Did a week of shooting with the saddle from various tree heights before I did a 4 hour sit. I figured no better learning experience than out in the field. I felt totally comfortable setting up, but actually *being* comfortable that first 4 hours was a challenge. I've been on three other sits in my saddle and comfort has exponentially increased each time.

When you first start it takes some time to get used to because it is so different than everything you are used to. Give it time and the more time you spend in the saddle the more comfortable you will feel.
