missing. When Trophyline went out of bussiness with out saying anything to anyone, it was a bad deal. When Joe started talking about the Aero, I got FLOODED with PM's about my thoughts. New Tribe was kind enough to send me one to review and use. With the amout of work that New Tribe and Casey specifically has put and decidated to us hunters to fill a niche. To me this shows the true colors of BOTH companies, one that stops all communications with its consumers and one that steps up a dedicates time, effort and material to help hunters.
Tree Saddle has been around for a long time so they had alot of the "bugs" worked out of their product, but they have been along so long they think have have a perfect product. While New Tibe is new to the hunting industry they have been buiding saddles for 30 years, so they are bringing those years of experence into this. The hardest part for New Tribe has been hunting from a saddle is different than tree climbing. We use the saddle differently than they do. This is why they have inlisted the help of us hunters. We are bringing the hunting part of this. That is the best part of having New Tribe work with us. They are a small company with a lot of experence. With this they used hunters like Joe and my self to work with. Joe and my self are very down to earth and listen to what you guys have to say. This is what makes them stand out. The listen to their consumers and adapts.
As for how much to sell your saddle for, thats up to you. They are worth a lot to some, I have a few of them just sitting around.
Thanks,
