Dane Waldman - Dryad Saddles - Is This Thing For Real?

The Bowhunter Chronicles Podcast - Episode 162 - Dane Waldman - Dryad Saddles - Is This Thing For Real? - This week Adam and John sit down and talk with Dane Waldman creator of Dryad Saddles. The Dryad saddle is not just another cookie cutter saddle saddle company who decided that they could sew and wanted to make a buck off of the booming saddle market, Dryad decided to think outside the diaper so to speak. Some might say thay Dryad has gone to far and made a product that is so outside the box, that it can’t work, that it’s a joke or there is no way you can hunt from it. We decided that we needed to talk with the man behind this thing to find out just what the hell was going on wth this thing. Prior to the podcast both John and Adam were able to get a chance to check out one of these saddles, to set it up sit in it and spend a little time with it so we didn’t go into this with a closed mind. This podcast gets to the bottom of all of that and more.

This was our 5th out of 6 years and the event has progressed quite a bit in that time. This year we shot 4 out of the 5 courses and had a great time. The Nock On course proved to be the most physically demanding and had the most technical shots with lng shots and steep angles, John Duduley was at te event and out on the course shooting with everyone and providing an opportunity to talk to all that asked. We got to talk with the guys from Tethrd, the guys from Zinger fletchings, and hang out with our friends from Latitude. Overall it was a great event, its not a competition, its not a substitute fr hunting or scouting but it is a great place to meet like minded hunters and archers and test your archery skills in psuedo hunting situations. A great event with great people and if you have one in your area or say within a 4-5 hour drive of your area I would sincerely reccomend you plan for it next year.     Save 10% at Trophyline.com with code BCTL10.     https://www.spartanforge.ai - save 25% with code bowhunter   https://www.tactacam.com   app.basemap.com save 20% with code chronicles  If you like what we are doing and want to see more, please consider checking out our Patreon account.  Any funds generated through our Patreon account are funneled right back into the podcast to help fund equipment, hosting fees and gear for reviews and giveaways and as always future hunts.  http://bit.ly/BHCPatreon   http://bit.ly/BowhunterChroniclesPodcast                         Learn more about your ad choices.
