I received my JX3. I got a a chance Sunday to try it out at ground level in the yard. First thoughts:
it seems really heavy when you pick it up. That said with 10 WE steps inside it caries so much better than my LWCG 1.0, mini sticks and with a pack I couldn’t believe it. it feels like half the weight.
I loved the saddle but my knees couldn’t deal with it. Hanging in the tree was awesome. I am a huge fan of facing the tree. The Whale Tail works fantastic.
I ordered a few more Treehopper steps for a ROS as I had some already. Also ordered a OCD strap from DanO. Have a Kifaru Sherman pocket coming for minimal pack stuff (Price ouch).
Love the way it feels on my back and in the tree. Lots of time needed to dial it in. Tether and LB ropes are very nice. Seem to be 10 mm. Wish they were two different colors. Carabiners seem top notch. Can keep my Tethrd 8 mm set up on my climbing harness for the LWCG setup.
Will need to practice shooting my bow from the JX3 As not used to shooting sitting down. It will be different. Muzzleloader should be an advantage.
Comfort factor seems amazing. Safety and security perfect. Packability incredible. Finding trees with great cover and using the JX3 could be an interesting adventure.
Will practice and hope to use in winter bow but 2022 season will be exciting. Super pleased so far. Will report back after real field use.
