    For Sale - JX3 Hybrid Hunting Saddle - Sold Please Close

    Last spring I purchased a JX3 saddle, but have decided not to use it. It is in brand new condition and has never been used. It includes all of the parts, ropes, carabiners, etc. Literally, I took it out of the box to look at it and that's it. It's a great rig, but I think I'm going to use a...

    Ideal Single Stick?

    Thanks for the replies, guys. I'm definitely going with the cam cleat. Not sure on the length and step set up yet and there doesn't seem to be consensus. I guess I'm just going to have to try a few things out and see what I like best. I think I'll just start by putting a few different fixed...

    Ideal Single Stick?

    I want to play around with single sticking and I've got some spare stick parts lying around, so I was planning to build a dedicated single stick. Problem is I've never single stick climbed, so I don't know what's ideal. What do you more experienced folks like in your stick? Length, step spacing...

    BEAST mod on API sticks

    I used these from Amazon. 5/16-18. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07HL2ZW99/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o05_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Edit: I didn't read the above post very well. You asked how I set the nutserts not where I got them. Sorry. They are not set. Since they're used in tension it's not...

    BEAST mod on API sticks

    I just finished a beast-style mod to my API sticks, but I took it a step further and offset the steps and brackets to allow them to stack vertically. I used nutserts/rivet nuts so the sticks stack closer together. I got the idea for the nutserts from SRT Saddle Hunter on YouTube (link below). My...

    How do MI tree stand laws apply to saddles?

    We may try a bit of both (crossbow for me). His parents have a bunch of land that we can gun hunt, but I also have access to some land near my house where i would only be comfortable with a bow. I'm also working on access to a couple other pieces that might be good for either.

    How do MI tree stand laws apply to saddles?

    I just put in for my first turkey permit a few weeks ago. I've got a buddy to go with, but neither of us has ever done it. I'm really looking forward to it. I've been practicing with a slate call and have the basics down. If nothing else, it'll be a good chance to hang out in the woods with a...

    How do MI tree stand laws apply to saddles?

    I'm not sure when or why this would ever come up for me, but maybe if for some reason I wanted to gun hunt turkey from a tree it would be an issue. I could also see it apply in other cases where you're not allowed to use a stand (e.g. small game with a rifle, migratory birds, or predators during...

    It's just...a little crush... - Review of the JX3 Hybrid Saddle

    What is the width of the bottom where the sticks go? My JX3 won't be here until later this winter/spring, but I'd like to mod sticks now. I need to know how much space is necessary between the standoffs and steps so it will straddle the back. I'm going to make it pretty tight so my step spacing...
