Customer feedback on this stand was excellent. Small, lightweight, easily movable. Just enough platform room to stand and shoot, just the way I like it! Highly recommend!
The Raider Hybrid is a very well built and reliable platform. I was diving deep trying to find a setup such as this one and Novix knocked it out of the park. The platform is lightweight, easy to throw on a small pack, and has a very versatile setup. I’ve spent all day multiple consecutive days in the woods using this hybrid setup. Sitting all day in a saddle can get restless over the course of days to a week so the seat feature is nice to be able to have the option to sit like a lock on once in a while and transfer your weight to a different area. The rounded seat is a very unique design to be able to sit, rest your knees against (which is nice to not have to worry about bringing knee pads or a pad to put on the tree) and it folds out of the way to stand on the platform. Pros- ergonomics, lightweight, cost is relatively cheap when looking at a hybrid setup and overall this product is well built and bites good. The only thing I’d like to see from Novix to improve on a great platform would be to make the seat a little wider and a little deeper, just so when you decide to sit it is a little more comfortable. I would like to see a different strap on the seat as well only due to the noise it creates when your pants find that small strap can be a little noisy when in that critical time to make micro movements. All around great job Novix! Keep improving and keep it up!
The hybrid is the best name for this multi use platform. This is going to be super helpful for the all day saddle sits during the rut.
The benefits of saddle hunting with the ability to have the comfort of a stand when you need a break.
This will be my platform of choice for those long sits in the woods using my saddle setup.
I’m very excited about the quality and the adjustability of this tree stand. It’s definitely going to be a huge asset to my bowhunting arsenal.
I gave it a four-star and would’ve given it a five star. If the foam seat was quieter, it’s like the foam was a second thought when it came to the production of this tree stand I would love to see a quieter foam or some type of cover because this phone is gonna be way too loud to be used in a bowhunting set up.
I would like to see them revisit the design of the foam that goes with these tree stands and provide the customers with a free upgrade
