Well just got my taticsaddle in the mail today. Took about two weeks from the time I placed an order until it came in the mail. I’ll be the first to say that I am new to saddle hunting and will be doing it exclusively for the first time this year. I’ve been waiting for this market to blow up like it has since the end of Trophyline because now people have options and can get into this style of hunting. I dove head in with a mantis saddle and all the fixn’s except for the predator platform. I love Tethrd/G2 Outdoors and what they have done if it wasn’t for them I would never of bought a saddle because I didn’t know of this site or any other saddle companies. I hunted out of the mantis during turkey season but just couldn’t get it to stop from riding up my backside. The leg straps dug in my crotch so much and hindered me from climbing I ended up cutting them off and adjusting the micro fit adjusters all the way up and kept my tether low to prevent this. I didn’t want to give it up because of how light it was. I eventually went to Dan O’s site and bought his D hooks to make a Wraptor sling in hopes to have a back up and something maybe a little more comfortable. It’s nice but I’m no seamstress and didn’t trust my abilities at 20’ up. But when I configured the straps so that they only supported my back and under my butt did I feel a better level of comfort and it didn’t slide up anymore. So I figured I was good to go into this hunting season until I saw the video that got severely bashed on this site about the tactisaddle. Frankly I was disappointed to see this reaction especially from people who claimed to of never watched the whole video or even tried it out. So let me clear the air but first say I do not know John Tucker only spoke to him once on the phone and I am not doing this on anyone’s behalf except those thinking of getting one. This will defiantly be the saddle I will be hunting out of from now on and will buy another in the future for a back up. As he states in his video there is NO binding NO discomfort and most importantly it stays in its place and doesn’t ride up an inch. I don’t know what else to say other than in my opinion he has done it for me and light weight saddle hunting. I can wear the legs straps and walk freely to and up my tree and then adjust the bottom strap under my butt and sit comfortably with only a 14” bridge. It is WELL made with heavy duty stitching and webbing. I feel very confident wearing this because of how professionally made it looks. I want to end by saying let’s not rush into judging something until it has been tried by you personally and keep an open mind in this quickly growing style of hunting. Again this is just my opinion and am I in no way saying that one company it better than another. I think it is great for us to finally have different companies with different products.
