I joined the site a couple months back, and been on the site just researching anything and everything, since. The search function has helped a ton, keeps me from posting much.
I have been playing and practicing with a buddy’s setup. Tethrd Phantom and predator platform. The climbing and setup is fine. I hunt with a recurve and trying to get used to shooting from a saddle has been a little different. The saddle is fine, but I’ve never tried another to compare, but I like the light weight and minimalist approach of the phantom. The platform serves its purpose, but I’m thinking maybe a little bigger platform maybe ideal for me for the weak side shot.
Has anyone went to a bigger platform and liked it better? I know they won’t pack as compact, but getting a little more room to turn would be nice. Even thought about getting a DS .5 to use as a hybrid, but buying that and a complete saddle setup is a good chunk of change.
How does a predator xl and a mission compare? Is one recommended more than the other or just personal preference?
Thanks in advance...Mike
