Novix Raider // Tree Stand // Hang On // Saddle Hunting // Saddle Platform

[@AustinYost]

What are your favorite xop lock ons and sticks?

[@CliftonDenneyOnYourOwnOutdoors]

@@AustinYost the cold world and the X2 sticks probably! I run the retrograde which is my favorite however it’s small for a lot of folks liking

[@PoppyRedLeaf]

It has a 1” seat post. Adapt whatever you choose onto that.

[@tray22]

seems like it is pretty heavy for a hybrid now that some are sub 6lbs and full hang on stands are at the weight of this thing.

[@bryanmoring4298]

It looks like you could almost sit on that seat facing the tree with how narrow it is.

[@jivarie]

a lot of hybrid setups are made to do this.

[@jrawhite8969]

That’s exactly what it’s for probably, sometimes the saddle can get tiring or pinch points while sitting in a saddle

[@bowhunter8164]

I'm pretty sure that is the intended purpose of the seat. Not to turn around n sit down like he does

[@chuckcapps7325]

I like the look of the new true hang on - the Raider. I wonder how it compares to the XOP Air Raid and Ion. I think you have made a video on those in the past? I know the Raider is welded verses the 2 XOP's that are cast aluminum. Just interested since Novix made a more affordable light but "roomy" hang on that you can get the mesh style seat option that seems to be a little more comfortable than a standard pad at least to me.

@@chuckcapps7325 I’m going to have to check those out!

[@frankgenovese4856]

they’re selling it as a hybrid , but that seat is terrible for kneeling

[@C.Adams82]

This or the retrograde? The specs say its two in wider than the retrograde but when you were on it the retrograde looks like it has more room. I love the retrograde, i use as a tree stand, there's nothing more mobile than the retrograde

[@CliftonDenneyOnYourOwnOutdoors]

@@C.Adams82 retrograde hands down

[@matthewmcnulty698]

I think. They could have modified the seat from the echo and. Did. That

[@wecatchfish9531]

Complain about it being heavy but want a bigger seat and more padding. That's gonna add weight 😅

[@michaelbushey2787]

If that seat was wider. It would the perfect mobile stand. / platform.i like it. But i wouldnt buy it myslef. Since im not much of a mobile hunter. I run the millenium monster 150. Its the best stand for me.

[@din75cschmoo]

Anybody who has saddle hunted wouldn’t touch this gimmick 😅

[@mathewluna3361]

Gotta stop watching your vids...you make me want to spend money...🤣😂🤣😂🤣 Good review. Looks like a good option for both saddle and lock on. The other option I'm suprised you didn't touch on was, using for sadle, can use that seat in front of you to sit on too not just as a knee rest. All in all, good review. Love watching your reviews and vids. Seasons just around the corner.

[@CliftonDenneyOnYourOwnOutdoors]

@@mathewluna3361 hahah right! Thanks for watching buddy!

[@ericcarroll8168]

Think my fat tail and that seat definitely wouldn’t get along.

[@Gaining_Elevation]

I think Novix totally missed the mark with this thing.

[@CliftonDenneyOnYourOwnOutdoors]

@@Gaining_Elevation it’s a solid start but needs some work in my opinion!

[@EricBynog-zd4rd]

@@CliftonDenneyOnYourOwnOutdoorshey do you

[@EricBynog-zd4rd]

Hey do you have a XOP XL you want get rid of I need a sit and climb and waited til this year for the new one but seems like they are not going do it this year also the LWCG crossover seems like it is going to be to small for me plus I am over 250 just 25 pounds but I still think it’s not going be big enough that is why I was so happy XOP was going to do one that folded up like crossover but had 350 rating and little bigger I am telling you if LWCG had made a XL at same time they would have knock it out park but I am hearing now they are not going to do there XL let me know

[@CliftonDenneyOnYourOwnOutdoors]

@@EricBynog-zd4rd xop will have a climber out in October

[@aotec89]

Where’s your saddle lol

[@XngGen]

That seat look ugly no offense
