Just curious..who among us owns the most saddles?

Yeah, I reload, too. I kind of have that dialed in, though. Currently only reloading for two centerfire calibers.
I'm currently reloding for five centerfire rifle and four HG calibers.
And I THANK GOD every day now I am and have been for 30+ years now.
Only factory ammo I buy now since Indiana legalized certain HP rifles for deer is 12ga Winchester Supreme Long Beard XR Turkey loads.

Man, I wish I would have been doing that as well. I have about 1000 rounds of 9mm and maybe 500 of 22LR. I feel naked in these times.

Obviously my good sir you are NOT a serious outdoorsman and how do I know this without having ever met let lone know you?
Deductive reasoning my good sir, simple deductive reasoning. I can tell by your statement you are the type of casual hunter who knows EXACTLY how many guns, bows and the number of any other weapon he uses to hunt or owns and until the day dawns you own so many guns, bows and other types of hunting equipment you can not dare to even hazard to attempt to accurately state exactly just how many you own without first consulting a computer print out, you sir shall unfortunately remain among the ranks of causal amateur.

But do not DISPARE there is hope for you yet!!!!
You sir are incorrect. It’s spelled DESPAIR. Lol
 
DaveT can probably give guys a run for their money. I think he has 4 phantoms, 4 mantis’, a couple each of all the aero hunters, a handful of all the old brands, and a BUNCH of diy ones.

I happened to ask him if he had a camera arm he wasn’t using this season, and he sent me a pick of several and said “which you want to borrow?”

The dude has a gear ADDICTION.

Alright. I've lost track now. Who's in the lead now?

Who cares. Anyone that buys 17 or more saddles is crazy. At least he sold all but two .
Really I think I am done buying saddles. I am satisfied unless I buy a Cruzr XC again or a different version of a Tx5
I used my JX3 the most again. Two years in a row.

Guidos web (2) - still have (1) - haven't used in at least two seasons
I once had the Tethrd Mantis in all 3 sizes - sold them all
AH Kestrel Flex (2) - still have (1)
Tethrd Phantom - Sold
TX-5 Mesh Xpand (2) - still have newer (1)
Latitude Method - Sold
Treehopper Recon Sling - Sold
AH Merlin - still have
Trophyline Covert - will be looking to sell
Treehopper Ultimate Saddle - should be arriving soon

It appears I'm more into saddles than I am hunting.

Edit... thanks for not asking about platforms or climbing methods.

I started saddle hunting 15 yrs ago. I still have my original TL Ambush that I started with. After 8yrs in, I purchased another one as a spare for a hefty price. That was after TL went out of business and before anything new came out. In 2017 I bought another mesh saddle, AH Kite 2. I bought it for the built in waist belt to be used with the LWHC and to kind of preserve my Trophylines. So technically I have 3 and doubt I will buy another one anytime soon.

Not to hijack but I have a kite and lwhc too. Why is the built in waist belt a benefit when using lwhc? I ask because i am looking at swapping the buckle so it will open

[/QUOTE When you raise the platform up with your feet and then stand up, you have slack in the tether.At that point when I would go to raise my tether, my TL saddle would fall down to my knees. The TL ambush's waist belt doubles as the bridge. So when using it as the bridge, you have no waist belt to hold it up when there is slack for those few seconds....hope that made sense.
I replaced my kite buckle right away.
