    New and improved jx3

    Has anyone done the Gen2 improvements to there Gen1? Thread location? I ordered the JX3 right before they announced the Gen2 and some of the improvements seem nice. Don't wanna drop another $400 on the gen2 when my gen1 hasn't hardly been used.

    Live from the saddle 2020

    1.) Tree size, the one im in now is about 25-30in in diameter. only gives me about 270 deg of rotation. It also makes the spacing on a ROS awkward. Its hard to push off from the tree to release the whale tale. 2.) Securing the ROS. I used a common strap with push release and i cant get it tight...

    JX-3 Info for New Users

    @dlist777 Thanks for the awesome idea! Got my JX3 this summer and have tried multiple different bags/fanny pack combos but none of them seemed to function as easily as I hoped. Convinced the wife to let me use her sewing machine yesterday and made these bad boys. The larger one will hold my...

    Anyone switch back to using a whisker biscuit?

    It was originally. Then I noticed it was shifting down as i shot. Took it back in and they adjusted it back but didnt re tune it. Sent from my SM-A515U using Tapatalk

    Anyone switch back to using a whisker biscuit?

    Do you mean QAP? Thats the drop away I am currently using. One of the shooters at my local range said some of my arrows have a big fishtail to them. I wonder if thats my problem. Sent from my SM-A515U using Tapatalk

    Anyone switch back to using a whisker biscuit?

    At the end of last season, I decided to make the switch to a drop away rest. I'd been shooting a whisker biscuit since picking up archery and thought the benefits of a drop away were worth the investment. Since making the switch to the rest my accuracy has gone out the window. Where I was...

    Hunting near Shooting Range??

    The area is downrange from the shooters. While I was scouting you could definetly hear the bbs raining down in the woods. The huntable area is probably 500yards plus from the nearest clay stand. Sent from my SM-A515U using Tapatalk

    Hunting near Shooting Range??

    Over the past few weeks i've been looking for a new public hunting spot closer to home. One of the areas I scouted is full of deer sign and has several different stand opportunities. The only drawback is that the public land butts up against a trap shooting range. Has anyone had experience...

    SE Wisconsin Public Hunting areas

    Attention Wisc. Hunters: I'm new to the Wisconsin area and was wondering if anyone has suggestions about public land access around Milwaukee. Im trying to locate a few spots closer to home, so that I can do an evening/morning hunt a couple times during the work week. The private land I hunt is...

    JX3 Tree setup

    Looks like I need to experiment more with the tether height. Any recommendations on ROS systems?

    JX3 Tree setup

    All, Thanks for the advice. I definitely think not having a ROS is where im seeing some of my issue. I had just been using the top of my last stick to maneuver and getting more than 30 degrees of rotation was a challenge. I think ill also need to adjust my tether height around. Im a bit on the...

    JX3 Tree setup

    I just got my JX3 a couple of weeks ago and I have been practicing climbing and shooting at height. The one thing I havent been able to figure out is how to set myself up at the beginning of the hunt. As a new saddle hunter I hadn't given it much thought until I was out practicing. For...

    Saddle Comfort regarding legs and hips after Surgery

    From what Ive seen the JX3 looks like the best option for me, just need to save up a couple pennies. Fell down the rabbit hole on some sitdrag modifications by other members and decided to give that a try as well. For the price of the sitdrag I can at least test out the feel and end up with a...

    Saddle Comfort regarding legs and hips after Surgery

    So I decided to do a quick test run with a sit drag to see if a more "traditional" type saddle will cause any problems. Figure if I can sit in it about 2'-3' up a tree for an hour or so without major discomfort it will be a good start. I did read the 40+ pages on the JX3 tho and it took all I...
