Since deciding to make the switch to a saddle from a treestand, I've been set on running a ROS. Whats not to love, 4 squirrel steps on an OCB weigh almost nothing and fit in a cargo pocket. They were great for short practice sits in the yard, but then I did a few hunts out of my saddle for Turkey season this spring and everything changed. After about an hour there were definitely some serious pressure points forming on the bottom of my feet. So I found myself repositioning my feet every 15 minutes or so for the rest of each sit. But even that didnt completely fix the problem.
Even after all that, I was determined to make it work this deer season. I didnt want to try a platform until I saw one of the tethrd youtube videos where Ernie shoots to the weak side by pivoting his feet and bringing the bow under the tether and pinning himself to the tree with the tether. I was sold.
Long story short, the tethrd fathers day discount code popped up in my email yesterday and I ordered a predator platform.
So here is my question for the guys who have made the switch from ROS to platform, do I sell the ROS or keep em for "just in case"? I'm tempted to hold onto them for shorter sits, but on the other hand, my experience with them was so miserable that I will probably always find a way to make the platform work. How often do platform guys wish they had a ROS in the bottom of their pack? Thanks
