I feel your pain 100%, I ordered mine on 9/12 to take on a trip 11/4. I called and got a ship date of Oct 1, 10 minutes before I pulled the trigger but now the delays are making me wonder if I will see it before November rolls around. Its dissapointing because this is the second time for this trip we are going on and the first time we went We all swore we would have a better hunting method than those heavy climbers due to the long hikes. My buddies all got super light weight hang ons and stick ladders but I chose to invest in a saddle.
I spent a lot of time researching them and decided it wasnt going to be cheap but neither is much of anything when it comes to archery hunting! Anyway, the point is ive got all my $$$$ tied up in this and cant afford to buy another setup to take......im really hoping I dont have to lug around that heavy climber again. Plus Im going to be the first saddle hunter of our group and they are looking forward to playing with this thing at camp and maybe getting one for themselves at some point.
