A lot of room to move around some. Packs great on my pack.
Awesome product
Rock solid, very nice!
This platform surpasses all the other ones I’ve tried , larger platform easy transportation with the lone wolf backpack straps . I use it all bow season absolutely love it . Highly recommended
I loved using this saddle platform during late season. It was easy to pack. I was able to move all around the tree and it is very sturdy
The Ambush Platform is perfect for going in on a long trek in to a sit, or for a quick hunt in the afternoon. I have a 0.5 as well and have had the Ambush now for a couple of months. Both are exceptional. You will love how well the Ambush locks in to a tree! I am able to push off of this platform as hard as I so choose, without any worry about it moving on the tree. The adjustable platform angle really makes it nice for standing in like like a traditional hang-on stand (you’ll still need a saddle), and yes, there IS enough room to turn your feet sideways on this platform. For long all-day sits, angle it down slightly for the ultimate comfort. I have particular trees that I favor with the 0.5, but this Ambush Platform is my go-to now for most of my hunting - you won’t be disappointed!
Good stuff. Metal to Metal necessity. Doesn't tear with continuous rubbing.
This platform is perfect! Large enough to stand and turn around in the tree comfortably but small enough to easily strap to my pack for the long walk into to swamp. Pairs perfectly with my LWCG double steps. Great product, great company!!
The Ambush is exactly what it was advertised as!! I’m average sized guy, 6’1”, snot 210. I wanted something with room to maneuver and love the adjustable post for leaning trees. This thing is perfect for my needs, and super lightweight and packs with the mini compacts perfectly. The fact it’s designed by a bonafide slayer is a bonus. Home run for guys that like mobile hunting. #LWCG JOSH
This is my first year saddle hunting and I really like the comfort of this larger size platform. Also how light weight it is. You can stand on the extreme edge and it is still rock solid.
I was looking for a well built, sturdy, spacious and light weight platform made in the USA. LWCG nailed it as usual. From my 1.0, climbing sticks, Wolfpack and more, LWCG delivers great gear to make my hunts more productive and comfortable. Highly recommend this platform and any of their other gear.
It is an amazing product. I did a lot of research on different saddle platforms from different brands and ended up going with this. I wear a size 14 boot so I wanted something bigger that would be more comfortable. It has plenty of room and then some I can’t imagine there is a better platform on the market. It’s the right size, it’s packable, and when you set it right, is has a death grip on the tree. The teeth are super sharp and lock onto any tree with no problem what so ever. The teeth are so sharp that if you bump your hand on them you might cut your self. Compared to other platforms this one is more expensive but it is worth every penny. If I had to do it again I would buy it again hands down.
Awesome product! Light weight and soild! Bites better than anything ive used in the past!
I've been hunting from this platform since its birth and have loved it from the beginning. The overall size/width allows me to hunt trees with a much larger circumference and still have access to the "weak" side and opposite side of the tree vs smaller platforms on the market. Yet the engineering and machining are fantastic so I do not have a significant weight penalty for long hikes in. This platform has aided in the last 4 deer kills and I've also used it for filming other archery hunters as well over the past couple years and its been fantastic. The teeth are extremely aggressive where the base and post meet up with the tree and after some practice, you can have this thing locked in solid every time on your first attempt. Price is pretty high for the amount of material you get, but these days more than ever you get what you pay for and this is no different. I also appreciate the communication from the LWCG team and you can tell the family really cares about making people happy and sharing in your hunting passion. customer for life.
Solid, spacious and light weight. Perfect for a saddle hunter.
Awesome quality. Great size. Saddle platform but easily able to stand on comfortably when necessary. Super lite weight. And takes about 2 seconds to hang! Highly recommended!
The Ambush platform is amazing! The quality of the stand and the innovative design is perfect. I use to Saddle hunt many ago, and stopped because there wasn’t a platform. I decided I was better off in a lock-on or a climber. Now with these light weight sticks, aiders, and Ambush stand.... I can mobile hunt just about anywhere I want to walk.
I’ve got 2 ambushes (the OG rubber coated and the one with “Saddle Hunter” engraved in it) and I’m currently waiting for my 3rd one to come in with the slanted tooth design to compare. I love these platforms! They are the perfect size for my sz 13 insulated boots, and once you learn the technique for setting them (see Andrea’s video), they are rock solid to the tree. The thing I love the most are the little pegs that allow me to connect a 2nd strap to the base of the platform. This is a genius addition, and it literally takes 10 seconds to secure the stand that much more
I absolutely love this platform. Zero kick out with side pressure. Super light weight and the way the LWCG sticks can stack on this platform makes carrying it a breeze. Also great customer service!!
Need more time with the platform but packs nice and easy.
The perfect size for any aspect of saddle hunting. Love the high tolerance of the machining. Easy to transport with LWCG minis. The only thing I would change is the sharpness of the edges, which tends to fray my straps. I love deer hunting and this makes me more effective 100%!
Lightweight, sturdy and plenty of room
The platform works great just like all of lone wolf stands.
Light weight for its size , plenty of room for my big feet!
If you are looking for a bigger saddle platform, this one is perfect. I can even turn around and keep my back against the tree if I want to be in a different position and relieve pressure on long sits. But still small and light enough to be mobile. Watch the instruction video to set it properly and it is rock solid. Of course, Lone Wolf quality through and through.
I have 2 long wolf lock on have used them for years know trying saddle hunting had to have the best so go plat form
Love it!!! Light weight for the size and very sturdy!It's a game changer for saddle hunting to be able to easily stand and spin around to shoot to your weak side. I killed a buck the second hunt with it this year with a fast encounter of a buck running a doe directly to my right. I can confidently say i wouldnt have been able to get drawn back fast enough with my old platform.
Rock solid and made in the USA
big roomy platform. great for long sits
American made work of art..holds like a rock and plenty of space to stand if u need
Fast delivery awesome product
Very stable light weight platform easy to pack in and out . Easy to set up where you need to hunt would recommend for any saddle hunter .
Very stable and easy to setup.
Platform is Awesome
Store owner replied: It is a great platform! Thanks for the feedback!
The best saddle platform on the market IMO. I love the size, weight, and rock solid feeling once it is set. Another awesome product from a great company.
Took a few try’s to learn to set, I had a Cruzer, love the extra room, in Northern Mn we need pack boots for warmth so it’s nice Solid, price was a bit of a reach I thought we got 2 straps?
Best Saddle Platform i’ve used. Super sticky to the tree and It is big enough for me to turn around and stand back-to the tree. Pricey, but solid.
Great bite. Well constructed and feels safe. Excellent quality. Highly recommend.
Perfect for saddle hunting blacktail with my longbow!!!!!!
