First Hang - Newbie Saddle Hunter

[jmbknvc]

Didn't get to get out this weekend but did go on a midweek hunt. Which was my first time in the saddle and believe I experienced what they talk about getting your "saddle legs" or should I say "saddle feet". Here is my quick thoughts about my first hang from a newbie. The clip starts towards the end of the hang and will do a full review later.

Make sure you have a steel shank boot for support. It makes a world of difference in the support and comfort

Picked up a pair of Danner 8" Pronghorn boots the other day and they have a TPU Shank. Thinking that the harder sole boots will help out and look forward to testing them out this weekend. Thanks for the tip.

The cables were a little bothering when I wanted to move around the tree. Otherwise, I think the platform width is a little larger than the Predator platform on order. However, did some practice shooting today off a WE step platform and really liked being able to place my feet on each side of the tree.

@bigjoe
The harder sole boots with the shank made a world of difference. As you can see from the pic I was using a ladder stick as my platform. Could place the step in the center of the boot without an issue, but found placing the heel of the boot on the step and angling out about 45 degrees was the most comfortable.
