Thoughts for kids in a Saddle

[DIYBOWHUNTING]

Did some searching here and still looking. Any experience with kids ages 10-15 using a saddle? Let me know what type of saddle you are using with your kids. I have a daughter (age 10) who would love to hang from a tree with me as she gets into hunting.

Using a Saddle behind a Treestand

I'd rather use a lock on stand but he needs a rifle rest to steady his aim. If I can find a lock on with a shooting rest that would be ideal. Get a shooting stick and wedge it onto your lock-on. Saves on weight, easy to lash into your pack/harness, and he can stabilize the stick with his elbow...

I have 4 kids, they’re 8,10,12 and 13 they all use a medium Mantis.
My daughter is the oldest and absolutely hates heights but she does great climbing with a lifeline attached to her bridge.

You might want to just hang a platform a couple feet off the ground and have your kid climb onto it and get a feel for sitting in the saddle. They usually catch on pretty quickly.
