I’m at the ATA and looks like we might have a new company. Lone wolf custom. Says he will have a saddle also.

Brad Kuhnerts stated in the Video from Southern Outdoorsmen ,
that color may change and certain parts of design before its released
This Spring!

$100 more than the predator.....
also, I wonder how their rubberized coating will effect slipperiness with muddy/wet boots.

I don’t think they had enough saddlehunter experience in the design of that one, but it sure is awesome to have so many choices.

Also, I did see some discussion that they may have infringed on Dan Infalt’s patents regarding waterjetting or plasma cutting of stands... so it will be interesting to see how that all turns out.

The Ambush is cast ,
This will have nothing to do with Patent issues!

FYI Guys,
When Lone Wolf released Assasin stand it retailed from $225-$275.
This was 10+ years ago.
So $279 is not off on price point!

Seems more like just a different way of hunting to me. His saddle just looks like a padded linemen's belt to me - just to keep you from falling of the stand. Could be wrong can't see it that well.

You know after seeing the "saddle" he is using I can understand needing the extra size. Seems like that saddle would not do much for weight support and leave it mostly all on your feet. Nothing there that makes me feel the need to get one.

The original harness wasn’t a saddle as we use .
It was a standing setup and allowed mobile movement around tree.
Ive had 4 Assasins in the past 5 years and Sold because there was a market to sell.

As a brand new saddle hunter, (just order my saddle on Dec 24), having different options for platforms has some good and bad. The good is we have a choice, the bad is we really don't know what will fit us or even how a platform feels. That said I still like having more options and for my size 14 feet and have to wonder if the extra width would help. Being brand new, this site is a tremendous resource and it's great to see more companies taking notice of saddle hunting!

Yep. It's like we have different terminology. I would define saddle hunting as sitting in a saddle (something saddling your butt, hips and legs) with some kind of platform to give you relief. Kuhnert's system looks more like standing on a platform while leaning back into a harness, with mobility to lean around the tree. But it's obvious he's not sitting in that harness. Both of these system's are great. If you are standing most of the time this new ambush may be a great platform for you. I think it will come down to personal choice for a lot of folks.

$100 more but that’s the platform and saddle.

Not sure where you're getting the information that it comes with a saddle?

 

[Mechanicsburg]

I was at the ATA, they told me when I took the pic of the platform.

That is sweet. Didn't get to watch the whole vid, didn't see the saddle. Reading some of your comments it sounds like what many of us do now. Leaners vs sitters. With a platform theres np need to sit or walk around the tree. You can shoot 360 with less movement and no foot on a step pain.
