Tethrd Tethrd MVP XL
It comes in two sizes: standard & XL. If you are a small-large hunter, go with the standard. If you are an XL hunter, go with the XL. The Modular Versatile Panel was built to add even more flexibility to our single panel saddle systems. It can replace the Recliner if a hunter feels they need something just a little more robust.It was designed to go from your “knee pits to your arm pits”. Because of the modular build, it can work with any saddle system, no matter the brand or design. The construction was beefed up quite a bit from the Recliner and designed to by bomb proof.We also built the MVP around two off-the-shelf and user replaceable elastic ITW clips. This is designed to connect the MVP to your bridge loops and keep it EXACTLY where you want it for lower back support. We originally created some proprietary methods for this connection, but in the end we decided to make it roll-tide-simple.The MVP comes in two sizes: standard & XL. If you buy jackets or hoodies in sizes Small-XL you should get the standard sized MVP. If your jackets and hoodies are 2X+, you should go with the XL. The XL adds even more length to get the buckles further in front of the hunter for quick & easy adjustments.Should I replace my Recliner with the MVP?Maybe. Greg decided to run the original Recliner, but Ernie likes the greater versatility of the MVP. If you’re more of a minimalist in your setup, we recommend the Recliner. But if you’ve ever found yourself wanting a more substantial back support, or you’ve been curious about a 2 panel saddle…the MVP can give you the best of both worlds.All 2 panel saddles (even our ESS) have a flaw. Neither panel can be adjusted truly independently of one another for better back support. Because they are connected at the bridge loops, the movement of one panel must affect the movement of the other. This tends to not be an issue when a hunter is overlapping the panels for a deeper or more shallow seat. However, when it comes to back support, a traditional 2 panel saddle kinda sucks.Since the MVP is an independent panel connected to your tether carabiner, you can put it wherever you want.Under your knees? YUP.Way up under your arm pits? YUP.Overlapping your saddle for more support? YUP Weight: 6.4 oz Standard and 6.88 oz XL

Tethrd Tethrd Phantom Saddle Reg Coyote
The Phantom is 100% Made in the USA. All day effortless comfort awaits. The Phantom is the next evolution in ultralight hunting. Try the Phantom and discover why hunters all over the world are ditching their tree stands for the saddle hunting revolution.Waist sizes 28″-36″ should select the Regular. Waist sizes 38″+ should select the XL. See “Sizing” info below for more info. SIZINGThe Tethrd® Phantom® is the result of 2 years of testing and research and development. The patent pending shape and cut means the Phantom® fits waist sizes from 28 inches to 40 inches. If your waist size is up to 36″, you should select the REGULAR. If you are a 36″ and larger, you should select the XL. However this isn’t set in stone. Some hunters with smaller waists, but with a little more “junk in the trunk” like to run the XL version. If you’re on the fence…you may want to size up first. But don’t worry no matter which way you go, we’ll get you sorted out if your size selection doesn’t work out.COMFORT CHANNELSThe patent pending Comfort Channels™ provide all day, unsurpassed comfort with easy to use high, medium, and low support settings. The Comfort Channels allow simple, one-handed, adjustment for leaning trees, and give you full control over where you need support most. If you like lower back support, move to the “high” Comfort Channel. If you like more support under your seat, move to the “low” Comfort Channel.UTILIBRIDGE™In the past hunters had to sacrifice user-friendliness, or accept more weight and bulk, to have a truly on-demand adjustable bridge. The patent pending UtiliBridge™ is the first of it’s kind constructed with Dynalite™. Our proprietary Dynalite™ material is made from ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) and is one of the strongest pound for pound fibers on the planet. It’s stronger than steel. It floats. It’s weather resistant. It’s ultralight. It can hold a jeep. Dynalite™ is perfect for outdoor applications. With nearly 30 inches of on-the-fly adjustability, everyone can find their saddle hunting sweet spot. There’s no metal, no bulk, and it’s the strongest adjustable bridge ever made. The UtiliBridge™ checks all the boxes and has tons of upside potential. Looking for the down side? Good luck.LINEMAN LOOPSThe Phantom has re-engineered lineman loops to make them more user friendly and even stronger than ever. The large patent pending lineman loops are easier to find and use in the dark, even with gloves on your hands during the late season. Rest assured the Phantom’s lineman loops will handle anything you can throw at them.FREEDOM BELTWe upgraded the waist belt on the Phantom to a completely new ultra-wide, ultra-adjustable design. We eliminated the tri-glide adjustment system used on all other Tethrd saddles. This simplified belt makes one-handed belt cinching a breeze. The all-new floating design means you have unlimited positioning options for your buckle. You can position the buckle on your left or right side, or right in the middle of your waist. You can also easily adjust the position for early season or late season settings.SUSPENSION KIT READYThe Phantom is ready to give you all the support you need. We’ve listened to a lot of saddle hunters who wished there was a suspender option for their saddle. Our brand new Suspension Kit is designed to work seamlessly with the Phantom. The Suspension Kit will also work with any saddle that incorporates standard molle loops. *Suspension Kit sold separately.Not only is the Phantom the most efficient elevated hunting saddle ever built…it’s 100% made in America. If you’re looking to be a more efficient hunter and eliminate as much weight and bulk as possible, congratulations…mission accomplished. WEIGHT RATING: 300 lbs

Tree Saddles Hunting & Accessories
For hunters who value stealth, mobility, and comfort, saddle hunting offers a new level of freedom in the woods. A tree saddle replaces the weight and bulk of a hang-on stand or climber, giving you a lightweight option that works on nearly any straight tree. At Adventures Archery, we carry durable and comfortable saddles, platforms, and climbing sticks designed for every style of hunting. Whether it’s your first time trying this setup or you’re a diehard saddle hunter, our experts can help you build a system that keeps you comfortable, secure, and mobile all season.
Why Choose Tree Saddle Hunting
The biggest concern for many hunters is finding the right balance between comfort and mobility. A hunting saddle provides both. With a proper saddle setup, you can stay concealed, move quietly, and adjust your position around the tree with ease. The bridge, tether, and platform work together to keep you stable while allowing full shooting range in every direction. This style of hunting gives you greater control, increased visibility, and next level versatility, making it a favorite choice among modern bowhunters.
Saddle Hunting Essentials at Adventures Archery
Tree Saddles
A saddle is the foundation of your setup, built as a secure, supportive harness designed for comfort during long hunts. Modern hunting saddles focus on mobility, comfort, and safety, keeping you steady and silent while waiting for deer to pass below.
Platforms
The platform provides a sturdy, quiet surface for your feet. It works with your tether rope and bridge to give you balance and control, allowing you to pivot smoothly for accurate shots.
Climbing Sticks & Steps
Climbing sticks are the key to a safe, efficient climbing method. Whether you prefer a one stick approach or multiple sticks, each step keeps you secure on the way up while maintaining quiet mobility on straight trees.
Safety Gear & Accessories
From knee pads and shoulder straps to lineman’s belts, carabiners, and harnesses, safety gear keeps every hunter connected and comfortable. Always inspect your setup before every saddle hunt to ensure each piece of equipment is secure and ready for use.
Bows, Arrows, and Accessories for Saddle Hunting
Bows
Compact, well-balanced bows pair perfectly with saddle setups, especially for deer hunting in tight spaces or elevated positions. Choose from recurve or compound models that deliver control, power, and accuracy.
Bow Accessories
Quiet, durable bow accessories help refine your setup for smoother shots. Stabilizers, rests, and grips are designed to reduce noise and improve handling during long sits in your comfortable saddle.
Arrows
A dependable arrow setup ensures accuracy from elevated angles. Adventures Archery offers a variety of tuned arrows built for consistent flight and penetration across all degrees of shot angle.
Tree Saddle Hunting FAQs
A hunting saddle is a lightweight harness system that lets a hunter hang safely from a tree using a tether, bridge, and platform. It provides comfort, stability, and stealth for deer season in any terrain.
Yes. The saddle supports your weight, but the platform gives you a stable place to stand and pivot. The two are designed to work together for comfort and accurate shooting.
When used correctly, tree saddles are extremely safe. Always wear a harness, connect your tether rope and lineman’s belt, and check your gear before every hunt.
A tree saddle is lighter, quieter, and more mobile than a hang-on stand or climber. It allows increased mobility and more shot angles around the tree, improving your effectiveness while reducing weight.
A complete saddle setup includes a hunting saddle, platform, tether, bridge, knee pads, and climbing sticks. Practice your climbing method safely. There’s a short learning curve, but comfort improves quickly.
