Are there and forums or videos out there on how to change out bridge or any other good mods? Tried searching forums already with no luck.

The buckle that comes with the Trophyline saddles works loose if you wear your saddle in so replacing with a 2" Cobra buckle with buckle slides is something to think about. The bridge on Trophyline saddles is part of the saddle and would have to be cut off or moved out of the way to change. You can attach a bridge of your choice off the linesman loops but the saddle wasn't designed this way and would be a use at your own risk alteration. It might also be harder to sell down the road with an altered bridge. Try the bridge for awhile and see if you like it, then cut it off or change it later. The Black Diamond mini Parabiner and Black Diamond Positron carabiners are wide enough to allow your bridge to move through if that's an issue.

Thank you I noticed several guys on YouTube said it was difficult to slide the bridge thru the carabiner so I will definitely be purchasing the biners you suggested.
I’ve always hunted out of hangons, climbers or Ladderstand. I like the idea of being able to be so mobile. I hunt private land 99% of the time but I’ve had issues with trespassers stealing or damaging my stands. That’s also one of my selling points for swapping over to saddle hunting.

I was in the same boat a couple years ago with the hang ons and ladder stands. I find the Trophylines are pretty comfortable but they do take awhile to get dialed in. They're built really solid. I only recently found a Diy saddle set up that will work better for me and will probably be selling one or both of my Trophyline saddles soon.
