Saddle versus Millenium M7

[Crawford15]

Buy a saddle you won’t regret it. I have that and a long wolf sit and climb for different areas

I’ve tried them all. I’ve been a “mobile” deer hunter before it was cool, hunting strictly public for nearly a decade.

5’11 195# Size 12 boot hunting mainly GA

My Beast stand has been bar none, my favorite treestand ever. Weights 7# and bites into trees like no other treestand I’ve used.

The 6-10# treestands with ultra lightweight sticks (think 1-1.5# per stick) with climbing aiders will typically weight 9-14# fully setup and get you 18-25’ off the ground.

I’ve tried the Sit Drag DIY Saddle, Tethrd, H2... with various platforms. I found my knees and feet couldn’t handle it. I’d constantly move side to side to keep my legs from going numb. I’d get busted more in a saddle than a treestand. Trying to shoot a bow in a saddle, especially off your weak side is extremely challenging and MUST be practiced.

Overall I feel that saddle hunting, like extremely heavy arrows, are just a temporary fad.
The ultra lightweight hang ons and climbers provide a better experience all around than any saddle setup I’ve ever tried.

I hope this helps.

Temporary fad, thats a good one. Did you take out a small business loan to get all the beast stuff? Did it come with a pic of don too? lol

Just go with the retrograde. Don’t look back. I haven’t.

picked up a cold world, and I must have got the last one in stock, cause now they are out of stock
