How to Shoot a Bow from a Hunting Saddle

After 5 years of saddle hunting, here's the information I've gathered from my experiences! In this video I'll discuss how to set up and shoot your bow for the strong side shot, the weak side shot, and what to expect with everything in between. Learning how to saddle hunt takes practice!

[@robertchamberlain452]

Thanks for sharing, great info on all the right positions and set up for the saddle. I watched to learn to help pass on the info to any family or friends who might want to try this style of hunting.

Same thing I do with my LW hand climber seat plate form. I have 3 of them now all set up the exact same in case I have to leave some in trees.

[@fredboutz9762]

[@gagodfrey]

Great video!

[@OutdoorsAllie]

Thanks Greg 👍 I hope you're having a great season so far!!

[@Jerry0153A]

Nice Demo!

[@OutdoorsAllie]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@kurrppy]

Been considering getting a saddle to replace my heavy climber. Would be cool to get a saddle/climbing stick setup 101 with gear comparisons. I don't really know where to even start.

[@tonymau2925]

Good info!

[@OutdoorsAllie]

Glad it was helpful!

[@user-ow5ic5ux6h]

Absolutely love your videos and content, do you have one that shows how to put up the saddle setup?

[@OutdoorsAllie]

Yes, from a couple years ago!

[@fred7854]

Hey Allie, That was a great demonstration and explanation of different angles to shoot from. Best of luck the next of the hunting season. I also hope you get a bear tag as well. This year it's your turn to knock one down. Take care and be safe.

[@OutdoorsAllie]

Good luck to you as well!

Good morning from Syracuse NY everyone thank you for sharing your adventures with the compound bow when will you shoot a recurve bow hunting?

[@OutdoorsAllie]

It has been on my mind. Maybe within the next few years.

[@earlshaner4441]

Outstanding I am looking forward to seeing that adventure on video

[@bigDbigDbigD]

Love your channel. How long are you on stand b typically. Looks hard to stay out long on this stand

[@OutdoorsAllie]

Usually 4-5 hours then I'll move

[@jaytac16]

So u prefer to have your last stick at platform level as opposed basically stand sideways on the platform to expand the strong shot side view?

[@OutdoorsAllie]

Yes.

[@robmechanic]

Would you advise for or against one sticking for a new saddle hunter?

[@OutdoorsAllie]

Personal preference. I don't see the need, but I'm sure it is a reasonable and effective method.

[@NBoutdoors18]

How long does it take you to get set up once you are at the tree?

[@OutdoorsAllie]

10 ish minutes

[@TheMajortom75]

Can you saddle hunt with a rifle or is that not viable?

[@OutdoorsAllie]

Yes, absolutely. I usually don't but I know lots of people who do.

[@user-tw8ov]

If you don't mind how tall are you

[@OutdoorsAllie]

5 foot 8

[@timberg7377]

Okay, okay, now that was great information, but, the big question is, how do you pee , from the saddle? 😂 Just kidding.😜🤣😂 Thanks for sharing.

[@OutdoorsAllie]

Have to climb down...

[@timberg7377]

​@@OutdoorsAllieI was so kidding. 😂 But thanks, 😂

[@bownut6115]

Great tips!! Thanks. Was wondering what you and Nick do for Footwear…. Socks, Boots?

[@OutdoorsAllie]
