Advantages Of Saddle Hunting
- Extremely Lightweight Tree Saddles: Tree Saddles are lightweight, making you more mobile. Perfect for the Public Land Owner! Our new lightweight saddle hunting steps make climbing a breeze too. At 24 ounces, we offer some of the lightest saddle hunting steps on the market.
- Little to no noise: With a tree saddle, you don’t get the noise typically associated with pulling up tree stands.
- Hunters Safety: While there have been lots of hunters who have fallen from conventional tree stands, when saddle hunting you are tethered to the tree from the moment you leave the ground until you step back on it after the hunt, making it almost impossible to fall.
- Affordable: While some of our saddle hunting platforms may be a tad more expensive than some traditional tree stands, you only need 1 saddle hunting platform. Gone are the days of needing multiple stands for multiple sets. Save time and money saddle hunting.

Shikar sticks
This'll be a limited review- I'm a first time saddle hunter and my harness isn't in yet so I've had limited time to safely use them. The sticks themselves are well machined and the surface coating is well done, all edges except the actual stick and versa button are nice and sharp for extra grip. Sadly, the textured finish makes for some awkward fitting issues in the notch for the step when placed properly (there is a notch cut into the step that lines up with the stick itself to stop rotation of the step). The finish on both parts can cause some binding, the sticks ship with oil applied- some people complain that oil smells horrible- I worked in a photo lab for years so either I can't smell it or it's fine. I'd suggest to mitigate this just use some mineral oil. Not a lot else to say. I went without straps in favor of amsteel rope mod. I do wish out on a limb would create some sort of carry system- perhaps a rubberized set of fingers that pinch grip the sticks to keep them together such that they can pull right off. Only reason I don't give the product 5 stars is I don't think it would be fair to review that high without actually putting the product through its paces. My H2 should be coming in about 2 weeks, perhaps I'll have different opinions after that.

Shikar minis. Two thumbs up
Really like if the minis. I just got a scout and a couple squirrel steps and initial impression is I’m digging it. I will say I prefer A flat strap or something similar compared to amsteel daisy chain for attaching to the tree. And for my scout and mini I prefer a cinch buckle strap. Just my preference though.

Crazy light

The Shikar 20" Stick
Ordered two 20” sticks. Once I fixed the one that was missing parts, they work as intended. One of the sticks had the lock nuts missing for holding on the knobs and it was missing the washers between the knob and stick. I also had to file the top step channel about 1/16” on each side so the step would fit onto the stick. Once I found some replacement washers, locknuts, and did some hand filing on the step, it worked correctly. I can understand the 1/16” milling issue, but I was disappointed with the missing parts. Ultimately, I feel like I was sent a stick from the leftovers bin to complete my order. Check your gear, be safe.

Shikar Climbing Stick
First year saddle hunting and knew immediately I needed a good set of sticks. Was able to test 5 different types of sticks and the Shikar was by far the best. Love how they fold down and pack together so well when folded down. Favorite thing by far is how they flex on the tree and allow you to get into basically any tree you want. Wouldn’t recommend any other stick besides these!

Standard Length Shikar with 5/8 Mini Strap
Just got these sticks in a couple days ago and by the time I put the fourth one on the tree I had the hang of it. Super easy to use, super lightweight and packable, quality beyond my expectations. Matt is an awesome guy to deal with and offered me a lot of help when choosing my setup. I have fairly short legs but with four of the 17” sticks and a versa aider as recommend by Matt, I got a solid 20-22 feet in a tree on my first go. I’d recommend these products to anybody.
