    Mantis Comfort

    Mine rides up too but it not uncomfortable. I pull it down when I think of it. The absolute biggest comfort factor for me was getting the Predator Platform that changed everything. I run my tether at eye level and mostly lean. I was in the saddle last weekend for 4.5 hours and never felt like I...

    Northwest Arkansas, Easter Oklahoma, Southwest Missouri Saddle Hunters

    I'm in. This would be fun. Lots of public land to stay at. I have some good places in White Rock WMA aka deer camp location that could be a good place to have a weekend camp. I'd say some state parks but finding and climbing trees and shooting bows might get frowned at. We could bring some of...

    What kind of sticks do you use?

    Hawk Heliums modified for the Lone Wolf Versa Button with rope "Rope Mod", I did tear them down and put stealth strips on both sides of all 4 sticks, bolted everything back together and haven't looked back. Used them for 2 seasons now and never once wanted anything else. 3 full sized sticks and...

    Help me unstick these sticks

    I have the originals that I put the Versa Button rope mod on and Stealth Strips. With the ropes and the ball bungees that came with it I could thing of an quieter easier setup. I only carry 3 sticks and with what ever platform I use gets me high enough for most of the spots I hunt. In my opinion...

    Is this ropeman set up correctly?

    To each their own, but I'm like the rest I have to adjust a few times going up and when its time to reach around the tree to grab gear hanger or other things I pull myself closer with one hand, easy peasy!

    What’s on under the saddle?

    I don’t but they are on the list of other things I need. Besides the pinch I’m really liking the saddle and this way of hunting from a tree! Thanks for the help guys!

    Best knee pads?

    I just bought some soft AWP's Sunday from Lowes and they worked but they are Velcro and if my legs rubbed together the Velcro would grab and make noise. Comfy to wear in and comfy for a short sit with knees on the tree as I don't sit like that the whole time. They can be put on under the pants...

    What’s on under the saddle?

    Man that's one thing that surprised me, how high my tether needs to be. Also I'll try to remind myself to pull my pants up before I climb. might look into softer belt material.
