Customer Reviews
Both predator v xl and skeletor sticks just might be the best bang for your buck.
Another 5/5 for Tethrd. This thing feels like you’re standing up on concrete. Extremely easy to climb with, walk in with, and more importantly, to hang. Have never experienced any slipping or had any thought of failure. Sturdy is an understatement.
The Predator V is hands down one of my favorite saddle hunting platforms. The lightweight design makes it effortless to carry, and the MOLLE clip setup is a game changer as I can attach it directly to my saddle for easy transport without any extra straps or bulk. Mounting and dismounting from the tree is quick and simple, and I really appreciate that it is a single solid piece with nothing to come loose or rattle.
The cam buckle strap is straightforward and secure, and I like that it stores perfectly in the smaller external side pouch of my SYS Hauler for easy access when setting up. Every part of this platform feels purpose built for efficiency and reliability in the field.
If you are looking for a lightweight, durable, and well designed saddle platform that will not overcomplicate your setup, the Predator V is tough to beat.
I am fairly new to saddle hunting but have adapted very fast I’m a die hard tethrd fan now because it’s so simple and comfortable. This platform is very comfy and light weight. The front drop off is perfect. Would definitely recommend to anyone and will be buying the one sticks next year because these hawk heliums ain’t my cup of tea😂 I’m fourteen
Perfectly designed; weight, comfort, and security are lights out. Size 11 boot and plenty of room on the regular. Angled edge is money and finish is perfect with absolutely no glare. Installation a breeze.
