Just got the saddle in a couple days ago, got to try it out today and was surprised to find myself leaning a good bit more than sitting. Might not have had it in the best position for sitting, but the microfit adjusters were definitely a plus.

Don’t have a platform currently. Stood on top of my helium sticks. Could have used a couple screw-in steps on either side of the tree, but still super comfy! Took the rifle and was not surprised that strong side shots would take some maneuvering, but I shoot both right/left handed

Can’t wait to add a platform and flatten a deer with the ole Mossberg.

A platform changes the game with a saddle and in my opinion is dang near a necessity. I was surprised to find that I lean a lot more than sit too. I don’t really think sitting is that comfortable to be honest. At least I haven’t found a great way it works yet. It leaning is almost as relaxing as sitting for me anyway. And somehow I seem to stay a lot warmer leaning too.

Just a world apart compared to lugging an 18 lb lock on in and out wearing an uncomfortable harness.
