    Turnabout is fair play.

    So that's how it's gonna be... censorship and stacking the deck. Good thing this isn't the only game in town. Or the town would be North Korea.

    It's insulation that attaches to the backside of the saddle, not a whole body suit.

    a secret

    Good question. That's the potential downfall of buying a saddle that has not been field tested through at least one hunting season: you end up being the field tester.

    360 shooting video

    Interesting. What would you say the number one benefit of saddle hunting is? I'd say mobility, and that includes travel around the tree, not just moving from tree to tree. it's a good question that might deserve its own thread. With a platform, I would think it is harder to tweak the setup on...

    360 shooting video

    In that first pic, if the deer moves back to the left as you come to full draw, aren't you locked up between the tree and the bridge? Hard for me to see what's going in in the second pic b/c all the camo and light colored bridge. Looks like you're leaning against a branch on that one, but it...

    360 shooting video

    Yea, if you're going low treestrap and decent circumference on tree, then a ring of steps won't add value--there is not enough rope to get around the tree. The other thing to consider is that when going in cold to a spot, often times the deer don't cooperate on anticipated direction of travel...

    360 shooting video

    I've seen some platform 360 shooting claims and I've seen some videos that make the motions but don't fire an arrow. I sure would like to see some actual 360 shooting from a platform. There are at least four ways to shoot to the right from a ring of steps, and with a ring of steps, I can easily...

    Turkey...

    In the tub to find the bubble. Then use aquaseal--it's a rubbery glue for waders that will flex a little after drying. Fixed a small barbed wire tear in my gortex waders four years ago and they are still going strong.

    Bridge length for Kestrel

    Above your head to solve the problem you're having. I don't use a platform, but if you're standing on the platform without the saddle supporting and your blake's hitch is at the tree, then there's only one way to go and that is up. The other option is to reduce the length of your bridge.

    Your product is competition for us, and that’s a great thing. Competition drives innovation, and gives the community more choices. And it tells us we’re on the right track with the new designs we have underway. --Sophia Sparks, Owner New Tribe/Aero Hunter I love foreshadowing...new designs...

    a secret

    Ok. Sounds like a plan. But I don't understand the logic here: wouldn't a better saddle sell more anyway? You linked me to this post so I guess you wanted me to see it. I got a little red saddlehunter flaggy when I signed in that linked me to this post. Be cool Ont and keep swanging.

    No Commercials or sponsorships, Why?

    You never answered my question. I think New tribes has been great. A great company. You... all I asked you was a question. What had more effect on Kestrel sales... saddlehunter.com or sparrowhawk... What do you think. I think you can claim to have a hand in developing a good product. But you...

    No Commercials or sponsorships, Why?

    I never claimed that you invented saddlehunting, nor did I claim that you feel like New tribe owes you something. That said, Ontariofarmer's post is deeply offensive to anyone who has been working with New Tribe from the beginning, or with saddlehunting long before the genesis of this site. He...

    No Commercials or sponsorships, Why?

    'I guess New Tribes owes Red a huge thank you. The saddlehunter.com effect. Your greatest marketing tool so far. I expect this site is responsible for at least 50% of all saddle sales." There's chickens and there are eggs. Which came first? I know. Read through the thread listed below from...
