This is my third year in the saddle but my first year with the Method saddle. I've been hunting out of a JX3 exclusively until this week when I had my first sit in the Method. I really like the Method for several reasons but will not give up my JX3. With that said I am using Hawk sticks with the small stick top platform. It worked out great but I can see where a larger platform would be nice. I'm considering the Tether, Cruzer and XOP edge platforms out of this three the Tethered platform is the lightest, I like the slant on the Cruzer platform and the XOP has my interest but it is heavy. Which one do most of you prefer out of these 3? What is your reason for your choice. Also I'm thinking of buying a knaider to use with sticks instead of my one step aiders I have on the Hawks, do any of you do this? I know it has been talked about lately. I also have a set of Lone Wolf sticks with double steps on top and wire aiders that I hunt with some with the JX3 and I like them. With these and the Method I will need a platform so I'm looking.
I know there has been a lot of threads concerning platforms and I've read most of them over the last 3 years so please don't say do a search. I'm interested in personal experience with your platform especially if you have had different ones.
Thanks for your responses, I know they will be valuable in my search.
