Aerohunter 22% off

Why do you think a company like Aero only has one saddle currently available?
I’ve long since given up trying to figure out how folks run their business. Don’t want to speak for them but their an arborist company that had the skill set to make saddles when no one else was. Then the market blew up & everyone wants something different (half of them don’t know what they want) it’s probably less profitable to have a bunch of SKUs. Their marketing is unclear & they don’t get the word out, which was fine when you had some of the best saddles on the market.
 
They're still an excellent product though. But I agree, their marketing is somewhat not saddle hunter oriented.
Will never take anything away from their quality. Just disappointed in the current lineup. They had some great saddles, tweaked them then discontinued them once the new ones were released. But the originals are all still being imitated today…..
 
Y’all ain’t right. I did my best to not go poking holes in anything the above…….
Hey, I missed the chance to weigh in on the "Weird vibe..." thread before it got locked. Left me with some company critiquing itches to scratch.

How about how a company like Aero has no saddle product where we can actually use the lineman's belt system we have developed (rope type, attachment method and side it’s attached to, ascender, carabiner) and perfected?

Arrow hunter doesn't care about the saddle market .they are an established arborist company just dabbling in a saddle market they don't need. And they make the heavier rig.with the most useless straps.
 
I love to buy local but new tribe makes everything I don't want in a saddle and nothing I do want.way overkill .made less for hunting and more for falling.wich I don't plan on doing.so it's not a good selling point.i plan on hunting.but not from a 5 pound saddle.that feels like im straping in to an ejection seat in a jet. wish I had something good to say.....oh their quality of stitching is nice.but no j cline

I have their flex which I really like but yeah they don’t make it anymore so when it’s time to replace it I’ll probably have to look elsewhere.
 
Late to the party again... dang work. :wink:

Anyway, from a business only perspective -- it's a pretty good model. " they are an established arborist company just dabbling in a saddle market " props to Tailgunner. Aerohunter conducts the R&DTE for a new saddle. Their market share is well established to the point they invest very little in marketing and piggyback off the arborist saddle reputation. Efficient production by making one line for a limited time, and keeping none to little inventory because of "just in time" production. Splendid little side effect of "Mr. Gore's wonderful internet and POS purchases in your PJs. (focus "A" your are starting to wonder...). The company's years of experience enables them to build a superior product which last more than one season. Unlike the popular brand I purchased this year, and currently processing the manufacture's warranty request after approximately 6 hunts. (Focus "A", don't chase the squirrel - bad karma as they are the early warning system for the deer...). Anyway --there are fewer warranty request during the "model" year, and they probably sigma six the failure rate and time. What does this all lead up too...???? A worth while side hustle for New Tribe/Aerohunter.

Why don't they make it a more worthwhile side hustle by making great saddles like they used too?

You know, piggybacking off a proven reputation in the Arborist field, with proven designs in the Saddle Hunting market.

New designs are a dime a dozen, and new companies are wack-a-mole. You wanna compete with that, come up with a new design that's better than your old design. Or, just offer the reliable, time tested stuff and say this is who we are.
