What exactly is going on with this company? Saddle companies can't provide product and now another manufacturer added to the list. Hard for me to believe that sales for steps are such that they can't keep up with production. Pretty poor planning to not have sufficient inventory prior to hunting season. Great product just said they are not available.

Total speculation, but Andrew has been on a couple podcasts lately & I’m sure that doesn’t hurt their sales . Also now listed on aero Hunter website. Probably just got overwhelmed a lot of guys are just getting geared up this time of year. Btw your a saddle hunter don’t you have 15 other climbing methods.......

I have numerous ways of climbing methods I don't wait until last minute. I was not implying that I was desperate for a system just stating the facts.

not just you, just saying its hunting season already. People have been buying them all year. This would be the proper time to sell out or they may be busy hunting and can't take new sales for a few weeks

I think communication goes along way to keep your patrons in the loop. Hope everyone has a great season.

Great company never had any problem. Call Andrew and I'm sure he'll explain what's going on. Both companies I'm sure are trying very hard to get their products out. Be patient. Good things will come.

Where the skys are so blue!
I understand where you're coming from, but having worked in a sporting goods store, the big guys run out of product during the opener too. Kind of like lunch rush at (insert local dive here). You know it's coming, you do your best to plan for it, and you run a bit behind anyway. You swear you won't let it happen to you again, adjust plans for next time, and then still fall behind. Product demand is a moving target. For small businesses, sometimes having too little product is better from a dollars and cents perspective than having too much. Surplus inventory incurs additional expenses.

I sent a contact us message to them last week asking when they may be back in stock but haven't gotten a reply.

I always assume the hunting gear I need will be out of stock in the weeks leading up to season...
Heck Hawk is a MUCH BIGGER COMPANY, and they ROUTINELY run out of helium sticks for months at a time.

Since Saddle Hunting has went MAINSTREAM, expect delays on all our toys. Remember when we just couldn’t find ameristeps. Lol
Everyone wanted to go mainstream. Enjoy sleeping in your bed.
That’s basically what I was getting at, between all the latest podcast exposure, & having Mark Kenyon, soon to be THP trying out saddles . We’re such a small niche crowd & the companies that cater to us are in the same boat. Only time will tell how they’re able to scale .....

the hunting public also putting the spot light on saddles. Exciting times for the little guys (soon to be much bigger) in this industry.

During ATA the fellas from THP stay with me and I showed them my TL saddle last year. You shoulda seen Zach! Lol. I’m SO happy to see such excitement around about our style of hunting.
