    MANTIS...... WHATS UP TETHRDNATION

    My platform ordered oct 23rd is shipping today. Just got the notification. Keep your hopes up, they are working it. Now if I can get my saddle shipment notification I can possibly hunt once or twice.

    MANTIS...... WHATS UP TETHRDNATION

    Update! Update! I am excited every time I see an email notification potentially about tracking info for my saddle and platform. And then the minor disappointment that it’s something random. I am also hoping that it will just show up at the door without the tracking showing up. Ugh the wait is a...

    Saddles changes in near future

    I would like to see the back brace improved for next year, I feel like something could be done to get up behind the shoulder blades better. a tweak to the strap, maybe a rigid board that crosses the strap and extends up between or up to both shoulder blades and then below the strap to offset...

    Let me see your most comfortable saddle positions

I didn't...

    Frustrating Day

    Are you a leaner or sitter? I'm wondering if the sitting would cause that. Seems to me the leaning would engage your legs more and keep blood flow moving better. I have read some saddle hunters change up from lean to sit during the hunt frequently. If the sitting is causing the numbness, try...

    MANTIS...... WHATS UP TETHRDNATION

    I imagine with the weight difference on the old predator to the new will create a purist group who would rather have the old style. There's always a market. I imagine the mods are to help keep people from breaking them as easily. The best R&D is in the field with customers.

    MANTIS...... WHATS UP TETHRDNATION

    I am surprised at how much demand is for the saddles from both major companies, I will give Tethrd a break since they are surly working as hard as they can. I just hope I can hunt with my order this year. I probably could have ordered sooner but wasn't sure until I started learning about it...
