This is a great stand, period! It's lightweight, climbs easy th-cam.com/users/postUgkxlQ7TDIrnnSXXbRgFFaxqwullRJJIuYAs and feels solid while in the tree. The seat is easy to fold up for climbing and sits comfortably for long days in the woods. The only downside I have is that it might be too comfortable, but I like napping in the tree anyway. This is the second Summit Viper I have owned. The old one is steel making it heavier, but this aluminum version is about 9-10 lbs lighter. I recommend buying a better fall harness as the one included is clunky and not super comfortable. I think it will work fine if you NEED to use it, but there are lots of other more comfortable options out there.
Oh hell yes. As a new (54 year old) hunter, hunting on public land in WA state where trees have branches and come in all shapes --- this is the kind of information I need. Thank you. I will be purchasing. "Subscribed" and STOKED!
I just had a "flashback". The first time I ever saw a "saddle stand" was back in the late 70's. I was hunting on public ground next to the Mark Twain State Park in Missouri. I ran into a couple of fellow hunters from the nearby town of Perry who had put together saddle stands using safety belts from wrecked cars they got at a local auto salvage dealer. They didn't cost a dime and with a little "engineering" they had an effective and safe system. This stuff if LIGHT YEARS ahead of the stone age stuff we made up back then. Great job.
lol
I work for a tree service I climb all day everyday I'm actually thinking about getting one of these for Hunting it would be so ideal for these Pa hunts. Thanks for the video
You work for a tree service? I would like your opinion on this. If you'd be so kind. th-cam.com/video/gwRQDcez63Y/w-d-xo.html
I’m really getting pumped up about trying this saddle for my next deer hunting adventure thanks guys for sharing
You guys are hands down the best hunting channel on TH-cam. I'm trying out the tethrd mantis this year and I'm excited. I hunt nothing but public whitetail and you guys have helped me SO MUCH!! With your videos. THANKS for your videos
How is it going now?? How do you like the saddle
@@backintimepressurewashing180 I'll be honest I prefer the cruzr archon. I love everything about saddle hunting but I'm not a fan of the tethrd mantis saddle
Dangit, now I'm gonna have to buy one of those... That looks awesome.
Me too. I struggle to keep my balance free standing on a platform. I like the idea of being tethered tight and having all the flexibility
Dangit
It looks like way too much stuff going on
How has it treated you past 3 years?
Rotating under the tether for a weak side shot is a great tip. Especially when you can hear them coming and get into that position early. Very stable.
Do you know what he called that molle accessory strap he put around the tree that he hung his pack from? I keep replaying the video but I can't make out what he's saying.
@@blazinferno79 Its called a HYS strap.
Dyi sportsman why the knee pads. I don't see you use them. Like Ernie is in this video. Looking to make my own kit or buy one.
@@dennisknepp1616 I typically use them. Not always needed, but sometimes they are very helpful. Like if you get a forward leaning tree which will cause your knees to support more weight if you're in a sitting position. If you're primarily a leaner though they arent as important.
How comfortable is the saddle? I'm about your height. 6'2" . About 190 lbs. How does it feel around the inner thighs?
Great information. Never too late to learn something new. I just got a saddle this summer and I learn something every time these guys speak! Thanks for the information. Good luck hunting and stay safe.
That teach under rope over the shoulder was pure tree saddle jiu jitsu magic truly a killer tip. Great job guys
Thanks for the awesome content. I have been doing a lot of research as I am thinking of switching to the saddle. I hike pretty far in on public and love the idea of lightweight setup. The only “hang up” for me is the cost.
Was iffy on whether or not I wanted to try this system out...but I think this video convinced me to give it a shot. Seems very convenient.
Love watching you guys it’s more enjoying seeing guys working for there harvest vs sitting over a bait pile on a 2,000 acres farm been going through and watching all your episodes from last year good luck everyone this fall and be safe
I can now set up in about 6 to 7 minutes, and I just started using it this year, and I only use one lineman rope for everything, I think it's a all personal preference once you learn it. Its very efficient, light weight, every mobile. I absolutely love saddle hunting! Thank y'all for these extra tips.
Awesome video. I just got my Mantis and predator last week and I am super siked to get in the woods.
My saddle kit is being delivered Friday I’m so pumped to practice all summer for this fall
I listened to your podcast for the first time on Spotify yesterday. Randomly clicked your video today, just to find out I was already subscribed! Lol Awesome content! This convinced me to get a saddle
I just bought a climber ! Lol should of got the saddle
I love these guys. It would be awesome to have hunting friends like they do
I worked for a man who lived and guided the Gilas in sw New Mexico. He rigged him a saddle setup he came up with back in the 70s! He was a Man of men for sure. True mtn man.
Just waiting on mine to come in mail! So excited to start saddle hunting!
Nice teachable moment, nice product, well executed. I appreciate the time spent to share this. I have been using a "Sneaky-Sak" saddle/sling for the past 23 years and an Anderson tree sling for several prior to that. I have been using a saddle well
before y'all were even born !
Be safe out there, best of luck and thank you for taking the time to share.
It's definitely harder than it looks! The number one advice I can give is having your trees preset!!! The climbing system getting up in the tree is what makes you sweat!!!!!!
At this point, wouldn’t it just be easier to hang a lock on?
@@theharpeth no not at all. Mobility and your using your legs so you stay warmer in cold weather vs sitting down. I prefer my saddle vs the hang on stands. You wanna use the tree for cover so setup knowing deer movement and wind.
No need toth-cam.com/video/gwRQDcez63Y/w-d-xo.html preset if you do it like this
Guys.... I really really appreciate this video. I just shared it with 2 people.
DYI Sportsman & Shane Simpson got it done in ND in 3 days. Waiting on you guys done in ND. Good luck 👍
Great video for new comers, simpke tips that make a big difference, im definitely getting on board this train.
Good video. Great timing. I'm just getting things together to (hopefully) try this type of hunting this season. Thanks to all you guys and to the Tethrd boys, too.
One thing I noticed on my Mantis saddle (must have been manufactured wrong) is the leg buckles are facing both in the same direction. Not a big deal but it definitely kinda rubbed me the wrong way, hope the guys from tethrd notice this and up the QC. This will be the first year in a saddle for me and looking forward to the mobility and ease of use for mobile hunting. Lots of benefits for the mobile hunter in my mind. Thanks for the great videos THP and keep them up.
You guys are great. I love your videos. They represent the bowhunting that 99% of us do.
Just got my Menace saddle in the other day from Tethrd....Got a sys hauler and a ropeman coming in soon to make it that much easier to adjust...Great video
Arborist here, for those using a prusik on your lanyard system and sick of using two hands, throw a fixed pulley on the underside of the prusik, and it’ll act as your second hang! 😉
Do you have a link to what I'm supposed to be looking for to learn how to do this? Please
@@Patrician9000just need a regular pulley. If you look up Horch climber pulley system, or a VT hitch system, you should get some videos or pictures of what to do!
I have watch this a couple times and it's just super good information just got my saddle and I'm doing a lot of research you guys are the best
Nice job guys. We use Tethered Mantis and Aerohunter Flex . We also use the DRT climbing method to access our trees. Which makes are run and gun setup extremely lightweight. As always you guys put out awesome content. The Saddle hunting craze is getting bigger by the day . It’s gonna be a fun season . Best of luck to you all !!!
This was a very helpful video as i am trying Mantis this year. Thanks very much.
Can't believe you got Matt Damon to promote Tethrd! That's Awesome!
Hahahahaha
I came to the comments to see if anyone else saw it. Haha
I just got one 2 weeks ago and this helped a lot
Some of you guys need to give them a break!!! The struggle is real sometimes in the real hunting world 🤷♂️ Great saddle video. I only wish I knew someone that had one so I can try it.
I agree. Im interested but want to try it.
Damon Garrett I only hunt private during prime time. Public is very tough hunting and challenging.
Damon Garrett come try that in Texas. I knocked on doors, called, and sent letters to a total of more than 300 property owners for a grand total of 0 permission. Texas is a pay to play state, because landowners understand someone in the state would be willing to pay for the access you asked for for free.
Isaac Barnett Kansas is just as bad... $1500 is average and up !
Tim Miller yep, $1500 is a VERY low priced lease here in Texas. That’s why I only hunt public. I’d rather hunt all over than share 100 acres with 3 other guys for $1000 a piece!
I’ve worked at height for years in tree care, tower work, etc and “lineman’s belt” is not the correct term. Also a hitch climber pulley and a VT knot is so much smoother for running a POSITION LANYARD aka lineman’s belt. I do love the content and the love that saddle hunting is starting to get
Thank you. It's a lanyard! Thank you, thank you. Hey, take a look at this, since you're a pro. Would really appreciate a comment. Thanks. th-cam.com/video/gwRQDcez63Y/w-d-xo.html
I always thought the saddle was a self climbing system like a climber stand. If you have to put up pegs or a ladder of some sort anyways I guess I struggle to see what the big benefit would be over a climber or even just a hanging stand with a good safety harness.
I'm no expert but I believe the big advantage is the system is compact and light weight to get in the deep in the woods without carrying a bunch of extra weight. Plus there is versatility to hop from depot to spot each day with minimal hassel.
@@lurchaddams4179 - But you have to go out ahead of time to hang steps or a ladder to get up to the saddle so I don’t see how it’s any easier than any other hang on stand or ladder stand. It’s not like you can just pick a tree on the fly and hunt it like you could with a climber stand.
@@claymac7895 You don't need to go out ahead of time. You can use climbing sticks you carry with you, rope ascending, and various other methods. Saddles are way lighter and easier to move around with than a climber or hang on stand with sticks.
It only takes like 10 minutes to get fully set up in a a tree
go watch ny saddle hunter. they show how to self climb with it. Thats how i hunt with it
you guys r just awesome I love watching u guys work out of a tree saddle ...thinking of buying 1 for my situation
This is quality info. More please! Loving your videos guys.
I just started watching your videos born and raised outdoors sent me to your channel I couldn't believe what you you were doing That demonstration explains what you were doing Wow You guys are amazing
That was pretty comprehensive, as always thanks for sharing. Good luck on the deer tour!
love my mantis saddle. i have everything they make. very nice stuff. my recliner will be here in 2 days, looking forward to the back support.
I am a tree climber by trade and my impression of this equipment as well as technique is that it is sketchy at best. For example, the leg straps on the saddle the just slide into the loops without any closure would absolutely never be used by an arborist. At 5:12 you are describing what we call spur climbing a tree, in which we use a flipline/lanyard like you have, and spurs on our feet to spike up the tree. I would love to see you use this technique without spurs. Also, the Prusik knot that you guys all agree "sucks" (okay sure mechanical ascension is easier) is just one type of friction hitch to serve that purpose, and is often not the best solution. Don't get me wrong, if this system works for you and the security of the equipment doesn't scare you, more power to you. All I can say is that no arborist I know would feel comfortable with this gear.
I noticed that also and thought, that's not safe! I work for the power company and am familiar with safe fall protection. Maybe I'm wrong but I think the leg straps need to be better connected than just slide into a slot! At least, for me to use it!
I'm a tree climber as well and do alot of tree work as a side business! I 100@% agree with everything you said, The use of a Ropeman 1 that a lot of saddle hunters are using as a main life support attachment makes me shake my head!
@@robertb2444 No professional climber would ever use a harness with leg loop attachments like in the video and for good reason, So you're absolutely right!
I was thinking about going to an arborist or a rock climber and asking them what gear I should get to climb and hang from tree's. I figured taking "rock" climbing lessons wouldn't be a bad thing.
Looks like a huge pain. I slip in with a small camo stool, Primos monopod shooting stick and hunt from the ground. Super quiet, mobile and effective. Good luck dangling from a tree!
Lol! Listen to all of the spoiled hunting JUNKIES. One would think Bow Hunters would be patient. I’ll admit, I’m excited to see the next episode.
Not me, I'm blocking this channel!
Easy as 1 2 3.....4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12...
This is when I started to want a saddle still trying to get one two + years later.
Love the content as always. wish I was healthy enough to try one of these saddles set ups🎯
Sorry to hear you're not healthy. Maybe you can saddle hunt like this. I hope so, you didn't say how unhealthy you were. I hope you get better. I hope this will help.th-cam.com/video/gwRQDcez63Y/w-d-xo.html
Great vid
Just got my tethered mantis. Then got new climbing sticks by Hawk Helium ordered from Midway arms with2day delivery. Played with it all last night. All very easy to use and light weight for those long hikes into public ground. Love the tip on shooting to your “weak side”. Big investment but looking forward to years of mobile use in odd ball trees vs my old climber
When is Tethrd going to give you guys a discount code? Id like one!
This is the perfect setup to trespass on property and not leave any trace. I'm sold.
Allot of "get to the hunting videos" I like the suspense of a video to drop where you get something. Shoot true, hunting public!
Biased Harold it’s hunting season, so if they value their fans they’ll get the schedule rolling. You miss the point that they’ve had a schedule each year then this year two 1/2 hearted hunts and then throw a month old gear video at us. Meanwhile Shane Simpson and diy are getting it done.
Working on videos nonstop. We had this edited and decided to post it because we have had a lot of questions about tree saddles. New video will be up tonight!
@@shawnhagen6871 by their track record they value their fans lol they wouldn't put up a how to video if no one asked for it. Chill out sport
Okay old man
@@shawnhagen6871 I'm 25 bud
I'm a believer... This old man just learned a new trick. Ordering my rig right away. Thanks guys !!!
I understand the concept, especially if hunting on public land. But I can have my hang on setup in 20 minutes prior to when I actually want to hunt and climb up in it within 1 min.
G and T Outdoors then you’re stuck hunting that spot...
Yeah, how many treestands do you want to buy?
One saddle
Or 10 stands (depending on how many places you have to hunt)
Still can’t sit a crooked tree in a hang on easily or efficiently 😉
That's just one tree. It's about mobility.
Really appreciate the saddle hunting info. A person like me would end up having something wrong and end up on the ground quicker than shit through a goose! My climber stand is great for me because it’s super simple! And I suck when it comes to change. I’m 41 and have old injuries that are starting to haunt me. Love the content I made a comment earlier didn’t want it to be negative just hoping you all are safe and happy.
I love the mobility of a climber. I prep certain trees before the season. Trim all branches all the way up. Then I put trail eyes all the way back to my entrance.
Mr. Skeptical I love em I’ve taken many naps in mine 😂
I'm 53 overweight and beat up as well. I saddle hunt because it is easier and safer the way I do it. th-cam.com/video/gwRQDcez63Y/w-d-xo.html
Thanks for the demo! I can’t wait to get my hands on one! Along with some beast sticks
Perfect!!! My saddle is on the way, this is exactly what I needed! Please keep it coming!
I am almost convinced to sell all my stands and hunt this way. Seems a lot quieter than banging a stand around.
Several friends of mine had already switched to a saddle.
You won't have to settle for just that one stand that you hung in pre season nor spend time and sweat equity doing so.
2020 I'll be in the saddle.
A side note, there are more suppliers of a saddle. Research them and find what fits your style and budget. For me simplicity and efficiency works best.
Oh it is
Always learning something from you guys. As soon as I got a saddle i came to y’all’s channel because I knew there would be a “how to”
Dang it......I thought this was some ND footage!!!!
Same here man!haha
Me too😭
Same 😂
NC Guy me too. I was so hyped but maybe this means that they shot one
Working on videos nonstop. We had this edited and decided to post it because we have had a lot of questions about tree saddles. New video will be up tonight!
Finally a tree saddle video! I’m contemplating getting one!
If you want to order 1 its gonna take 6-10 weeks
Thanks for the video! Been looking at Tethered for a couple of weeks. Any way you guys can convince them to do a coupon code?
Do yourself a favor, Go Aero hunter. much much better. And wayyyyy b4 tethrd
grizzle777 with a 10 week lead time...
Tethrd is much better and lighter
@@vinnygrass7 what makes it better?
@@vinnygrass7 I kinda feel like if I was going to go the route of the Aero I would just use my old tree climbing saddle. The Tethered system seems to be a much lighter and easier system to deploy. Everyone has their preferences. I have spent many hours researching through videos and articles. Tethered seems like the way I want try.
Great video I’m looking forward to saddle hunting most of the time this year
I hope this is not a reflection of how things are going on the tour! Hope you guys are safe and hunting
Awesome tutorial guys!! Good tips and tricks for those who might be considering the saddle waters.
I guess that would be ok for some people but not for me. I just dont see myself hanging from a rope 20 plus feet above ground. Also add complexity of hooking all these lines up in the dark. Then if it's cold and wearing bulky clothes. Naw I will stick to climbing stand.
So you don’t wear a harness ?
@@MyEmily23 Of course I do. I know where u wanting go with your question. I dont even know of anyone using these around here. North Mississippi
Ronnie Hallmark it’s way safer than a climbing stand that’s for sure
@@ronniehallmark1278 I use one I'm from north Mississippi and I love mine
@@melvinsacromentoe I dont think theres a safer setup than my climber, attached to the tree with a safety line all the way up and down of course
I’ve been saddle hunting for quite a while. There are some huge benefits. One thing not mentioned here is that the tree is always hiding you from the coming deer. I use 2 sticks at the hunting height so I can slide around and hide from the deer no matter the direction. These movements can be done so quiet it’s crazy. I would recommend the JX3 if you are worried about all day comfort. You can nap in that thing
I’m so impressed with this!
I agree, as a tree climber myself it is obvious these guys don't know shit about climbing. They have a very most basic understanding about techniques but their information is solid enough. Not any sort of super elite technique but the kind of information that could probably get anyone into a tree without killing themselves.
Awesome video guys. I felt bad for asking what the brand was bc I couldn't figure out what it was but clearly y'all have been bombarded with questions on this system. Look forward to the 2nd clip thanks for the info guys and keep living " the dream" literally.
The DIY guys already have 2 bucks on the ground in ND! You guys better get into the game!
They prob already did they are a business they want max views..they want to keep us wanting more...I guarantee they already got a bruiser. Be patient they'll show it eventually... meanwhile enjoy the content
Damn son get your ass back over to DIY channel before you miss something!
@@dublelung1 I follow diy as well
@Non Typical Used a saddle
Very good video. I can appreciate the advantage of "the spin and lock in" move to get that shot which would normally be really tough from the weak side. Tougher to do from my Lone Wolf Alpha 2....especially if at an uncomfortably high shooting position.
Haven't you guys been hunting everyday? Why a video every 3 days? We want to see hunting!
Your an idiot stop trolling
After watching >50
3,000? You could have this whole set up for the three of you for 1500. I think it’s like 450 if you get the entire set up with the platform. Say 600 each if you throw in climbing sticks in you’re at 1800.
Awesome to finally see these selling in local outdoors stores. $350 base + essential accessories will keep 90% of ppl from trying them though. Seems a bit excessive for what these things are imo
It's a good price. That's super cheap for saddle hunting.
@@JohnDoe-xq8sk "Good price" is a relative term. Youll be around $400 for a comfortable setup....Good for the current saddle market? Debatable. "Good" considering the entire setup consists of about $40-$50 worth of materials? Not in my opinion.
@@NbMW81 then buy the materials and build it yourself. If you wait till black friday even better. That's what I did. Where there's a will theres a way. The Eberhart saddle is unbeatable for price.
@@JohnDoe-xq8sk I did build one, but not everyone has the skill and/or time to do so. My only point was that the greedy pricing by saddle manufacturers keeps prob 90% of people out of them who would otherwise like to give them a try
@@NbMW81 I don't have the spending money for one but I made it work because I made sacrifices. I don't mind the price and it's not a bad thing that it keeps people away. Any nice hang on stand with sticks ect is still going to run a pretty penny but you have the option to buy a cheap one. Supply and demand. Now gas is too expensive and cell phone service, internet. I really don't see the price being bad when all saddle companies tend to have week long back orders ect every fall.
Nice article in Game and Fish Midwest you guys did a good job making it in the magazine
Ya how about a few deer tour videos. I'm like a crack addict who needs a fix, the suspense is killing me!
Working on videos nonstop. We had this edited and decided to post it because we have had a lot of questions about tree saddles. New video will be up tonight!
Just ordered my Tethrd Friday! Can’t wait.
This is a really cool piece of gear but i think it should be alot more affordable!! It's just way too exspensive
I agree way expensive, and quality same as a drop away , whisker bisq can still do job yeah
No more expensive then a quality mobile tree stand setup. I am not traditionally a mobile setup guy. I tend to have multiple preying stands on private land, however, they wear out and need replacing which can cost hundreds every several years. Just switched to the saddle and it now replaces all of those tree stands.
Yes it is more pricy but u buy this and u will never have to buy another stand again
Cut that pony tail off lol
Trophyline is the least expensive for a tight budget. Comes with a Web bridge, if you want a rope bridge it is a mod you can do.
I'm not a fan of heights myself but this looks very convenient for going in getting a good tree going straight up and hunting
Duuuudes. Episode 3 come onnnnnnnnnn
Thanks for the video. Been looking at Tethered for last couple days. This vid was just what i needed. I'll be getting mine ordered for the 2020 season. One of the reasons you guys are my fav channel on TH-cam. Happy hunting.
When is Part 2 coming out?
I used to climb trees in a tree service and and the "Bridge" type scenario would be a cable. For us big guys cables would be safer
I would just never see my self wearing all the straps and stuff seems like a big mess
Seriously your loss. Try it... it really is way better.. lighter, more comfortable, more versatile
I can't see myself going back to a climber or lok on.....
Versus having a full harness in a normal stand? It's way less crap hanging off you.
Justin Stauffer I don’t have a harness
@@minkmink410 Well there is your first mistake not wearing some type of harness.
If you get a micro pully your capture hitch will work just as the mechanical devices and you have less to worry about breaking because it's all rope and you can inspect them every time you climb
This video is a month too late! We want hunting videos! Give the people what they want!
Too much redbull?
Shut up
Why don't you make one instead of demanding other people to entertain you
Think of it as 11 months early. Lots of time to practice for next year. Plus, you want hunting videos, I'm very happy watching this stuff.
I got my Tethrd Mantis ordered last week. Literally cannot wait for it to get here!!! Really hoping it shows before the rut!
I don't see how this could be any easier then a climber my summit I have it set up to were when I get to the tree I undo a rope put the cables around the tree an climb few minutes I'm set up an ready an it's light to carry
As a line man, I was wondering if you ever looked at the buck squeeze style belt. It chokes the pole. Now I have to figure how to climb with out hooks.😄
You want to climb without hooks? I got you watch this th-cam.com/video/gwRQDcez63Y/w-d-xo.html
Those tress in the background, I can use a lock-on and be way less visible
Amazing videos! I just spent $1300 on a full Tethrd setup. I have never been in a tree before in any way.
Show him going up a tree?? Not 3ft off the ground this didn't show anything
Mikhail Kimbel
IMO it showed a lot. But I do agree getting up the tree is the biggest question with this style.
Going up the tree is the same process as anything other than a self climb you have a lineman’s belt use it appropriately. The set up once your there is the only thing that changes
Everyone chill they made this from previous questions and bc they are going to be using this a lot, the season just started give them a second it takes a lot to shoot out videos and hunt at the same time!
Any info on diy predator pack straps
Great video! I have switched to saddle hunting this year and I am chomping at the bit to be in the tree next week here in Missouri! Super excited to get that first opportunity at a deer out of the saddle!
When is the pack and that tree strap going to be for sale on their site?
rich allbritten they said it should be launched this week.
It’s up on the site now
@@johnkastner9224 already ordered this afternoon. Both are gonna come in handy. Hope to get them before next weekend.
Excellent info. Got my saddle and ready to go
At $500+ for the system, that is crazy expensive!
$500 once. It's $500 dollars for one system that you can set up and use on hunt day from any tree you'd be able to put a stand in. Stands get bulky. You usually have to pack them in and set them up before hunt day and even if you can pack them in day of they're too much of a pain in the ass to move to change your mind. If you hunt public land and you have to leave them up they're a liability. They can get stolen, lost, and you have to remove them and set them up every season.
I'd much rather pay $500 for this one system then pay even $100 each for even 2 or 3 regular stands. The extra $$$ is paying for the luxury of having a truly portable hunting platform that works in literally any tree you could hunt and better in trees that a regular stand would be a pain in the ass to set up or even impossible.
My understanding is you don't want to overhunt a stand. If you never get in the habit of setting up complicated stands and blinds you're not beholden to use locations that may not be your best spot on hunt day.
I can totally see where having a very portable system like this would be a HUGE advantage by allowing you to change plans with the season as needed rather than to spend a crapload of time setting up a stand you're forced to use in conditions that don't make it a good spot.
Last way to look at it, how much did you spend on your bow and what's you're average killshot distance with it? If you're in a wooded area probably 20-30 yards or less unless you're just bragging. Anyway, most archery classes say 40 yards and no further. Do you know how many bows you can find that cost less than $500 that will shoot accurately at 30 yards? The answer is LOTS and LOTS of bows will shoot that well for $250 but I bet you spent extra $$ to feel confident that you could make those shots.
Well... This is a stand that costs more but will allow you to get where you need to be. No excuses, you can get there. All that money spent on that bow is going to shooting foam in the backyard unless you can get to where you need to be. So flipped another way, I'd buy a shitty used bow that can get me to 30 yards and spend the extra $$$ on a stand that will give me a target rather than spend big bucks on my bow to feel nice but on hunt day get stuck in a terrible location where I don't see diddily.
$500 for a full set up ready to go? I'll buy it all week long.
If you set up on the cheap, add your costs season to season, piece by piece. It will be more.

FYI, a setup is not $500
Yeah honestly you could just get a rock climbing harness grappling hook and save yourself like 400$
Love it. Went Tethrd/Wild Edge last year and I just don’t think you can beat it.
I"m a new climber and have harnesses, carabiners, ropes, descenders etc. I'm thinking seriously of getting the Wild Country Ascender (like my other Wild Country stuff) and the Tethrd XL stand, with the Tethrd Back Rest strap...and doing my own and saving $$$$$$.
I only use 4 Wei Stepps. I'm only climbing with one.
Just stumbled upon this saddle and I think I'll be making my wife mad cause I'm buying one
