Is shooting from a saddle easier than a treestand?

- In this video I'm going over how to shoot from a hunting saddle. It doesn't matter if you're using a Trophyline Tree Saddle, and Aerohunter Evolution, and Aero Hunter Kestrel, a Guidos web, or any other type of saddle. The shots are all performed the same way.
Keep in mind I'm exaggerating my movements for the camera. In a hunting scenario, it's very easy to position yourself for the shot.
I go over the Top Shot, the Drop Shot, The Strong Side, and the Weak Side shot. #saddlehunter #saddlehunting #TethrdNation #getoutdoors

I had the opportunity to try a saddle for the first time this past Saturday at a Tethrd Teach-N-Train. I have to say that, as a "bigger guy" (6' 4" 260-280lbs), it was a LOT easier than I thought it would be! I felt perfectly secure & stable at "hunting height". It took me a bit to figure out the shot while up there because I did not set up the platform. I had to go with how they set it up. No big deal, I just may have done it a little differently. I was able to try on ALL of the saddle Tethrd offers & found the one that works for me the best. My wife was even able to find one that worked for her also! Now to purchase & hope they will be in stock some time soon.
Looking forward to this new style. I am getting geared up and ready to practice a few months before this season. I have watched several of your videos and they are very informative. Thanks for taking the time to go through this topic. I am ready to be mobile, aggressive, and get after them!! Thanks!! DW Gear: Beast Gear Sticks, Tethrd Phantom, Amsteel daisy chain straps, Ropeman Ascenders, Predator Platform, and one step aiders for each section.
Ordered mine this week cant wait to try it out.
A buddy from TN, Jerry Grose, sent me one of his saddles and some modified Hawk Heliums. I may be the only saddle hunter up here in the PNW come September. I'm trying to climb daily. I gotta work on that weak side shot for sure. Good stuff!
thanks for making all these vids its helped heaps and i must say im kinda hooked now.
New sub here, thanks for sharing, looks like an interesting way to hunt, especially for those long hikes back to a good area. Thanks again for sharing and have a blessed week.
Also you can shoot straight down under your stand by moving your one foot up the tree and leaning over towards the ground, it has worked for me a few times.
LOL! I like you man...made me laugh. Love the DIY Sportsman "plug". : )))
If you don't feel like packing the platform, how good would it wok using the top of your last stick to put your feet using the saddle? I honestly thought of putting one wild edge step on the left and right of my last stick
Great video. Very helpful for beginners. I can never find trees which are straight. Always some lean of varying degrees. I keep hoping someone will actually show how to saddle hunt out of these real world trees. It severely affects your effective shooting arc, stability and comfort. It would be great if you could honestly address those challenges
Great educational video Greg!
Need to play with my sit and drag one more. Tried a few times in the yard and decided I defiantly wasn't going to use it last season. That weak side shot is one big killer of this system for me. With my hang on or climber I can get a shot off any where the deer comes out pretty easy where wit hteh sit and drag one it jsut feels awkward. Have several months to mess with it, will see.
didn't see the link you mentioned about beginners in saddles
You are sneaky!
Not sold yet and I will wait till prices drop. $500 is a lot to drop for the saddle system.
Good info
Good info. Do they make saddled for us big boys?
Guess I'm one of those lucky few. I can shoot my bow one handed. So shooting out the back is easy. I own a hickory creek. Going to start saddle hunting soon. Getting gear together. 8-12 weeks for my wild edge...bummer
I’m thinking about going to a saddle this year. On the weak shot, wouldn’t it be easier to position yourself like in the top shot instead of shuffling and rotating counterclockwise? It seems like it would be less movement to simply turn to the right and shoot.
