Am I the only guy on here that thinks the woopie sling on the XOP platform sucks,what I mean is
they are a real pain to adjust right and had it out today and it pulled apart, What am I doing wrong guys.
I would say 50% do, 50% don't. It all depends on your style and what works for you.So you guys really like using the xop seat instead of the steps once your locked in and ready to hunt?
For some it is. I have a bunch of platforms in my garage that I'm going to sell because I'm never going to use them. For others they add enough comfort to make the weight difference worth it. In the end it all boils down to personal preferences.I thought the whole point of the saddle was to stay nice and light so you can cover a lot of ground and still sit in a stand for a while, do you really need all this for your feet? Never used a saddle that's why I ask, need to figure out what to get. I saw a youtube vid with a single strap that had multiple pegs all around the tree, that seems like a pretty simple solution, anyone knows where you can find it? Ameristep? Are they out of business? I don't want to be screwing metal steps into trees every time I hunt, doesn't seem fair to the trees!

Yes, the pegs around the tree were the plastic ameristeps. There is lots of discussions on here about them. They are discontinued but they pop up in the classifieds quite often so keep your eyes open. You will want to use an over center buckle with them, there is a sticky on that also.
Yep, plastic, but they are really strong. And of the platform options, they are probably the most mobile. 4-5 steps let you walk around the tree as needed to make your shot.Thanks for the info, Ameristeps, they were made out of plastic? Yuck, can you throw some pictures? I don't like the idea of standing on plastic, but hey I'm new here, I have no idea. I was thinking a few of the Stepp's from the Stepp Ladder system around the tree is the best I can come up with at the moment, at least based on what I want to do without putting a bunch of holes in helpless trees, lol.
This set doesn't have a boat buckle on it, but you get the idea.Thanks for the info, Ameristeps, they were made out of plastic? Yuck, can you throw some pictures?
