What Tether'd HAS done that NOONE else has - was to offer the Saddle hunting industry a complete package deal - you can get everything from them to be saddle hunting and they are bringing forth products new, lighter and better product for Saddle Hunters. Sure a lot of jumping into the mix now (and again) but Tether'd was the one that really opened up the market for the current popularity (Aerohunter was out there for several years and did little to promote the new growth). And a lot of that was due to Social media and the sites some of their founders created (G2, Flingarois, etc.) They were ALL involved in the multiple DIYs here on this site - NO other company can make that claim.
