Any update on saddle comfort? In the same boat, only a few sits and can't quite get it dialed in for a comfortable sit.
I sent it back and exchanged for the smaller size. Much better. I also switched to a platform instead of a ring of steps which help a bunch. I hunted all season and killed two deer from it. I’m happy with it. It’s either saddle or ground for me now. I’ll never pack a stand again.
 
I’m finally dialed in. Do not lose faith! It takes a little time. Some longer than others. The worst way to figure it all out is when you’re hunting. It adds too much stress mentally and you’ll wind up selling the saddle and regretting it down the road. Practice until you have it down second nature. Or if you’re a glutton for punishment continue climbing on your hunts and figure it out. Lol.

The problem I have at this time is NO PLATFORM! my Hawk seat mod didn’t work out long term. The brackets that bite the tree (aftermarket Lone Wolf brackets) are cheaply made and snapped when I climbed up onto the platform last week. That was fun! So now I have to save for the Podium because I refuse to pay $180 for a Predator.

I've been happy with mine so far. I've been using the WE Perch or a DIY platform. I find with the bridge at the middle/even point, tether head high, using ropeman 2, and leaning with platform to be very comfy and gives me to the ability to move far enough around a tree to shoot 360.

Hoping next year I can get a deer to walk by in range so this whole season of learning won't go to waste.

Just got my TL AP for Christmas and sitting in it as much as I can before the end of the season. I'm experiencing the same lower back pressure, do you have an update in position to relieve that pressure?

I was able to make some adjustments and get more comfortable but ultimately I ended up returning it. My Kestrel Flex came in shortly after I got the TL and for me it was just the better option.
