    WTT madrock safeguard PENDING

    I have an extra safeguard. Brand new. I’m not looking to outright sell it. I’m just looking at what trade options might be out there. I’m not looking for saddles, sticks, or ropes. I’d be interested in packs, heavy arrows, and single bevel broadheads. I could be interested in other items as...

    Two panel saddle

    I’m interested in making a two panel saddle. I’ve seen the fusion d-rings recommended. What is the purpose/benefit of the bent d-rings? They appear to be subsequently more expensive. Just wondering if there’s a reason I should order them over the straight ones. Or is there a better option...

    New saddle hunter experiences

    First year for me saddle hunting. My struggle is finding a tree that I can shoot from. Seems most trees that are in “the spot” have too many branches and small trees in the way for me to shoot to where I expect the deer to come. I feel I spend way too much time trying to pick a tree when I’m...

    Tacsew t111-155

    Lucked into a great deal on a Juki so I’m selling my tacsew. It’s been a great machine and I’ve sewn several saddles with it. It sews with up to 138 thread. It’s a walking foot compound feed that will sew multiple layers of webbing or other materials. I recently installed a 1 hp servo motor...

    Pleated saddle build

    I’ve spent hours and hours scouring the diy section of this forum but haven’t noticed any diy saddles with pleats. I’ve done a phantom clone and a kestrel clone recently. I’d be interested in attempting a pleated saddle. Has anybody done this yet that would be willing to offer some tips? Thanks...

    Throw line?

    I’m just curious as to what everyone’s using as a throw line. I’ve been practicing srt in my yard. I just made myself a bag today out of canvas, tubular webbing some lead shot and a d-ring. It works great as I was able to throw it where I wanted in one throw compared to 20 minutes I spent...
