    is 1 sticking a fad.

    I thought about it as well. The only reason is that I love rappelling way too much, its just to much fun. Ill be completely honest if you didn't rappel with 1 sticking I wouldn't of given it the time of day. But its fun and combined with hunting its even more fun. Shoot ill go climb for...

    is 1 sticking a fad.

    Oh 100% I know, Im just talking about climbing up with a 1stick and hunting from a tree stand, the same way you would with a saddle. Just curiosity.

    is 1 sticking a fad.

    Just thought of this randomly, is anyone 1 sticking with a tree stand? Like a LWCG or Beast? I know there is a older YouTube video of it, but jus curious if anyone does with a tree stand.

    Losing Confidence in my Saddle set up

    I agree and honestly its not really back weight savings for me, I just saw it and figured why not try it. I would rather carry more weight and be more efficient then cut weight. Ill give this a try the rest of the season then see what happens.

    Losing Confidence in my Saddle set up

    I went out and messed with my bridge length on the ascent and descent, and without the leg straps and honestly it was way more comfortable with a longer bridge length and not having the leg strap on. I would put them on when I was set up. I did that 5 times and it was great. @MSbowhunter48

    Losing Confidence in my Saddle set up

    Nope I saw deer, and was on fresh sign of rubs and scrape line, its more of that I feel as im making a lot of noise, and having to work really hard to stay comfortable in the saddle when climbing up one sticking. I keep my bridge really short, which I believe it makes me sit more upright, and...

    Losing Confidence in my Saddle set up

    I have had a few bad sit/set ups with my current saddle set up, and honestly I believe its because Ive one-sticking. Has this happened to anyone else? After this season I am going back to a few sticks and some aiders. Anyone else come across this? Losing confidence in your mobile set up?

    I used the beta and took me some time to figure it out, but it helped me get my first 2 bow kills this past weekend. I waiting for the correct wind, and the travel pattern. I can see it helping.
