Interesting. Your platform teeth look more like my first run and not like the pic from enkriss. Anxious to here your review of how it cams to the tree.Some pics
Wonder why they didn't send them out to the round 1 people that they sent the new machined posts to?Yep, they made that change based on some early feedback.
I'll be honest, my leveling mechanism is just fine, not worried about that. The teeth on my Ambush are also unique, took a grinder to them and took them right down to a point.Wonder why they didn't send them out to the round 1 people that they sent the new machined posts to?
Please send pics of the teeth modified. Did it help with the platform's overall stability?I'll be honest, my leveling mechanism is just fine, not worried about that. The teeth on my Ambush are also unique, took a grinder to them and took them right down to a point.
Did this modification improve the stands performance and if so in what manner?
I felt that it helps the platform set into the tree better. With the stock teeth length, the platform has to pivot along that whole length of the teeth when you cam it over. This way they are camming over on that point which will set themselves into the tree better. In my opinion this has made a difference. With that said, one thing that you cannot completely eliminate is the flex of the platform, but I have also found that the top of the post is some very useable space when moving around the side of the platform.Did this modification improve the stands performance and if so in what manner?
Crazy that you should have to do that on the most expensive platform on the market by far. I was back and forth on getting one and selling my assassin but i think ill keep it for now
Not a necessary mod. Calculated risk.Crazy that you should have to do that on the most expensive platform on the market by far. I was back and forth on getting one and selling my assassin but i think ill keep it for now
Yep. I've been kicking around a kidney belt for a while. Made some prototypes, played with an assassin harness, and sat in @ImThere's battle belt at the north bama event. Was gonna make one like his (still may) but this little nugget checked all the boxes and the price was right.I just ordered mine.
It looks comfy from way over here. Lol

I replaced the buckle with the one I prefer and will vet wrap the d rings this evening. Weighs 13oz with the new buckle. Dead quiet. And you really do forget you're wearing it. No linemans loops to flop around, you just clip the bridge to the d rings and share it with your linemans. Or I may go back to trying to find a good way to use the linemans as a "tether" once I'm at height.
Also got 2 cable aiders in. 2 mini sticks and the platform will get me 10ft in less than 5 minutes. I have a few more little changes to work through, but it's looking like a stupid-easy, stupid-comfortable, and highly effective way to hunt.
Me too. I wonder sometimes how the heck I fell down the saddle rabbit hole. I couldn't do it over again. Too much thinking. My favorite gun is a break action 20 gauge. Just grab it and shoot stuff.looks simple enough. I like simple
Because clearly you also like playing with stuff.Me too. I wonder sometimes how the heck I fell down the saddle rabbit hole. I couldn't do it over again. Too much thinking. My favorite gun is a break action 20 gauge. Just grab it and shoot stuff.
I'm working towards the equivalent of that for a saddle.
