Yes g2 I'm using a hybrid I made. It has an Anderson/Big Bucks seat (they are the same) with a Trophyline lead which I modified big time.
Here are pictures of it rolled up and spread out on a pool table. Yes that's a softball and my hybrid next to it.
Just received another testimonial from the last workshop in September.

You know the old cliché of, “a picture is worth a thousand words”? If that’s true, then being there in person is worth ten thousand. There’s nothing like standing next to an instructor, having them point to something, and being able to just look and see it. That’s what I experienced at John Eberhart’s Whitetail Workshop I attended in late September and what I valued the most. It was enlightening to stand next to John while he physically pointed out security cover, bedding areas, the right tree for the set up, and why certain shooting lanes are cut. Then John would disappear up the tree he had prepped for that location and I then began to understand his success as a trophy whitetail hunter. The second day’s training on his scent control regimen and DIY hunting was icing on the cake. I also appreciate that John encouraged any and all questions and didn’t end any session until everyone’s questions were answered. If you are interested in being a better hunter, especially for mature whitetails, John’s workshops are worth your time and investment.

A Kill testimonial
John, I wanted to share this with you...
After attending your 2 day workshop back in July, I re-analyzed my property and early season stand locations which has been a weakness of mine. I kept focus on what you shared about setting up on very specific destination locations that offered perimeter and transition security cover and I have an isolated waterhole in very thick cover between a couple bedding areas. I’ve never hunted it because I deemed it too risky since the water is the only attraction and it's so close to the bedding areas. After talking with you I went in and prepared a tree for my saddle and cleared out an access trail to be able to slip in and out quietly.
I knew there were two good bucks in the area and that waterhole was the only water for about 1/2 mile in any direction during dry seasons which this has been. I went in on opening evening and noticed lots of tall rubs leading to and from the bedding areas and had several deer come in and drink. I had to get back in there again before the forecasted heavy rain lessened the appeal of this secluded water source.
I had a great hunt, complete with over a dozen does and fawns hitting the waterhole followed by 4 different yearling bucks. Then just before dark the small bucks became noticeably edgy, and kept looking back into the thick cover. I’ve hunted long enough and taken enough bucks to know exactly what that meant and sure enough a good buck was quietly slipping along the rub-lined trail heading to water. Once within distance and after making sure the other bucks were focused on him I quietly drew my bow and shot him in the lane I cleared at about 12 yards. He went about 50 yards and crashed within sight.
During the hunt I checked the wind several times and every time got a different result and although the wind was swirling in all directions, not one deer winded me. I don't know that I would have had the confidence to put this hunt together without seeing your scent control regimen and seeing and hearing your strategies first hand, so I thought you would like to hear that.
Though he isn't my highest scoring Michigan buck due to many out of symmetry deductions, he’s a mature buck and I’m very proud of him. While I’ve been a successful bowhunter over the years, I would like to say thank you for helping me take my hunting to the next level!
