Think your right i am on land where i just hang a stand and leave it but sometimes i would like to do different trees but not a fan of the work of hanging stands regardless might take me hr to hang the stuff but then it stays there but i could be on board with saddle when i wanna mkce around from time to time

[@jhoffman81]

Perfect use, I still love pre hung stands by a long shot but bouncing around a little the saddle is so compact and mobile it's unmatched.

I’ve listened to one of the best public land hunters (he’s a big dude) talk about concealment in a saddle and his take is that he thinks deer see people in a saddle as nothing more than another branch hanging off of a tree. Which, if you’re still, I can see what he’s talking about vs sitting in a lock on stand and an unnatural shape up against a tree.

It definitely has some merit. My biggest issue with a saddle is once it gets stupid cold. I've definitely gotten away with way more in a saddle than a tree stand. Allows me to get in some crazy places. Only coyote I've ever killed with a bow is from a saddle.

What is the diameter of the bridge?

[@jhoffman81]

9mm

[@coleh1235]

is that the medium or the xl?

[@jhoffman81]

That's the "medium" or standard as they once called it. It only comes in two sizes, this is the smaller of the two.
