Anyone gotten an overwatch yet?

I had one in cart before 3:01. Clicked paypal link and watched screen say updating cart for 20 minutes. Assuming nothing to show for it. 2 weeks in row.
 
Personally I would rather pre pay and know I’m getting one, rather than hoping I luck out on timing. I’m sure they are excellent quality and I understand it’s a one man show, which probably leads to the quality. But i wouldn’t have a problem waiting, deer season is 7 months from now
 
It feels like I’m trying to buy concert tickets.
I get it though. He can only make so many a week. I’m sure he could do like all the other companies and do a big presale and take all the money and then actually make the saddles and you might get yours buy the opener. At least this way you know once you pay your saddle is already made and will be shipping soon. I’ll just keep trying until I get mine.

Sorry guys. Everyone trying to buy at once crashed the PayPal right off the website. Got it fixed but it still sucks. I wish I could make more of these. I’m debating just doing preorders

No worries man. Ive got 24" of standing snow, plenty of time till hunting season. Rather know what Im buying will be here soon than waiting months.

If people dont like it oh well. Focus on making the product!

...And a list would slow production as he would need to go through 50 emails each day asking when "my" saddle will be shipped.

And if he does everyone will be emailing to customize theirs and complaining that it’s taking to long and canceling their orders after a month of waiting because they want their money back so the can buy one that is in the classifieds.

Understand man, I’m sure it’s frustrating on your end. This way will probably work if you get the website to cooperate. Just think having a sale time when people are swapping the website is gonna cause problems. I’m sure there are a lot of people waiting on the clock to strike and the website is overloaded. Looks like a great product. Hope to get one in my hands at some point
 
I was in at 3:00:02! Had the same thing happen when I went to check out, by the time it was fixed, someone scooped in and grabbed the one sitting in my cart!. I'm happy to see the product doing so well and I'm sure Jamie and the team will figure it out and make it right. Looks like a rock-solid product and I can not wait to try.
 
I can see that being a tricky choice to make.
I'm fine with either.

I like the support and encouragement on this site, its cool to see you experienced guys
give it a go with a quality product.

Hope to pick one up soon. After my first year in a saddle I plan to source gear from actual saddle hunters as it seems to encourage the whole vibe here .

Well maybe he could ramp up inventory a bit before opening up sales. This currently is equivalent to a lottery.

Probably better off pre selling them in batches. Once those are caught up open up another batch of preorders.

I understand the frustration but in my opinion you’re still waiting with a chance of not getting one, meanwhile jc has to front all the funds to make them without bringing in any income.
 
Guy’s I understand your frustration but he is building these as fast as possible.
This currently is a one man operation from supplies to final inspection and he will not compromise quality to get them out any quicker.
Jamie is a honest humble guy just trying to make everyone a great product and make a living while do so.
For any of you DIY guy’s that have ever built a saddle you know it’s very time consuming especially of this design and quality.
I ask you guy’s please be patient I promise you it’s worth the wait.

It’s first come first serve, it isn’t a lottery. He is giving everyone a shot at getting one each week.
If he did pre orders it would be the same thing, first come first serve except everyone would have to wait longer. At least this way everyone has a fair shot at getting one each week. I think it’s an original way to do business for his one of a kind saddle. I think some people are just upset they aren’t able to get it right away.
