Trophyline mission

[cspot]

My tracking says I should have it tomorrow

 

[matt76cmich]

Those of you getting tracking numbers which shipping did you select?

I was one of the first to order and paid the extra dollar for the UPS 2 day ground and haven't received any notifications for shipping.

Not a huge deal, just curious and don't want to derail the thread with shipping stuff. Feel free to PM if you'd like.

They only had 3 day for me. I would have next day'd the damn thing if I could.

I picked the cheapest shipping. Turns out that they aren’t far from me. Probably why I am getting tomorrow.

Why did I check this forum tonight? Just spontaneously cost me $180 to buy/try the mission platform! I hadn’t even seen it until now but I like the look, build and size....just a little concerned about the weight. I already have an out on a limb Ridge Runner, and a Lone Wolf Hand Climber. I need this like a hole in the head. I think I have two complete saddle systems now. Ugh!

Same. I was hoping to get a notification. Boy we are a bunch of kids waiting on Christmas arent we? lol

I did not get sticks; perhaps orders bundled with sticks are taking a bit longer to get out??? I was notified just yesterday that it shipped, so the shipping seems really fast. I guess I am just lucky. . . .

. . . also, just tracked it again . . . they have narrowed the window to 1:15 to 2:15. I have to say, Trophyline seems to have wonderful customer service. I got kneepads from them last fall. Same deal - really fast, very responsive. Thumb's up in my book.

Ok if your anxiously awaiting your mission platform & want to compare order #s & ship dates & when will I get mine that goes
in the vendor section-shipping timelines (already a mission thread) you need to be a member to post there (gonna want to do that anyway for h Th e contest). At the very least you can view & follow along with the joy of watching other members with a platform in their hands while you wonder where yours is in transit...... please keep this thread free of order # tracking

Sorry - didn’t know not to post the order number.

I did get it and gave it a quick try out. I think it’s great. I did a comparison with my assassin. I think it is every bit as good. I think it has a little bit more flex than the assassin; but I like a few things more about the mission over the assassin.

I like that there is some grip for my boots where the assassin is smooth on top. Mission is a bit lighter. The‘step’ on the mission is bigger which I like. The contours in shape allow me to hang an turn in a greater variety of ways. All in all, it is a small improvement over the assassin. Great purchase. I did get the Ambush last year and never got it working for me and sold it. I like my ridge runner. But I think this is going to be my go to. I will still use the assassin and the ridge runner, but this is likely to see a lot of woods time.

here are a few pics next to the assassin.

What didnt you like about the ambush ?

I am a bigger guy - it flexed to much, would always work loose, and I couldn’t get it to stop creaking. Other folks like it; I just couldn’t get it to work for me. I saw it as a downgrade compared to the assassin, which is my favorite. The mission seems like it may be a slight improvement/update on the assassin - so I think I am going to like it a lot as I use it more.

I like what I am hearing, thanks!!!

Got my Mission Platform today. Well made and fit and finish are very good. Put it on the tree tonight and I really love it. I didn't notice any flex and I sideloaded the crap out of it and it didn't move.

I will preface by saying that I have a healthy fear of heights or a healthy fear of falling. LOL. Anyway I feel alot more comfortable when shooting on my week side with this platform. The bigger size makes a difference at least for me. Also very easy to stand upright on and move around a bit. I was going to use a platform on top of my stick for early season, but I think I will carry this. THe few extra pounds is worth it in my opinion at least for me.

 

[tedk]

Yep, same here. Side pressure is great. Every bit as good as my assassin l, which has been the gold standard to me, and better than all others I have tried. I just came in from a climb and some shooting. Really like the shape and the “tred”; the contours really make footing solid when I move around and shift and try different angles. Very versatile. I like a nice size platform, don’t mind carrying a little weight (this thing is pretty light weight to me). Still very impressed after being up in the tree and doing some shooting.

I like the powder coated post too. I will spray paint it, add some stealth strips or paracord to quiet it. I don’t envision myself wanting to do much else to it.

I haven’t quite figured out I want to pair sticks with it yet. Going to mess with that now. Going to see if I can make it pack nicely with sticks of various makes and models.

I am single stepping this year and it seemed like my mini-beast stick will pack easily on it.

Did you try the backpack straps? I wasn't overly impressed with them so I didn't even bother trying them. I would modify them or get ones with padding if I wanted to use them.

That is good to hear. I have the same fear and was thinking a little bigger platform might ease some of that. Can't wait to get mine in.

I order the mission the the trophyline CAYS backpack today. This is my first year saddle hunting. Thank you to all that have posted your tips and experiences, I have read and learned a lot from you!

 

[PEEJAY]

Ugh...my wife is going to kill me! If its possible I might try to use this as my one stick like @Redbeard did with the solo scout to help compensate for the weight of it. I wonder if my knaider swaider combo would work instead of an amsteel aider. I dont know, it might be too far off the tree for that.

Might need a couple of those squirrel step s3's to slide on there too haha. I gotta start selling off some of my other gear on here. Im hoarding climbing gear at this point...i could climb/hunt 5 trees at the same time haha
