The Tethrd Grit Workhorse Platform XL is a saddle hunting accessory designed to give you a stable shooting platform without the weight penalty of traditional stand setups. If you hunt from a saddle, this platform extends your versatility by letting you position yourself for 360-degree shooting opportunities around the tree. It mounts to nearly any tree capable of supporting your weight, making it adaptable across different hunting environments and tree species.

Saddle hunters often face a trade-off: comfort and stability versus packability. The Workhorse Platform addresses that by delivering a functional shooting surface while staying light enough to strap to your pack for the hike in. The flat-pack design means it doesn't add bulk to your loadout, and setup at the tree is straightforward. Whether you're hunting from a climbing saddle or prefer the mobility saddle hunting offers, this platform gives your legs and lower back a rest during long sits—critical when you're spending hours perched in timber.

The XL size accommodates hunters who need extra space and support, making it a solid choice if you run a larger frame or simply want more room to shift your stance and manage recoil during the shot. It's the kind of gear that makes a real difference in saddle hunting success, turning an awkward shooting position into something you can actually execute with confidence.
