How comfortable is a jx3 on really long walks? Can you sneak through dense brush and briars with it?
So I gathered. Those were just some questions I’ve wondered about. I figured it didn’t matter where I posted them, you’d jump on answering anything Jx3, regardless of which thread.But this is just a fun thread about padded diapers to wear under soft saddles(built with an entire network of international, specifically Chinese, influence and materials), not uncomfortable China made hybrids…
It must be exhausting verifying country of origin before sitting in a new seat. I imagine public toilets bring a whole new variable requiring special equipment.No thanks, no China seat for me. My Transformer works.
Comfort is nice. But the reason I climb a tree is to give me a better chance of tagging a deer. So if I get picked comfort won't matter.I used a padded saddle some this season and it was very comfortable.
For what it's worth, I also find the JX3 quite comfortable.
I also find it hard to stay awake if I’m extremely comfortable.Comfort is nice. But the reason I climb a tree is to give me a better chance of tagging a deer. So if I get picked comfort won't matter.
Beside the weight, packing, and other issues with the JX3.
The big one no one talks about is huntability. With a conventional tree stand you can stand, back tight to the tree and you are hard to pick. With a saddle and a platform you can do the same. With JX3 you are totally exposed if the deer approaches from the side.
Let’s be clear; all across the country the deer act quite differently.Well shoot, I didn’t realize the lack of huntability with the hybrid!
Since I’ve bought it, five seasons ago, I’ve hunted with it the majority of the time, and almost exclusively the last few seasons. Add on two years of a guidos web on quite of few hunts prior.
I’ve had hundreds of deer in bow range, and killed probably 25 or so. Some out of stand, some out of hybrid, some out of soft saddle, some off of the ground.
Maybe I’m just super lucky, but I can’t recall a single time getting picked off by a deer in the hybrid by sight.
Maybe it’s because I shoot the first legal deer I see on 75% of my hunts.
I’m witness to dozens others being killed out of the hybrid by several different styles and experience levels of hunters. Two were very large very mature bucks. In wide open woods. As were many others.
Have you had deer pick you off at a higher rate in the hybrid than other ways of sitting in a tree?
Let’s be clear; all across the country the deer act quite differently.
Also, isn’t it ok if we all have different preferences?
Sorry, I was responding to the title of this post, I won't admit a hybrid is better for me.
Two large mature bucks in wide open woods?
Yeah, I like my “traditional saddle.”
To each their own.
@kyler1945 - you’re clearly a JX3 evangelist and that’s cool. It’s just not for all us, and isn’t that ok?!
