Yeah I did something similar to that. I used rubber coated wire and slightly tightened it down till it didn’t slide freely on the strap! Good mod! I like it !I tied some small cord on the 'ends' to keep my strap where I want it.
I hockey taped it too...

The cord on the right side goes through the strap (right behind the buckle) and keeps it put.
I need to do that to mine....I tied some small cord on the 'ends' to keep my strap where I want it.

I added a twisty tie wire thing to the top of mine so I can hang it on my tether while i put the cam strap on the treeI need to do that to mine....

I rest mine on my knee while I reach around the tree and hook up the strap. It would take a long wire to hang mine on my tetherI added a twisty tie wire thing to the top of mine so I can hang it on my tether while i put the cam strap on the tree
Im usually right up against the tree so I just hang it from my bridge/tether. I’m clumsy and always dropping stuff from the tree. I try to keep everything attached to something nowI rest mine on my knee while I reach around the tree and hook up the strap. It would take a long wire to hang mine on my tether

They are cut at a 45 on both ends, I initially used round holes and a ratchet strap and they wanted to cam up and down, they wouldn't come loose, but had to be settled back into place everytime I moved my feet. I switched to slots and the cam buckle that cam with the pursuit platform and they are rock solid now. The portion your foot rides on is 3" x 2 3/8" wide so it's a pretty forgiving place to rest your foot, I haven't used any manufactured steps to compare them to though. They are made out of 2" schedule 40, and just under 7" long on the long side of the angles.

You can make 8 with your specs out of a 5’ section. 5’ is only $13.88 at my local Menards. I think I’ll use them as presets. Thanks for the info!

That being said mine have been solid through about 15 setups so far.

I’m not sure if it’s the buck I thought he was?
I’ll let yins know in a little bit.
I’ve been mixing it up with my tree climbing the last couple nights.
I’ll try to make a long story short since I’m in a tre now and there’s deer in the field...
So, the other night I left my rappel rope, one-stick and pull up/down rope in a tree. I had a bunch of does out in front of me in the field ‘till almost dark and the wind died down from a 9 - 10mph SW to a really light Easterly wind. Guess where the field is. Yep, due West of my tree!
Uh oh! Here comes a nice buck.
I’ll finish this later...
Can’t sleep so I’m pulling a late night SH fix. Anyway, my first hunt out of the Pursuit and it worked great. I used the OG cam buckle that came with it and it’s rock solid. When all
my weight is on it when transitioning from Lineman’s to my tether, the top part of the teeth pull slightly away from the tree but once I’m tethered in it is fine and no movement or squishyness.
What’s this new test platform @RMcDonald7 ?
Do you know if they're going to consider discounts for those who may want the upgraded ones? My Pursuit says 5/22 Type 1. I'm assuming that's the original unstructured one then?Above in the thread somewhere is a picture showing the new design adding some support on the outside corners. I should have the prototype very soon!
