This is very true in regards to buying/selling saddles looking for your personal fit. "IF AT ALL POSSIBLE" - I highly recommend if you can attend a Saddle Meet-up in your area or can locate other saddle hunters near you, to go a try out as many rigs as possible. The meet-up/camping trip I posted above that I attended. . .there was A GANG of equipment to try out and everyone was very helpful and open with their rigs for all to try out - it was awesome!!! And this is something that really impressed me about Robert and Alisha. . .Robert brought out two big totes of other manufacturers of saddles that - HE OWNED - (MANY other brands, but can't remember just how many) and allowed all of us to take them for a test drive, then threw his saddle in the mix for all of us to use/abuse as well. He wasn't cocky or over confident with his product, but was like, "this is what else that is out there for the hunting world market and here is what we have to offer - check it out!!!" I wasn't the only one walking away with visions of a my next saddle rig in mind nor a new saddle going home!!! Morel of the story - put your ass in as many saddles from the various brands out there and see what turns your crank. Everyone is different body wise and everyone is different in hunting styles, it is up to you to find what makes a good fit.I like my XC but never sat in the Method. Regardless you’ll prob buy and sell a couple saddles so pick one and give it a try!
