So I’m new to this saddle thing. I’ve been watching video after video and almost pulled the trigger on the mantis, heard about the phantom so I waited. However, over the last month or so I played Around on a platform with a HSS harness, makeshift bridge and tethered to a tree. Just to try and get a feel for how things worked, how I’d react to having such a small platform, how I’d shoot off of it, and if I even felt comfortable... so I got a picture from my wife of a Tethrd box sitting at the front door and managed to get out of work for the rest of the day and rushed home... I pulled it out of the box and fit it to me, and spent the next 3.5 hrs just sitting in a tree in my backyard. this is the most unbelievably comfortable hunting system I have ever used and it’s not even close! In all honesty, I have no saddle experience to compare it to other saddles, but this is a product that blows my mind on comfort. I got the entire thing set up, ehh maybe 5-7’ in a tree and loved it. Shot out of it, swung in it, tried to fall out of it... the phantom is a serious upgrade to my hunting repertoire and I can’t thank all you guys enough... Congrats to the guys at Tethrd and thank all of y’all for sharing the information with me to get started!
