I'm still in the transition. Thanks to some of the above posters I have gotten advice from, I got everything I needed. I say transition, as I still need to practice more to get everything in sync without double guessing anything. I try to climb up and down trees in the evenings when it isn't too hot. My nerves still make me sweat my butt off, but I think once I become more and more comfortable with it, along with cooler fall temps, that anxiety will go away. I also need to practice more with shot positioning, I seem to dangle up there uncontrollably quite often with a lot of movement
I can definitely see this being a game changer. There have been numerous times I have needed to get in a specific tree and wasn't able to due to several limbs being in the way and I had a climber on my back. Once comfortable with this, you can get much more surgical on your position.
