I think you're gonna like this one. Maybe you can add some things to my review, as I'll try to do the next time I get to play around with it. So far, I have very few complaints. The loops are the only real improvement I could suggest so far, and they're not bad- just I think I'd like them to be bigger and stifferMaustypsu said:essdub said:This is my favorite all around saddle now and for sure the best lightweight minimalist saddle I've been in.
Sweet!!! I am happy I didn't wait for that review to buy mine. I have to go hang some sticks in the yard so I can play around with mine this weekend.

But maybe I can ask a dumb question or two to help. I may hunt this weekend (an event this Sat got cancelled)... And then there is that football game on Sunday... Go Broncos! But I imagine I will get some time in it this weekend for at least a first impression.
Broncos! ??? And I thought you were an ok guy.Maustypsu said:Since I have only hunted out of a Guido's Web and tested John's Saddle, I'm not the best resource.

It really is an impressive little saddle isn't it? I like it way more in person than I did in the pics. That's saying something too, considering we shelled out moolah for it based on pics. There's very little I see that needs improving.Maustypsu said:Got it, but it's dark out so no tree time.
I tried it on... perfect fit for my 29.5" waist...
It is exactly what I wanted... Again my limited experience can't tell you that I want what I... uh want.
But its light weight, heavy buckle. Solid. Small and spins up nice for packing. Seems to sit right where I expected when I strap in. I feel safe in it for sure. The loops seem to be in the right spot.
I would say that I'm sensitive to the loops being stiff - the ones on my Web are stiff and I like that but these are larger and seem stiff enough. I think I will actually prefer them based on that balance.
I will say that a Molle set up would be cool but not what I bought this for. It was intended to be minimal. If there is an order for another round that includes a Molle loop option I may get them on that. But I'm glad I got this one just as it is. Really cool.
I will give a better review with pics when I can get outside.
Wow. Didn't realize you could shoot switch. Impressive.essdub said:Here's a severely edited(for time) video of me spurring up a tree,setting up platform shooting a few arrows, and using grigri to come down

Haha .I hear ya.kenn1320 said:Wow legally blind in one eye, impressive that you can shoot either hand so well. I always tell people Im blind in one eye, cant see out of the other, but it doesnt matter cause I close both before I shoot.

Seriously, though, I used that technique (closing both eyes and just feeling how my body performed the shot sequence) to try to help me develop my form (as bad as it is, I'm usually consistent)
