I’ve read a few times that bridge length is something that can be adjusted for comfort. Looking for suggestions how I might try shortening the mantis bridge temporarily to test what length works best for me.

Leave the original bridge intact then get something adjustable like a whoopie sling and attach it with carabiners play around till you figure out what you like then you can make a new fixed bridge to replace the original.

Thanks. I’m a little scared to google Whoopi sling, but here goes nothing!

@MN_Bowhunter4 you could use your linemans rope as an adjustable bridge for testing.

You could also use a daisy chain if you don't like the whoopie
This is how I practiced at ground level before getting my Kestrel. It works well enough to give you an idea of the rope diameter and dynamics, which is really all you need IMO.
For what it’s worth (haven’t had to try myself yet), I have heard that Oplux and a Beal Jammy make a pretty good adjustable bridge.
