    Cam cleat on 5/8” Shikar?

    I noticed none of the regular Shikars come with a cam cleat or the option. Is this a safe installation? Any of you guys running this combo? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

    Beast sticks with Cam cleat

    I’m thinking of swapping from a 20” Hawk to a 20” Beast. Looks like almost 1lb weight savings. I have a cam cleat on my Hawk and really like it for 1-sticking. Scrolling through the forums I don’t see a ton of people using a cam cleat with the Beast sticks? Is there a reason for this or am I...

    Saddle Creep

    What is the main cause of the saddle creeping up my backside as I hunt? Bridge too long? Tether too high? Need some ideas to try. I have to pull it down every hour or so. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

    Transition from Ridge Runner to Scout

    I have been using a Ridge Runner for 2 seasons and I really like the platform. I am a smallish guy (5'8" Size 9 boot) and I am a 1-sticker. I've been wanting to try out the Scout mounted on my Hawk Helium stick to cut some weight/bulk from my pack. Question: I am mostly a leaner so the site...

    Scout for Helium - EWO vs. OOAL

    I was considering buying a scout for my Helium stick. I noticed on EWO that you can choose between the Helium version or 1" tube version as well as straight vs. slanted. On the OOAL website you don't have any choices... Just "ADD TO CART". Do you need to call them to order a specific version?

    Small Carabiner Recommendation

    I'm in need of some small lightweight mini carabiners for my paracord pull down rope. It's a little difficult to determine sizing from online pictures and hard to determine the difference in the Chinese junk. I have been using some of the cheap Chinese keychain type but they aren't very...

    Backpack options for Ridge Runner

    Does anyone on here use the ALPS OutdoorZ Pathfinder pack and the Ridge Runner to know how it packs inside the fanny pack area? I am looking for a smallish backpack that I can convert to a meat hauler for quartered whitetails. I would like it to be able to hold my bow also. In my research I...

    Safety Line Rope for Rappelling

    I'm not much of a rope expert since I'm fairly new to saddle hunting. (haven't even got my saddle order yet) Once I get my saddle, I want to start experimenting with 1-sticking and rappelling down. Question 1: What size and type of rope is the Millennium Safety line made of? Question 2: Is...

    Flex Order Questions - **UPDATED**

    I have been lurking and reading mostly the past few months and I am ready to order my first saddle. I have decided on a AH Flex and had a few questions about ordering. I am thinking of ordering with the starter kit and wondering if this is a good idea or would I be better off trying to make my...
