    NYSH F4 and FCX (safeguard/grigri killer?)

    I'd like to revisit this post a bit if I can. I've read the comments and can agree to some extent with everyone's thinking. I'm currently using a Madrock SG for my one sticking duties and its fine by all accounts. However, I'm looking very hard at the F4 for a couple of reasons. 1. By...

    EWO Kneepads

    Thats awesome to hear. I'm done for the year as I got sidelined with a jacked up ankle. I'll be sure to add a pair of these to my kit for next fall.

    EWO Kneepads

    I've been looking for a purpose made kneepad that isn't 75 plus dollars. Right now i'm rocking a cheapo from Rural King that does the job, but they don't stay in place as well as I'd like. I will definitely pick up a pair of these from EWO.

    Saddle Advice

    I have no experience with a tethrd saddle myself. I hear if you're going to go with one of theirs, definitely get the XL version as its far more comfortable. That said, I bought a Cruzr XC saddle and I can't imagine a saddle being anymore comfortable. I'm very happy with my decision. I have...

    First deer out of my saddle....

    Thanks everyone. I'm beyond grateful for arrowing this deer. To be honest, its been a helluva trying year for myself and family. To say I needed something good to happen this fall is an understatement. Its also really nice to have a good buck on the ground before the PA orange army and...

    First deer out of my saddle....

    Thanks man! You got that right. I pride myself in that its been a really long time since I made a bad shot, my fault or not. I've replayed this in my head a bunch of times and I can say I wouldn't have done anything differently. It was just a bad shot and I'm pretty positive he moved while I...

    First deer out of my saddle....

    Finally, after my first season in a saddle and a couple of adjustments on tree selection, it came together. I ran into this buck Saturday morning but he was out of range and had a girlfriend with him. He was a very vocal deer and seemed on the ornery side so I got aggressive trying to get him...

    My one sticking and saddle hunting update after almost a full season.

    Thanks buddy. I'm pretty fanatical and hardcore about my setups, even when I was in a climber or hang on. I always looked for ways to make things easier or more efficient. My whole view on any kind of setup is simple, safe and easy so I look at every aspect of my gear. I've learned a lot...

    My one sticking and saddle hunting update after almost a full season.

    I forgot to mention. If I stick with this setup next year, I will be ordering the ultimate lower step to replace the standard step on the One stick. I have a 13 boot and would welcome the extra room of the step, but most importantly, I want to push that aider further away from the tree to see...

    My one sticking and saddle hunting update after almost a full season.

    This might be redundant, or maybe no one cares.. haha. I thought I would give an update on a newbs perspective on one sticking out of a saddle, what I learned, and where I think i'm headed. I'm writing this in hopes that it spurs good suggestions/convo, and hopefully it helps someone else with...

    Single vs 2 Panel Saddle

    I have no experience with a two panel, but I do currently use a Cruzr XC. I could be really wrong, but I think single panels are much more sensitive to fit and setup in the tree. I struggled even with the XC for a bit until I learned that one, my saddle was a size too big for me and two, I...

    The Dangers of Short Static Falls

    This has been a good discussion and I wanted to chime in concerning one sticking as that is my preferred method. I also want thoughts from you all that may be more knowledgeable on all of this. I for one climb with both my tether and linemans rope. I climb a step or maybe two, depending on...

    Saddle pain issue

    Hey all. I decided to contact Cruzr and I explained, in detail what I'm experiencing. The gentleman I spoke with said it is almost a guarantee the size 3 saddle is too big for me. The amazing part is they are going to help me out and get me the right size. I'll report back what I find once...

    Saddle pain issue

    I know much of this has been covered in various topics here but I can't find anything that matches my issue. I have a Cruzr XC saddle, which I think everyone bills as a very comfortable saddle. Overall, I echo that and love hunting out of it. It wasn't until season started and I was putting...

    First hunt out of the saddle

    I'm not usually one to get all giddy or wound up quickly over something but this I wanted to share. I had some time yesterday afternoon to finally get my first sit of the year in out of the saddle. I have a heavily bedded area across the road from the house that I snuck into around 3PM. My...
