    XOP Renegade saddle

    Sat in the XOP Renegade saddle for my first hunt last sunday for 4 hours. I used the hawk helium 30" stick with the HSP platform to one stick up to 15 ft. I chose a tree with a slight lean (rookie mistake) so I was fighting gravity for the whole time as I climbed up on the side and was being...

    XOP Renegade saddle

    Hello from East Ohio

    I am looking at the gear from Tethrd but as far as methods I am not sure where to even start. Trying to keep cost and sticker shock (mainly for the other half) low. I like the idea of starting low and slow too. Thank you for the help.

    Hello from East Ohio

    Hello all. I am a new member from East Central Ohio. I am looking to get into bow hunting and like the idea of saddle hunting but I have never tried climbing a tree or repelling down it. Are there any resources someone can point me to so I can learn/practice? I have watched a few of the...
