I've spent a bunch of money on saddle gear over the past couple of years as innovations change and I've never seen so many manufactures work together and be so willing to adapt to the needs of customers.I've yet to see someone bash another's product line.I bought JX3 a few months ago and they got one out to me very fast,considering how many people are on their waiting list.Last week I spoke to treehopper about getting a few more steps and we talked about his recon saddle.I'm obsessed with my JX3 after using other saddles for 10 years but he sent me a recon to try.I got it today and after work,I'll give it a whirl up in a tree.Just looking it over,I'm pretty sure it will have a place in my tool box,although I can't see ever not needing a Jx3.Today,I called OAL to see if they could make a scout that had a flat platform rather than an angled one to better use with a JX3 and possibly be able to do a drop shot on my weak side.He make one and just called me a little while ago to say it shipped out.Just cool to see it all
