Hi all,
New to saddle hunting. Went out and shot my first bunch of arrows from the predator platform today. I think it will take a bit of getting used to, but I’m really liking the ability to move slowly without any jerky movements just by pivoting on the bridge. Also like the ability to stay hidden behind the tree while I draw.
One of the things I could use some help with is foot placement when shooting. I’m right handed and I had the target in line with the tree. So when I was behind the tree I couldn’t see it. To shoot with the quiver on my bow I had to lean out to the strong side a good bit in order to clear the tree to shoot. Curious where/ how you would stand? I found bending my left knee and bracing myself against the tree worked best. I don’t have knee pads (yet) and after a couple shots my knee started to get sore. Also thought maybe there was a way to do it with less movement.
Thanks for any advice.
