Well since turkey season is over in Florida now I finally got some time to hang for an extended period of time today after work. I had tested tether and bridge length previously and found what I liked best at ground level. Today I took my new sticks based on Bowhunter15 design and my Dave aider with my Bullman platform and made 20” in short order.
I hung for a good hour just relaxing and adjusting backbelt and cupping pressure of saddle. Once I felt most comfortable I just chilled and had a great time pretending to kill deer from every possible position I could rotate to.
I’m finding the sense of security from a saddle very reassuring. Rotating around the tree and pivoting my hips felt very natural other than the slight mis-spacing of my platform steps. Will definitely work on that.
In closing I’d like to thank everyone here for a place so full of knowledge that any saddle novice can safely enjoy this style of hunting. Next is getting my longbow up in there with my a kill some pine cones to get ready. Can’t wait till September. Thanks fellas.
