“If you don’t agree with me, sweet.” Love that line haha

The buck I shot from my saddle last season came in right behind the tree and I shot him at the 1o'clock position by taking my bow over the tether and resting my left hip against the tree it really helped anchor and keep me steady. Greg has lots of good videos on different ways to shoot from the saddle.

I use the new hawk 20” sticks and a carry as you go one step aider and can get platform 20 feet no problem. Love the phantom and the access it gives you to hunt new areas and trees you couldn’t otherwise do with a tree stand.

Was just watching the 100 yard vs crossbow we might need an updated vid lol

Your sling reminds me of an Anderson tree sling i used back in the 70's . Always loved them. I think the Anderson came out before compound bows. Lol

I’ve been waiting for this video to drop. Great job Chris.

Who else thinks he needs some more subs? Most fire editing on KZfaq!

As a young KZfaqr I just want to say that your camera work and editing is phenomenal and I hope to be as good as you some day

I find shooting from a saddle is easier then shooting while sitting in a tree stand. I don't think I have ever shot while sitting in my saddle as I prefer to stand vice sit. I did notice you keep your tether much lower than I do.

Anyone else like the vid and comment at the beginning of the video because you know it’s going to be a good vid. Really enjoying the vids, keep up the hard work Chris!

Great video.... I just ordered my saddle. Tethrd has a sale going on this week!

If you set your top stick level with your platform it makes moving around the tree easy. But I also use sticks with double steps.

The anchor point is super critical & needs practice with all these different body positions. When I 1st started with the saddle I found through target practice that the last 1" of my draw was very tough if my tether point to the tree was up too high. Shooting from the sitting position has been my goal in any tree setup. After trial & error I also found that changing my letoff so my draw length was 30" instead of 30 1/4" had a double benefit & a crisper shot when the adrenaline is flowing in a real situation. If u r an athletic person the comfort & versatility of a saddle is a no brainer when it comes to becoming a better hunter & opens up a world of opportunities. That is due to being able to go farther with less baggage. Once u get past the learning curve the process is optimum.

Going to pick up my equipment tomorrow. Been getting deep into public land and this year I’m just fed up with the climber. Thanks for the info Chris. Oh and “that’s just my sight” ain’t that the most classic line 🤣

Please do a setup video. I’d like to see how you carry into woods along with setting up to final position

Love your vids o my gosh they are a huge reason I love archery

I'm gonna run one of these this year they look comfortable

This is amazing! Loving it.

Problem with a adjustable bridge is look @13:00, If he turned anymore the carabiner will hit the top of the friction hitch and cause it to slide down the bridge and give you a nice little scare!

Let’s get it chris! Best videos on KZfaq

I always put in a screw in opposite the platform. Gives some footing to get around the tree

Great video...One additional thing is you need to learn to utilize your platform more. You are able to push off the platform more for those different angle shots. The predator has those two outer points on either side on the front of the platform. You would have used your right foot to push off that point for that last trick shot you did. It makes getting around to the backside of the tree a lot easier.

Hey Chris, I love your content! But I have a question that I can’t seem to get answered. How do you properly size the saddle to you? Would you size it just wearing jeans or would you put on a slightly thicker warming bottom and then size it that way? Thanks and keep up the good work!!

Yess excited for this one

I wanna get into saddle hunting and love these videos I shot a deer last year sort of burning the tree with my climbing stand and it was difficult but I made a great shot but would have been so much easier with a saddle

very cool how much mobility you have and can still be very stable.

Fun video, and informative!

Love the vids man

Great info. I wonder why people don't take advantage of a ring of steps in conjunction with a platform on the same plane. It opens up so many more possibilities and you can literally move 360 around the tree.

will you make a vid about how to ame out of a tree stand some articals say you have to ame low wat is your apinion???

One of the best man!!!!!!

Very informative, good video dude

Love your videos Chris just curious, when you draw what are you looking up at on your bow?

Can you make a video of tips for shooting back tension with the hinge?? 😬plz

Chris, I use a peep, a kisser button, the center of my nose, an anchor point on my face and a sight. My question is if I use all of the points to anchor when I am in the saddle, am I still in my form? I would think so. I think everything needs to be aligned in order to acquire the target. I don't typically let my body fall out of stable as you described happening when drawing at the horizon. What are your thoughts or do you any other pointers for archery form in the saddle?

This has given me a new project! To make a system like this with my arborist saddle. Thanks for the video

I place my top stick 90degrees to the left of the platform to stand on in the event of a tricky behind the tree shot.

Love saddles

hello chris bee, Have you tried moving targets in vacillating places?

Is a saddle like a safety harness you wear in a ladder stand? I never heard of a saddle

Very new to archery/ and bow hunting. The anchor noise? What causes that click? Is it the arrow rest? I use a whisker biscuit for right now.

Awesome video man! I would probably set mine at 12ft😂😂

Hey chris , off the topic ? I had target panic like nobody's business with an index finger release. I bought the ultraview hinge and will never look back. Its absolutely the best release I've shot. I have the hunting bracket also. Any disadvantages I will live with for the trade off of the perfect shot vs. all out target panic !! I grew up shooting fingers my first 20 years. The hinge saved archery for me !! Do you hunt with your hinge all the time ?

You pull the wrap off the truck or am I missing something?

Do you think saddles will get more affordable as time goes on? I'm very interested in saddle hunting but I'd rather put money into my bow until they get more reasonably priced.

Chris this video helped me out trumendously! First time saddle hunter actually have the phantom as well and ordered a platform yesterday I been using a tree stand seat for now but I was having the problem on how to shoot in a saddle and of course no videos on it tell now! Thank you. Also live in Michigan. Manistee county

Don't mean to seem obvious if I missed something, but did you take off the truck wrap?

Great Video!

You make it look easy! Being a west coaster most of my hunting is spot and stalk. This will be my third year hunting Kansas so I'm pretty new to hunting out of a tree. I'm going to check out TETHRD!

Yesssss sirrrrrr!

What saddle are you using.. And is there a suggested weight limit!! Im 6'3 275lbs

Hey Chris, What kind of bed rack/storage is that? Sorry for the random question that has nothing to do with your video...

What sight are you using?

Hey buddy good video, why do you look at your top cam at full draw?

My stand shots are very consistent but a foot off to the left than from the ground! Should I just move my pin since I'm very consistent? Who cares about the ground anyway right?

Do you like the up rising pse

Would love a whole set up video

Thanks from another old guy...building a system that fits your liking and not buy into what others say are best(may not be for.you). Customize it to what works for YOU...thanks keep it.simple safe

what is your draw length?

What target is the red block?

What topper do you have?

For some reason I think this video is gonna get a lot of views!!

What are you using to hang your bow from? It’s difficult to see in the video.

What’s the click on the release?

Hey Chris, two things... What are you using to mic yourself on this setup? Sounds great. Also, I wondered how you planned on self fliming with the saddle setup. Maybe another video? Thanks man.

Do you still wear a safety harness when wearing the saddle?

Plz make a vid on that black out scope

Where can I find that black round target you 1st pulled out of the truck??

You should do one with squirrel steps. I like the squirrel steps better than the platform I can move more around the tree

Make some Amsteel 7/64 daisy chain for your sticks. Super light and quiet.!!

So with this system do you not need a safety harness?

Hey Chris I’m the boy that got my picture with you and you signed my bow tech hat can you please reply

shouldn't the bow be sighted in correctly from the ground, then shot using your technique from a saddle to see what's happening? It looks like you've taken a sighted in bow, then missed using your technique? What does this prove?

Hey Chris what's that carabiner you use to hang your bow on? Thanks loved the vid!

At the London ASA shoot

When you are drawing back why do you always look at the top cam?

Dang Chris making bank

@3:39 - wait, I'm from MI... Did I miss something? I've been made twice on target deer that saw me, for real you have to be either fully concealed or have plenty of competing trees. Is it widely known that MI Whitetails are expert spotters? (I'm also brand new to archery, gun and tree stand guy for 2Y)

What hook hanger is your bow on in this?

Is that your 28 or 31.5?

You should go hunt exotics with your bow

This isnt an instructional video ... so im just gonna do it but that video would be awesome 😎 no bs straight to the point of the video thanks for teaching us and not over complicate things and leaving out random bs about what you ate last night like others cant do

I know you are a great target shooter. Why not a reg pin sight vs adjustable? Thx for video. I bought your black wool straight bill cap, Be Real...

Ayyyo Chris, what part of the mitten are you from?

😍😍

If you don’t agree.... then sweeet. 🤣. Hard laughed at that.

Your straddle buckles are backwards, the way you did it is how I thought it was supposed to go. But a guy from tethrd at the Dixie deer classic showed me the right way.

Not to be rude or a troll or anything but the hooks on the leg straps are supposed to go thru the loops from the top with the point of the hook pointing down

Does that clicker not spuke the deer?

Could your admin team please reply to an email I sent regarding Merch that never showed up? Very disappointing service! I ordered in March - still haven’t received anything, or any communication from your side.

Instead of shooting straight down I just pounce like a lemur, way easier.

hello

Yo

Hi

Chrisbizzle

Fourth 😂

I get bullied for doing youtube can you please give me some tips. God Bless

Nothing like a 400 degree turn...

I find it kind of ironic that you’re saying that horizon drawing and bending at the waist is wrong & then proceed to shoot just about every shot low because you’ve basically broken form and are dropping your bow arm.
