I'm extremely interested in this saddle style of hunting. Ive been an advocate of light, mobile setups for quite a few years with great success. When researching ways to lighten my stands and increase mobility, I stumbled into this site. If I was still hunting with a compound, I would have no questions. BUT I quit hunting with a compound in 2011 and only use a recurve or longbow.
My question/concerns for you guys that hunt with tradgear are these...
Is there much string interference with a 60" bow or difficulty getting a shot because of the longer bow?
How bad does shooting from a hanging position mess up your form(if at all)? do you have issues with shooting at odd angles?
Are you able to stop completely in order to shoot? I feel like you would potentially still be swinging when trying to shoot or can you stop 100%?
Has it caused many (or any) missed opportunities because your feet were not planted solid?
Are there any videos on youtube showing someone shooting an animal with tradgear from the saddle? I'd like to see it in action.
I love the idea, however, I'm fairly apprehensive of investing in a system only to discover it wont work well with my tradgear.
Feel free to post pics of your tradkills taken from a saddle.
Thanks for any feedback.
