I for one appreciate how this company is announcing their products. Obviously it is still to be seen how it all shakes out but at least it doesn't look like a 6 month pre-order. I'm theory they they could have announced the same time as the latitude sticks with a pre-order. It's like tethrd started that stupid trend and new saddle companies have accepted that's what it takes. Good to see somebody doing testing and building inventory first.

I like Jay from Mindful Hunter and Mindful Reviews. His reviews are unbiased (he's not sponsored and refuses to be) and calls it the way he sees it. He's also a Canuck out in BC, so that scores points for me. LOL

Vendor marketing and paid shills are full of .

I joined mindful-reviews.com primarily to support Jay. Great gear reviews, but not saddle-related.

I don't like that they just opened their website up for business yesterday and are running a promotional sale ending this Sunday but have put out nothing of substance to show off the gear.

The former original owner of Hawk hunting gear before he sold it and quality plummeted. He was also the VP of Primos hunting.
Edit....I kept reading and saw it was answered.

Thanks. That's much clearer than:

New company Hunt Arsenal.

New platform:
View attachment 87538
New saddle:
View attachment 87539

Rumor has it they will have new sticks also.
I really like the platforms sizes and weights, the saddle is interesting. They added the built in pockets on the cloud, like the old school trophyline saddles from the 90’s… something that tailgunner has been doing on his coast ghosts that have been circulating around as well. The stuff looks good in the pics. Can’t wait to see some review videos on them.

The Arsenal stuff will be the second ( barely) to market with the cleat? Style attachment method right? That's one of the biggest appeals of them to me. Very curious to check that out tomorrow!

I think the sale is primarily for the people attending the EXO and @enkriss LOL.

I can understand waiting on the Expo to launch the product.

But the top banner of their website is: SAVE & RESERVE NOW! (code valid until July 30)

Paired with: **ALL NEW ORDERS EXPECTED SHIP AUGUST 15 (OR SOONER)

I believe the third because the JX3 one stick also uses a boat cleat style as an attachment method
