Tree saddle

[rutman]

I have an aluminum summit that I’ve used for 10+ years and love it but I’d like to try a saddle before buying one.

If you’re ever in the Rome/Summerville area, you’re welcome to try mine. I’ve got several Summits. It’s not as comfortable as sitting in it, but much more versatile.

I’ve got nearly $1000 in everything. It can done a lot cheaper. I got a deal of the saddle off archery talk, but the sticks were $100 a piece. But they’re solid as a rock.

I have been looking at the XOP Renegade Saddle Harness Combo, has anyone bought one or have some experience with one?

If you get an aider, you can climb near the same height with a few less sticks.

A question for you guys that use climbing sticks, how much total weight are u really gaining by using a saddle set up instead of an ultralight hang on? A helium hang on is 11 lbs. A Thetred saddle weighs 2.5 lbs. lineman’s belt 1lb, 3 beaners 1 lb, tree teather 1lb. Platform 4 lbs. If you hunt with a platform your at 9lbs. If you use a ring of steps you can get down to 7, but the ring of steps SUCK. IMHO with a saddle comfort is not there, there is more unneeded movement in a saddle, and you are handicapping yourself by not being able to shoot off your weak side in many cases. I have seen guys who can shoot off their weak side, but many can’t. I have hunted out of a saddle many times, but the day I bought a Hawk Helium I sold the saddle.
