    Yes, it will definitely be backed with a harness.

    I will most likely have some pre set trees for him to climb.

    Youth saddle hunter

    I have been kicking the idea around if making my 10 year old son a saddle for Christmas. He currently hunts out of a hang on while I hang in my saddle behind him. I would feel a lot better if he was in a saddle. Plus, he really wants to hunt out of one. I was considering making a fleece saddle...

    Hawk Helium Stick - original strap buckle problem.

    I have been using hawk helium sticks for the majority of this season. When I went to climb a tree today, the plastic buckle on my helium stick snapped while I was climbing. I feel like this was a freak occurrence. This was the original strap and buckle that comes on the stick. Anyone experience...

    Staying comfortable

    I like the mantis a lot over other saddles I have hunted out of in the past. Right now, it’s just a matter of finding that sweet spot for me. I think the micro fit adjusters will help my situation immensely. Hoping these will distribute weight throughout the saddle a little better. I have two...

    Staying comfortable

    Anyone make any leeway in staying comfortable in the Mantis? I am currently in it as I am typing this. Been in the tree for about 3.5 hours and my lower back is screaming. It seems the issue I am having is that the mantis wants to slide up when I am leaning. This results in strain on my lower...

    Staying comfortable

    I do not currently have the micro fit adjusters. I will take a look. Thanks for the heads up.

    Staying comfortable

    Hey guys, I am fairly new in the saddle hunting world. I had my first real hunt in my new Mantis today. Let me just start by saying that the Mantis amazing. I was previously using the trophyline saddle which is much larger than the mantis. My question is how are you staying comfortable in the...

    Cranford screw in steps

    Thanks for the tip. I think part of my struggle is my lineman’s belt. I’ve been using a lineman’s belt from the old trophyline saddle and it’s a webbing material rather than a rope. It’s not the easiest to climb with but is easily adjustable with one hand rather than one with a Prusik knot. I...

    Cranford screw in steps

    I’m fairly new to using them. I’ve only used them on 3 trees or so (in a run n gun situation). I’ll keep at it. I will be on a 4 day hunt starting this Thursday, so I should be able to get plenty of practice in! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Cranford screw in steps

    Anyone use Cranford screw in steps for a run n gun situation? I have been using these mainly for packability. This method seems to be quite the workout. Yesterday was he MO archery opener. I was drenched in sweat yesterday after climbing. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Buckinghams

    How do you like climbing with these? I have an old pair of sport climbers but never really used them in a hunting situation. They were not the easiest to climb DOWN the tree with. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    I’m going to pick some up on amazon now. Thanks for the input. Looks like these will be perfect. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Looking for some insight

    These look a lot better than what I have been experimenting with. I am wondering if they will easily attach to the mollie section on the ambush saddle. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Looking for some insight

    I have owned a Trophyline Ambush saddle for about 10 years. Upon purchasing it, i only hunted out of it for one season. I could never quite figure out how to get comfortable in it up until last season. I have come to realize that my mobility and all around hunting effectiveness requires a...
