The patented JX3 Hybrid combines the best proven comfort features of traditional climbing stands with the lightweight portability and mobility of a saddle system. Its foldable design allows you to pack game or gear, it easily converts to a ground chair if needed, and a built-in seat, backrest, and harness keep you connected to the tree from the moment you leave the ground, so you get safety, comfort, mobility, and multifunctionality in a durable single setup.
A saddle tree stand is a lightweight mobile hunting system that allows you to climb a variety of trees, stay safely connected to the tree from the time you leave the ground, and remain mobile in the tree at hunting height. You wear a lightweight saddle setup, climb with climbing sticks, and hunt from an elevated position connected to the tree by a tether. If you hunt public land or move between setups based on wind or pattern changes, a hunting saddle lets you hunt deeper, quieter, and longer.
Most of us grew up hunting from a hang-on stand, a lightweight lock-on, or a climber. The mobile hunting movement pushed many hunters to a traditional saddle. The access was a game-changer, but anyone who has hunted from a traditional saddle knows the cost: hip pinch, side pressure, numb legs, and discomfort after a few hours. The Hybrid keeps everything that makes saddle hunting work and fixes what doesn't.
No hauling 25+ pounds of metal or leaving gear behind on public land. With The Hybrid, you climb almost any tree and still get a seat and backrest, plus the freedom to move quietly at hunting height.
No more hip pinch, fatigue, or fidgeting from discomfort. The Hybrid has a built-in contoured seat and backrest, so you can sit all day like in a hang-on, with the full mobility of a saddle.
Quite simply, with one unit you have the ability to:
If you have spent years deer hunting from a traditional tree stand, the move to a saddle can feel intimidating. There can be a learning curve, but many hunters get it faster than expected, especially with the Hybrid.
