Thought I was logged into AT for a minute...whew, things have changed.
I'm pretty sure a policy was put in place that if someone had an issue with a company to contact them directly, and to stop these kind of posts. I'm wondering why that's never enforced when it's about Tetherd
They’re saying they’re going to do an exchange for them so that’s a big step in the right direction. I’m glad they decided to step up because I’m sure 90%+ of the gen 1’s were sold to guys from this forum. And it’s just good business.

I think the beef was that the Kite was being developed as the Mantis was released. Tethrd basically beat them to the punch and put out an almost identical mesh saddle. That’s when Boswell dropped out here.
It’s too bad. I really miss his input here as well. He was a great spokesperson for saddle hunting and did whatever he could to help everyone out.

I remember it as well. Wasn’t the best way to handle the situation no doubt. New Tribe and Tethrd can coexist and I think they have proved that very well. He had no reason to take that road and I really wish he hadn’t.Just to be clear which came first? Yep contrary to what some have said in the very thread.
I remember when he dropped out. I remember what he said. I remember what he did. I haven’t forgotten

I am curious if/when they are going to contact gen 1 owners to make them aware of this.
One discussion/ argument doesn’t make us AT.
I think it’s good to air out the laundry every once in awhile until the name calling starts I say let it ride!

We know that people continue to encounter platform failures with gen1 predators, who are surprised to find out that there was a design revision to counter this known weakness.Do you know they haven't?
Love the people with 2018 join dates talking about the good old days......

Time to bow out of this thread.
Final comment...
I like my preds. Fantastic products that I love...all 3, so far,(the two gen 1s and the gen 2), have not screwed me or my hunt.
I will keep the breakage issue in mind and will continue to take safety precautions.
I do wish Tethrd was a little more "on top" of this, but I don't run a business.
Somewhere in this thread, it was mentioned that there will be a trade-in/buy back type program in 2020. Well, "2020" is a long time...will it be January 2020 or next December 2020?
I completely understand that products go thru the rigors of user abuse and that crap happens with all 1st generation products in any product line. I believe they have addressed the gen 1 issues with the improvements in the gen 2s. I have 100% confidence in my gen 2.
I just wish they would address the concerns of us gen 1 users and let the customer decide what they want in order to remain satisfied.
But, hey, it's their business. They can continue to run it the way they have. I'm not sure that they are keeping their customers as top priority.
All that being said, I'm about to be on vacation until December...Entire November rut glory! I will be spending a lot of time on my Predators, both gen 1 and 2.
Good luck guys.
Be safe, be successful and satisfied with what the hunt brings your way.
How do you know which Gen you have? I got mine in May 2019......Those Gen 1 preds are failures waiting to happen, unfortunately. That back section was not terribly well-framed. It’s almost incomplete without the extra metal back there. The extra support on the G2, especially in the back, makes me wonder why they ever released the G1 as it was. It was definitely rushed just to have a platform hit the market. Why else would you only rate G1 to 300#, which is clearly heavier than it can actually take? I have to just shake my head when guys offer to buy or are looking for a G1. This has to be at least a dozen with almost identical breaks that I’ve seen since May. The G2 is a tank though. It’s the one that should have been released from the start. I’m pretty sure the rating on IT is understated at 350#, and they really nailed the design of the platform framework on the G2. Now if we could just get a sharper batwing and a stomp-pad on the G3...
That's not a good thing.Just shows you how quickly this site has grown...
I’ll back track then. Thanks.It’s like y’all forgot your wives and women down at the bar have boobs......
