Sitting on your platform?

[1simplemann]

Oh sorry I wasn't following you. I was never advocating sitting on the platform, I was saying to sit (in the saddle) with a back band, and that's comfortable enough to forget about the sitting on the platform idea

No worries. Since the title of the thread is "sitting on your platform", I thought that was what you were referring to. Sitting in my saddle, it would be no problem for to shoot to my weak side.

Make your platform from toilet seat and make bio breaks easier. Search out a tree like this and make it a fun game.

Get a back band and give sitting with that a shot. I have sat down on my platform, seems like it would be difficult to stand back up etc, and with a back band and a comfortable saddle (cobra) I can sit/lean all day, alternating every hour or two

This^^^^ I sold my Hawk saddle, but kept the backband……it is Money when you want to sit and take a nap.

Cant imagine sitting on the platform being comfortable at all.

Yeah, I had that idea for shotgun season to use with my feet on the ground as a tree seat. I even cut a foam cushion out to fit. I couldn't imagine sitting more than 5 minutes without moving lol. I ended up buying the fanatic outdoors lowdown and could sleep in that thing!

You mean when using a back band? I typically keep my right hand on the slide buckle and will slowly ease it loose so it drops down to my saddle while I'm reaching for my bow with my left.

But to be honest, haven't been in this scenario yet other than imagining it/practicing moving slow

It's the only peice of Tethrd gear I own, the back band,, and I really like the sliding buckles. Its super easy to slide the backband down and out of the way with my right hand while grabbing me bow with the left.

I use a Drey. No bands needed.
