    Lightweight Barren ridge platform

    Never had an opportunity at a shot, and I had a rifle rather than a bow. But yes, I felt comfortable standing on any part of the platform with both feet. Size 8 boots. I did not attempt to kick off from the side of the platform if that's what you're asking. It bit and set very solidly.

    Lightweight Barren ridge platform

I called them and they fixed it instantly - a new one was shipped right away and arrived in a couple...

    Lightweight Barren ridge platform

    Brand new saddle hunting experimenter here. Just starting to look into all of this. This method looks like it would work well for me, but couple questions - one, can you still use a lineman's belt for additional safety here? Two, what happens if something fails and you fall and your foot remains...
