My ambush pro arrives tomorrow (this will be my first saddle). I am hopeful that i will like it and that it works out for me. For now i will be using it with a ring of steps with plans to purchase a platform at a later time. I like the idea of having such a light weight hunting setup seeing as to how I hunt mostly public land and carry my gear in and out with me each and every time. Hopefully positive updates to follow.

Back outside to hang a bit more.

Attached the carabiner to a single strap on the bridge and started adjusting bridge length in an effort to find the comfort zone. Learning quickly how changes to the bridge length, and position of waist belt and tether affect comfort.

i have alot to learn about saddles, and glad this Trophyline was available so I could start the process.
I spoke to a tropyline rep. Both straps are to be used on the bridge not one.

Yes, I agree and could have been more clear on the previous post.
I was referencing experimenting with the lengths and adjustments to see how they affected fit and comfort.
But for hanging off ground, I use both bridge straps.

I also heard that both straps were to be used as the bridge.
Not sure what the buckle is for but I experimented with it, trying different lengths of bridge.
Now for this season, I slide the buckle to tighten one of the straps as an extra waist belt, tuck the long end away and walk to my hunt area. Once there, I slide the buckle back and use both bridge straps to attach to the tree.

Then what is the buckle on the bridge for?
I literally just got my Trophyline AP today and have been playing with it all day to the point my wife and kids think i'm strange. Walking around the house wearing it all day then going out hanging in the tree in the backyard. What I've noticed so far that could be useful with the bridge buckle is to pull the bridge through the buckle and tuck it away on your left side for your walk in if that makes sense. I might be completely wrong though.

That’s exactly why that buckle is on the bridge. The originals never had the waist belt, they had the bridge/waist belt and suspenders. But when you lose the suspenders, a waist belt becomes necessary. I added an elastic keeper on the bridge so I can fold it up after I cinch it tight.

Is anyone having issues with the adjustable bridge sliding?
