Also what is your favorite platform?
Also what is your favorite platform?
Thanks everyone good info!
Was the mantis really "everyone's favorite"? Or just the best marketed? I feel like a large portion of mantis advocates weren't necessarily comparing against other options. For sure it's a fine enough saddle for some preferences though.Sounds like its everyones favorite right now. Like how the mantis was when it came out
I've had both. The only advantage I saw from the Predator was packability. I'm much happier with the mission.Well what are pros and cons for the Predator platform?
The Mission is 18" wide by 14" deep and weighs 5.4 lbs. The Predator is about 12" by 12" and weighs 3 lbs. (The Predator XL is 15" by 13".) Relative to the Trophyline Mission, the Tethrd Predator Platform is much lighter and more packable, $20 cheaper, and is currently in stock. I haven't used the Mission myself, but from pictures and other folks' reviews, it seems the Mission is more comfortable for guys with size 12+ feet, is easier to shuffle around on, has better contours around the edges (need to wrap/cobra weave the Predator with paracord to make it grippy enough, in my opinion), and has the nifty little step on top of the post. I think the Mission also would be a smaller leap for traditional tree stand hunters making the switch to saddle hunting, but I've honestly had no trouble adjusting to standing on the Predator.Well what are pros and cons for the Predator platform?
