Transformer saddle rope noise

Seems like any time you have a rope that can slide across a piece of metal, it can potentially happen. That morning it was doing it, I had a huge tether lead, on the ground, in a leaning tree. When I tried to replicate it under a normal situation, seems it takes a lot of work to get the rope all the way to the side of the D ring. I think the little dab of wax made a big difference. I can still get it to do it if I force it. But i feel it more than I hear it.
 
@JCLINE84 yea, I was doing it wrong and misunderstood the process. I was trying to shift weight by moving bridge loops on D-Rings.
I’ll try again next time out. And I’ll puts some bowstring wax on rings so rope gets coated in inner loops.

That’s the same experience I had. I had to physically move it to get it to make the noise. But now we know for the next time someone encounters that problem.
 
@JCLINE84 well it work pretty good this morning. Sat from 6:54 to 10:34 when 3 fawns and a yearling doe came in.
After a missed shot, a uneducated yearling, a good wind, and a God of second chances! I put some meat down!

The saddle did great no comfort issues, and no noise since I didn’t mess with bridge but the D-Ring.
