    Huh, they way you are describing the turning is what I experienced when I had it set like your original picture.... Maybe the lengths of everything or just our bodies are different. All that really matters is that you like how ever you keep it set up, not how I use it :)

    Weaver Bridges (Cougar Saddle)

    Ben, the only thing I didn't like about the way you have it configured is that when the bridge was weighted, for me, it cammed the plates outwards and the knots inward, making the knots hard to see, and the bridge adjuster straps/ leg loop straps all got a heavy kink in them. Looking at your...

    They told me they are developing one now... CMI rigging plates I believe they mentioned. I also spoke with one of their consultants, Eddie Sarraco or something ?not sure on the last name?, he said the same thing.

    Weaver Bridges (Cougar Saddle)

    OK! So the check cleared. I called Weaver and told them this... Considering the recall on bridge 1.0 and the reported failures of bridge 2.0 that the I was not interested in a 3rd attempt, bridge 3.0. I informed them that I had removed the bridge and that without a central tie in, that the...

    Weaver Bridges (Cougar Saddle)

The replacement bridges (2.0) issued after the recall in November 2010 black/black are a Technora/Dyneema blend. When I told them there were reports of this bridge, 2.0...

    Fair enough. EMR I didnt take it that way at all, I agree with you it is a shame that it had to be "made safe" however much it cost.

    Weaver Bridges (Cougar Saddle)

    Ultimately you are absolutely right, but it would be a shame to spend even more on a new saddle ($200-500) AND lose my entire investment in the cougar ($250). It is sort of a stop gap fix I guess. The plates and the 45' of XTC ran me $75, and I have plenty of replacements in my supply closet. I...

    Weaver Bridges (Cougar Saddle)

    I recieved some more info from a guy at the buzz and just decided to go with the liger mod. I ordered the CT rigging plates and some XTC Fire. I bought a 46' short run for 20something $, enough that I can replace the bridge about 20 times or more for the price of one replacement bridge. Plus...

This bridge is for the new Cougars, Its black sheath with orange core. The black on black are the Technora/Dyneema blend. I dont...
