We've been working hard the past few weeks to come up with some big changes to our vendor policies to meet the changing needs of our community. Please see the new vendor rules here: Vendor Access Area Rules
Trophyline Tree Saddle
- Thread starter Jason Wandling
- Start date
With the way things have gone with release dates, and not making them or making promises that are not kept, TL will not provide a date and then miss it. But once the doors open, they will be taking orders and supply will be plenty and ready to ship. The backlash from us customers when companies have fallen short on dates, promises, expectations has been ruthless so I do not blame the approach TL is taking.
As a salesman, the fastest way to lose a customer is sell something you don't have and can't deliver on. The best approach is to build anticipation and knock it out of the park once the product is available.
I hear what you are saying, but we still buy everything they make AND then some based on availability of product from all the saddle makers. I’m just not convinced anyone is listening in this market space.
With that being the said good on them for not feeding their potential consumers false promises and lottery tickets.

Try H2 saddles. I bought one and its built like a tank. It was a little small and there was no hassle whatsoever in exchanging it for a Lg. So far so good. It's built like Tethrd clone. Took 10-12 days to get it after I ordered. Highly recommend

I’m hunting from the ground for now. I’ll never pack a stand after last year. All steel summit viper and my extra clothes a minimum of 1.5 mile walk one way, sometimes as much as 3 miles one way. I did that for 20 days straight. I ended up leaving the stand in my truck and killed a buck from the ground 1/4 mile in.
John at Jx3 does things right by not taking your money until he has your stand ready to ship. Trophyline isn't taking preorders or doing "raffles." They're claiming that once their store opens, they'll have product ready to ship. Both aerohunter saddles I have ordered shipped within a week or so of when they said they would on their website. Sure, it took forever, but they were up front about that.
I don't think the saddle industry as a whole has a problem when it comes to logistics.
I agree with this, It just seems to me that with people like The hunting public, Steven Rinella (MeatEater), Mark Kenyon(WiredToHunt), and many others have been representing some saddles in their content. I bet this caused some higher demand than past years. I'm also thinking we'll be seeing some more saddles hit the classifieds after this season.
