I just can't make myself turn to the right on my little platforms at hunting height lol - LW HC and Podium - lol ....At ground level no problem - so I've played with putting screw in steps at 9 and 3 o'clock at the same height as the platform....I can get a full 360 degrees shot with ease and minimum movement without needing to stand...Kind of a hybrid setup using the advantages of the platform as far as comfort and the ROS for mobility....Any of you guys having the same issues with these little bitty platforms should try it...

That's my preliminary thought on set up as well. Platform for comfort and ROS for maneuverability

Man the hand climber is huge compared to some of the platforms. Still there’s nothing wrong with running a hybrid system. That’s one of the great things about saddle hunting, you don’t have to conform to someone else’s way of doing it. You can use a platform or ros. You can use both or neither.
