Ambush saddle

Just talk about it. The good and the bad. :D

I love mine. Can be used in any tree and is lighter than any stand, Once you get used to setting up it is very quick and quiet. I use 3 or 4 rapid rails from ameristep and 4 pegs at the top.

im gonna go out on a limb here....greatest archery invention since the bow:)

no really, it took some getting used to, and i actually didnt like mine the first time i used it, but ive since gotten used to it and absolutely love it. It opened up so many more spots for me to hunt that i couldnt put a conventional stand before. It does take some physical strength to hold steady in some positions though, so practice throughly. Soon as you get yours, go out and buy a case of treesteps off ebay. 75-100 bucks. That should get you about a dozen stand sites if you remove the last 6 or so steps from each tree and just carry them with you every time you go out. plus, it prevents the lowlifes from stealin your stuff.

Definitely an awesome piece of equipment. If you want to watch how it works check out any John Eberhart videos. Not only do you get to see how the ambush saddle works but you get to watch a very informative whitetail video! Buy it today, they are light easy to get in a tree and they are way cheaper at 150-200 bucks than buying 2-3 stand setups. Especially when stands are getting ripped off so often in Michigan.
Good Luck!

It really seems like a great product for bow season. I am really thinking about going this route too. But I can't imagine using one for firearm season. I am also worried that the freedom of movement might leave me moving too much in the saddle. I think that might take some extra mental toughness. Just my thought on the matter.

Great piece of equipment overall. You might want to check into some knee pads for those long sits if you decide on getting a saddle. You also might notice that you'll eventually be hunting higher in the tree than you usually did so shot angles take a little adjusting.
I always had a hard time sitting in a tree stand from morning until noon, but ever since I used the saddle it made it a lot easier to sit until noon. Probably the most comfortable thing to hunt from in a tree (You can't count box blinds, they're for sissys ;))

I am still playing around with mine but I am convinced this will change the way I hunt. If it is good enough for Chris Eberhart it will work for me.

I have had mine for 2 years now and it is great!! One problem is that I find it difficult to shoot out of with a longer bow it takes practice but other then that great piece of equipment....

I like mine and use it for hunting certain spots, but I still wouldn't choose it over a climber if the tree would let me use it.
I bought 4 lone wolf sticks to use with saddle. That way I can use the set up on state ground, too. The knee pads wouldn't be a bad idea, either.

I've had mine for 3 years and I prefer to hunt out of a hang-on stand. The straps on the inside about crush the jewels, also cuts off circulation to legs. 2 hours is about all I can stand in it. I spoke with John E. about my issues and he said that he does not use the inside straps and he wraps the back down so it is lower on his rear. I may try these modifications and give it another shot. I have a 6lb alum hang on stand that is easier and quieter to set up, and also more comfortable.

The saddle was out in the 70's and never made it. I personally had one did not like it. But to each his own. I just want to say that it is not new and was re-marketed. I guess what is old is new.

The tree saddle is the longest field tested archery product there is!!! Thats why not a lot of people know what it is...
