I've been wanting to upgrade the bridge to my Venatic I bought last year, so this was an obvious logical choice.
I watched the Man Over Beast YouTube video and eliminated the carabineer so the bridge is tied in "permanently".
Still patiently waiting on the Hyperlite gear to drop so I can make another order and run up some more Mobile Venatic Rewards points.
Nick Betts and the team are clearly listening to their customers by innovating their gear. Great job Trophyline!
This tote is a high quality minimalistic tote! Lightweight collapsible and durable. Fits all of my saddle hunting gear and still have some room. I was worried it might be a little small but it was just the right size! Not too big and not too small and quieter than a plastic or polymer tote! This will be in my truck this season to keep all of my gear in.
I've got big feet, I like all day sits, and wanted something I could stand on.
I also like the width of the "mouth." Seems to bite a good variety of tree diameters.
So far, I'm also liking the edges and grooves. It offers plenty of footing positions.
It may be on the "heavy" side for a platform, but compared to a 12lb lock on, I'll take it.
Awesome tshirt, now everyone know I'm a gosh dern saddle hunter
If you have saddle hunter withoutbw good quiet set of knee pads you are missing out at the comfort and configuration this can add
Onyx platform is excellent size and weight for comfort and packability. Got this one for the angled edges on 3 sides. Compares with similar feature to CruzR Seeker, but all also on the sides too. Additionally has the top step for “cam locking” in the platform which is a big advantage over others that don’t include. The one thing I don’t care for is any stand/platform that is bare aluminum which I feel becomes obvious in the woods. Easy enough to do a rattle-can camo treatment. Feature rich for a rock solid, versatile and comfortable platform.
hunting season is not here yet I'm practicing with them great product looking to use them in the field
Nothing too complicated or technical about this thing, but it does exactly what I wanted, gets me a few extra inches on that first stick!
My buddy has this platform and let me use it and I just ordered mine last week!
I’m a first time saddle hunter and this setup is perfect!
These are extremely comfortable and helpful for their amazing price. Just as good as any other pair you can buy for an extremely affordable price.
This is an extremely helpful tool and I recommend it to any and all saddle hunters out there.
The Platow pack is light and has a small profile but has more than enough room to carry everything I need all season long
I have not used yet this is my first year saddle hunting still using to try on trees
This saddle is very comfortable with the wide design, it covers the upper part of your legs to your lower back. Lots of attachment options with the molle loops. Lineman and tether loops are more stiff and sturdy so there not flopping around. The bridge is excellent, especially being able to open it all the way with the carabiner. It's a very durable material yet very soft and quite, also very warm, good for those cold mornings. It is a little on the heavier side but that feels like quality to me. All in all one of the best saddle I've ever tried.
If you don’t like wearing heavy or bulky glove during the cold months this is your answer! Keeps my hands warm so I wouldn’t have to wear heavy gloves while using bow release!
Best upgrade for your tether and lineman’s rope! One hand operation lightweight and durable!
Great kit! comes with everything you need to get you Started! If you can put up with a couple extra pounds for the extra comfort for all day sits this if for you! Great quality and awesome customer service
Absolutely love my saddle. I ordered it back in November and ordered an xl thinking that was the size for me. I tried it on a few times but never tried it in a tree yet til may of this year and realized I should’ve ordered the m/l size. I didn’t think they exchange it where it’s been like 6 months but I tried anyway doing the chat support. After I sent them some pics of the saddle showing it hadn’t been used any they agreed to exchange it out for me at no cost. I couldn’t be happier with the company and my saddle. If anyone’s thinking of getting into saddle hunting. Trophlyine is the way to go
I’m a smaller guy- 5’7 and 155lb. After tightening the legs and belt, there’s no play in the saddle itself. It sits and fits well- however- once it’s time to head out of the tree I’ve noticed the belt clips give way and loosen so that by the time I get off the tree the saddle is falling to the ground. I would definitely recommend and prefer a buckle style belt that can be tightened and stay tightened.
Good sticks. The stationaries had a little swivel to them on the backside and made locking to the tree a little difficult, but a little tightening and we’re good to go.
