    Why Saddle Hunting Makes You a Better Bowhunter

    Bowhunting season is almost here, and mobility could be the key to getting within range of your next buck. Bowhunter editor Christian Berg sits down with Tethrd co-founder Greg Godfrey to talk saddle hunting, the new Phantom XP, and why a lightweight, mobile setup can give bowhunters more options in the field. Greg and Christian break down some of the biggest misconceptions surrounding saddle hunting, from comfort and safety to the perceived learning curve. They discuss how quickly new saddle hunters can become comfortable climbing, shooting and setting up—and why a saddle can replace an entire collection of traditional tree stands. They also dive into the new Phantom XP, which combines the simplicity of Tethrd's original Phantom with an expansion panel designed to provide additional comfort during long sits without sacrificing mobility. And with Christian discovering a potential 190-inch Kentucky whitetail on his trail camera, the conversation quickly turns to putting those saddle-hunting tactics to work. In this episode: Why saddle hunting isn't as difficult as it looks The advantages of staying mobile Single-panel vs. two-panel saddles What's new with the Tethrd Phantom XP How to practice shooting from a saddle Choosing and preparing trees for different wind directions Getting started before hunting season Greg's upcoming whitetail hunts Christian's giant new Kentucky buck Whether you're an experienced saddle hunter or considering making the switch, this episode is packed with practical advice for becoming lighter, faster and more adaptable in the whitetail woods.
