I been eyeing a saddle for about 4 years and kept putting off thinking I’ll stick to my lock on tree stands. In 2020, I had a back injury at work and couldn’t pull my bow back, due to not being able to stand up straight and in pain every step I took. After a spinal fusion and some p.t I finally was able to start shooting this past February I practiced every day to get back how I was before. During the summer i practiced climbing ladders for 3-5 hours a day then pulled out the old lock on with a set of sticks. The climbing wasn’t bad it was the sitting that killed me I still can’t sit longer than 15 minutes without acting up. So for opening weekend I bit the bullet and sat in a pop up I use for turkey hunting so I can stand. My cousin has a saddle and tried it out and that was it from there. I ordered one that night and a week latter I was in the yard hanging out and finding my fit. My favorite thing has always been sitting in the woods all day and now I can with no issues at all. Just can’t believe I been putting this off as long as I did.
