    Ordered a Recon, how has everyone improved upon it?

    I don't see how the webbing can slip if it's correctly woven through the plates. I would check that first because I'd venture to say that it's not installed as it should be. The way it weaves through the plates is not intuitive for me and I always leave one side on to copy for that reason. I can...

    Ordered a Recon, how has everyone improved upon it?

    The bungie belt works like a champ when one sticking. I've had several climbs in it now since I did the mod and I have had no issues. And my rubber plates would squeak when putting a lot of pressure on one side for an awkward shot angle. I left the rubber on the bridge loop portion as that...

    Recon belt mod feedback

    Plus flip the panels and eliminate the squeak of the webbing on the rubber coated bridge connectors. Then it's a tough product to beat. But with that said, those are all easy DIY fixes. I just wish I had tried the bungie belt sooner. I may have been able to save some money spent on other...

    Recon belt mod feedback

    It certainly seems that with a few tweaks he could have a home run.

    Recon belt mod feedback

    I lurk here a lot and normally don't chime in too much but I have to say that anyone with a Recon saddle needs to do this bungie mod. I too almost gave this saddle away and just out of curiosity I removed the belt and added the bungie cord with the 550 cord prussic and I was blown away with how...

    Sterling C-IV Canyon Rope - share an order ?

    Just an FYI, I did the same thing. Ordered 12/8 and I still don't have it. They shipped it within 2 days but they use USPS and it's been "in transit" ever since. It may be worth talking to Double Step and see when they expect it in and waiting for them. Then you can order exactly what you need...

    What will you change/improve for next year?

    Switching from Shikar with a one step aider to the knaider/swaider set up sold by Backwoods Mobile Gear and rappelling back down. I going to switch from a daisy chain on my stick to a cam buckle strap so I can keep the stick higher when I'm set up to use in conjunction with my platform and a...

    Best add on so far. $.04

    I don't understand that at all. I'm not sure what rope and cord you're using but you might want to post some details and pictures because that's the first I've heard of anyone having trouble getting a tender to work with a properly tied distel hitch. I'm doing like the OP and just using a piece...

    Mystery Ranch packs

    I have a Pop Up 28 and really like it. It carries all my heavy clothes in the bag and my platform and stick on the meat shelf. I couldn't image another pack that would work as well. I'm a pack addict and am constantly checking out other bags but have yet to find one that will do what the MR bags...

    Anyone want to split an order on Sterling C-IV Canyon Rope?

    R&W rope has it available in both the orange and the green but has a $100 minimum order requirement. I'm looking to purchase 35' which at $1.58/foot is only $55.30. If someone wants is looking to get at least another 35' I'll put the order in and will ship yours to you as soon as I get it. I'm...

    Ordered a Recon, how has everyone improved upon it?

    I'm not sure it's possible for anyone to "own" the saddle market. We all seem to be gear junkies to the 10th degree so anytime something new and shiny hits the market we're all lining up to give them our money. We may need some kind of therapy.

    Ordered a Recon, how has everyone improved upon it?

    I might be ok with the top being a little stiffer due to molle loops. Maybe it will help once I figure out a method to clip both panels together until I'm ready to hunt. I found with them flipped and the belt tight they stay put pretty well. It’s odd but I’m back to the plates in the factory...

    Ordered a Recon, how has everyone improved upon it?

    Flipping the plates made a huge difference in my opinion. The main reason that the inside panel wants to stay the most snug when the belt is tight or when you're hanging at height. As it comes that is the lower panel. By flipping the plates the inside panel is now the upper panel which allows...

    Lighted nock fit troubles

    When my nocks are loose on the bow string I wrap a bit of dental floss around the serving and that takes care of it. I like the waxed stuff but that seems to be getting harder to find but the unwaxed stuff works fine but doesn't hold up quite as well. It generally lasts a few months of shooting...

    Hybrid or Cruzr or Recon

    I hunt public land in PA and rarely go in less than a mile and usually twice that. I've used a TX5 and a Recon and both fit in my pack of choice, a Mystery Ranch Pop Up 28, with no issues. With the expanded load shelf you can get your sticks, platform, and extra clothing in there and have plenty...

    whats the best saddle

    I think the Tethd team seem really nice and they do a lot for the saddle community, vets, etc but I think you'd be hard pressed to talk to guys that have tried a bunch of different saddles and say their products were the best. Cruzr has a strong following, Latitude has had lots of positive...

    Owners of newest TX5's ordering advice for complete saddle novice needed

    I have one of his pleated models and it's taken a bit to find the most comfortable set up. I had the web bridge and removed it for an H2 Triad bridge because I would get a lot of pressure on the back of my legs initially. The bridge loops on my saddle are very long. I've never measured them but...
