Saw your first review was excellent and this one was as good!!! I’m still deciding but your videos are very helpful. I subscribed. Looking forward to the next video. They really helping making my decision.
Just got mine! Your videos helped with the final decision. Thanks! Set up question: I am new to saddle hunting. Coming from 15+ years in a Summit climber. One of the benefits, as I understand it, is the ability to use the tree as cover. If I anticipate deer coming in the direction of my easy shot (10 o'clock in your video), am I climbing and hanging as you are in the video? Or do I have the pole in between me and the target (10 o'clock) and then rotating for the shot? Hope the question makes sense. Thanks ahead of time for your reply.
I think you could experiment with both and if you feel like you need less movement, then come out from behind the tree a little more. I think whatever you get comfortable with is best.
New sub here! Great info clear and concise! Been saddle hunting about four yrs and started one sticking last season. Really want a jx3 but wonder if will work with my one stick method.
Yes, I’m getting old and weigh 250lbs and have bad asthma. I only one stick with my JX3. It takes a few times practicing to get it down but then it is easy and fairly fast !
I just switched to a hybrid system where I one stick up and rappel down but hunt out of a lightweight hang on. I just find myself moving around too much when I hunted out of a saddle. I find I can be more still in the sitting position in the hang on. So my question for you is can you sit still in the jx3 ? Or is it like a saddle where you are kind of floating around when leaning?
Once you get positioned in the JX3 Hybrid , you just sit there. You have the ability to move, but essentially all of your weight is on the tree, fork and it you just relax. If you are a fidgety person, then I still think with all scenarios that you have to be intentional about not moving.
Can you do a video on how easy/hard it is getting down using the JX3. I’m still saving up for this saddle and before I make the commitment/justification to my wife on the price I need to have all my ducks in row.
@@platinumpursuitoutdoors Honestly, I’m new to saddle hunting, like brand new. I’m hoping this will be my first one. I’ve done so much research on saddles and how to get up a tree however, with the excitement of it all I forgot about the getting down part.
My daughter likes shooting her crossbow out of it. I feel this provides great support for gun hunters and crossbow hunter via the side straps and the bridge as a resting post.
Awesome video - thanks! I had not really heard of this saddle before, so I appreciate the video on it. I bought a Transformer saddle at the end of last season and was curious how this compares.
Ordered mine Friday after your review! Coming tomorrow can’t wait! Thank You for all the great reviews!
Nice when you get it if you have any questions, let me know. Were you able to use the code?
@@platinumpursuitoutdoors when I went through the ordering process I couldn’t find the place to put the code into.
I gotcha no worries! Let me know if you have any questions!

Hey, thanks for the feedback. Is there anything you want to know in particular?

that is an absolutely perfect explanation! Many Thanks
Yeppers!
Great review thanks for showing this awesome product
Thx!

You can one stick climb with it for sure, but it takes some getting use to.
Yes,

Just put a video out on that 😁
What stick/steps would you recommend for this system to get 25' off the ground?
JX3 offers sticks but I have run the Tethrd One sticks with a Backwoods Mobile gear aider
What about noise when transitioning from seated to leaning position? From the stand itself or stand against clothing noise?
I didn’t notice any. If your clothes are prone to noise I suppose there could be some.
The JX3 is the best stand I've ever used in the past 50 years...
Nice!
Don’t forget you can take off the shoulder straps when your at hunting height and get way more mobility
Yeppers! I covered that in the first video. It frees you up nicely! Good luck to you!
Wouldnt it make sense to just use a Summit Climber VS the JX3??? The weight would be about the same.
No because climbers are super limited by straight trees without limbs whereas the jx3 can be used in a wider range of climbing scenarios.
I just switched to a hybrid system where I one stick up and rappel down but hunt out of a lightweight hang on. I just find myself moving around too much when I hunted out of a saddle.

How does it perform in leaning trees? Does it constantly want to pull to the “downhill” side?
I don’t think it is much different from any other sling saddle. I think gravity pulls them all the same.
Can you do a video on how easy/hard it is getting down using the JX3. I’m still saving up for this saddle and before I make the commitment/justification to my wife on the price I need to have all my ducks in row.
Yeppers… what is your method climbing down? For me personally I ALWAYS rappel and rappelling is a breeze with this saddle!

I would rappel if it were me. You’re always attached and it is super easy.
How do u think this awesome saddle would work for crossbow hunting with a ravin r 26
My daughter shoots out of it with her crossbow. The side strap gives stability to rest on.
Yes absolutely this hybrid shines with a crossbow or gun
I destroyed my shoulder a few years back I stared using a crossbow. What’s your thought on using this saddle with one?

Hey your welcome! I have never used the transformer but have heard good things about it.
I have a lightly used one for sale, if anyone is interested.

I'm interested. How do I contact you?
All this navigating the tree is as long as the tree is navigatable, limbs could prevent this.
You’re absolutely right. Pick the tree carefully. There are some more advanced tip I hip to put out soon. Picking a smaller diameter tree is helpful.
what a great gag gift to get your hunter friends!! lol this thing is hysterical!!!!!!
Lol tell us how you really feel! Lol
