    Ordered a Recon, how has everyone improved upon it?

    Unfortunately, after a couple of days trying this thing out, I think I may be heading down this same path. This is my first saddle so maybe there's a learning curve, but there's just too much fiddle factor. I don't know whether to try a single panel or stick with my lock on set-up.

    Ordered a Recon, how has everyone improved upon it?

    I just got my recon sling today that I ordered on thanksgiving. Im not sure when this update happened, but the belt buckle seems to have been updated. The last pics i saw showed it with the speed buckle, but mine came with this-

    Linemans belt keeps you from falling?

    That's why linemen don't use those straps anymore. We use a bucksqueeze or similar fall restriction device. The linemens belt type "can" actually prevent you from falling if you can keep from panicking when you fall, and push your upper body away from the tree. This will put tension on the...

    Treehopper Tree step Mod

    Yeah, I emailed him yesterday. Mark has been great about answering questions and responding quickly. They just got the plates in for the Recon I ordered and will be shipping soon. I only mentioned that I don't have them yet so OP knew i didn't have my hands on them yet so i don't really have...

    Treehopper Tree step Mod

    The strap and buckle have to be ordered separately. I ordered a set on thanksgiving, haven't received them yet. I didn't see them on the website, but Mark mentioned them while we were ironing out the details of my order.

    Elite Hunter shooting bare shaft bullet holes with center shot at over an inch!?!?

    I have an E32 with the same problem. I'm shooting a pro V rest and it is maxed to the left. I did get bare shafts shooting very close to veined shafts (POI is the same but nock is always about an inch left of the veined shafts), and it shoots broadheads well out to 50, but it's still driving me...

    Poor-man’s stick platform

    I was wondering the same thing. Another bolt with some washers through one of the slots in the steps should keep them locked down.

    API Huntin' sticks "creaking"

    On a side note, i removed the stock buckle and used the strap like you would a rope mod and it seems to cinch down better than the rope does with these buttons. Will experiment at ground level with it but it seems promising.

    API Huntin' sticks "creaking"

    I like the water bottle cap idea. The stock ones seemed pretty hard and brittle to me.

    API Huntin' sticks "creaking"

    I ended up hitting it with a flat file. I took very little material off. Mostly cleaned off whatever coating they use on it and squared up the rounded pieces. It completely solved the issue so far and the stand off bites into the tree well enough that it stays attached after the strap is...

    API Huntin' sticks "creaking"

    I used camo vet wrap on mine and it worked out quite well for silencing the sticks! You can hit the stick with the buckle and it makes a barely audible dull thud sound instead of the loud ting.

    API Huntin' sticks "creaking"

    Ive been outside since i posted tinkering around. I tried to rotate the stick and tighten the strap more then force the stick back on the tree. This helped a little. I also tried the straps from my xop stand and they worked quite well. Very little squeak. I think the stock straps actually...

    API Huntin' sticks "creaking"

    Hello folks, I tried the search function, API is too short for the search engine, so i tried google searching the site and still didn't come up with anything. Here's my problem: i bought some API sticks to shorten, and make 2 step sticks. So far i love them other than they make an awful...
