So I've had my saddle for almost two weeks now, and have been practicing with it daily. I'm feeling very comfy in it (Kestrel Flex Sz 2) and I am shooting tight groups out of it. For my climbing method, I am using a hand climber (I hunt the northeast hardwoods, almost every tree is straight). I notice my prusik on my tether is always cinched very tight after weight is applied as it should be. Loosening the prusik to slide the tether up 20 plus times a climb is becoming a PIA, but doable. Is this where a ropeman would come in handy? My tether is predator rope that comes with the saddle kit. I've messed around with a french prusik, and it is very easy to move that way, but I am not comfortable with that style knot because I can still slide it when pressure is applied.
