The greatest advantage of Saddle Hunting is the ability to use the tree as a shield from the deer you are hunting.
The big Saddle companies took that advantage away from you when they began selling the big money, and small advantage platforms which leaves you stuck in one spot on a tiny platform.
If one of the most accomplished and successful Saddle Hunting Deer Hunters of All Time (John Eberhart) still uses a Ring of Steps instead of the newly marketed platforms, what is that saying?
Our Ring of Steps is lighter, smaller, easier to pack, and gives you so many more options on how to set up and place your feet than the new platforms.
If you are worried about them being comfortable, our Platform Steps Patent Pending features are specifically designed to be comfortable as a Saddle Hunting Ring of Steps. If you are concerned check out the reviews.
Many guys use our Platform Ring of Steps for 12 hour sits!
The Platform Step has angles that are similar to the angles your feet will contact the steps as you lean. No other steps have this feature.
If you are wondering how you would carry them, you can add on the brown dump to have an ideal way to carry and assist in attaching your Ring of Steps. You can also keep your tether under your ring of steps in the bottom of the pouch and right there where and when you need it!
We guarantee you will be a more effective saddle hunter and enjoy all of the possibilities that originally came with the hunting saddle, or we will gladly give you your money back!
Our Steps are proudly Made in America
Do yourself a favor and don’t get stuck out in the open when Mr. Big is heading your way.
Get the Ring of Steps and hide behind the tree!
After all the time and money you spend…
You deserve it!

Thank you bull man
Great steps I bought 5 with the ratchet strap and it allows me to work all the way around the tree at an affordable price
Much better than a platform while in my saddle. 😁

I started using Bullman Outdoors ROS in 2019 when I started saddle hunting as Traditional Bowhunter that hunts primarily with a 66” longbow, I’ve found that these are the best and most solid step once set, whether I use a ratchet strap or OCB buckle. They are also some of the most affordable steps out there. I have a few the I use for pre-sets and one that I use for mobile hunting.

Got 5 steps as well as the hd ratchet strap great system as a light stand alone or in conjunction with a platform which just completely stiffens up the whole system only reason for the 4 stars is upon removal you do get a rather big pop from the strap which is pretty loud
Dale Edwards –
Absolutely perfect product. Light, strong and do not roll when foot pressure is applied at angle
Tom Kielbasinski –
These are the first ROS I tried as am new to saddlehunting this year. I also purchased a platform but like the Bullman steps so much I never even tried the platform…lightweight, quick and comfortable. Took a few times to get familiar with how to install them but I am super happy with them…awesome product!

Purchased the platform steps in hopes to battle foot pain!! A they worked flawlessly, light weight an minimal noise. Went from 3-4 hour sits to all day sits with ease . I can’t get comfortable with a platform for some reason an others step’s really hurt my feet even with a thick sole boot , game changer for me using the platform steps
Dan –
I killed a deer while using these, so they must work. Great addition to my saddle gear. I’m usually a full platform guy but these are great for a quick, light after work hunt or an all day sit adding to my platform when I think I may need to walk around a tree. The strap locks them in tight and I’ve never had them slip on me.

I’m new to saddle hunting and started with a platform I am a big guy at 6’1 and pushing the weight limit of 300 bit these steps lock in solid. With the platform found weak side side shots hard to do with size 13 feet its hard to use a small platform as a stand and turn on it. Walking around the tree on these steps is by far easier. They are rock solid and the traction is decent enough where I dont slip. Great product and rock solid.

Ring of steps i bought both sets six of both and love them very sturdy and made with good quality definitely recommend either one great product 👍 👌 😊
Bryan Moorefield –
Used them this hunting season and they worked great. They are light weight and solid as can be on the tree. Been using a saddle for hunting over 20 years and always used screw in steps, this is much simpler, lighter and much more efficient. Thanks for the great product.

I purchased the Ring of Steps in Oct. 22, The package arrived quicker than expected. Highly recommend trying this out at home with your tree saddle set up several times before heading out into the field. Threading the ratchet strap while suspended 20′ up in the dark is a bit challenging and requires patience. Once set, the platform worked great, Didn’t do an all day sit but a couple of 5 hr sits. They were comfortable, you just have to change positions not to get too stiff and relieve pressure points either from the steps your your saddle set up. I purchased 5 steps, but would suggest 6 as a better set up so you can evenly space them around the tree. Worked great, setting up on the off side of the tree had several deer walk by and even a couple of other public land hunters, never knew I was there. Very happy

I have hunted out of a saddle for nearly 40 years using all types of steps and platforms. This is the first time I have been completely comfortable with no tired feet.
Chad Warden –
With 5 of the platform steps and the ratchet strap it is a great system
Rock solid on the tree
Cris G Counts –
Bullman nailed it! Best ring of steps on the market! Got these in and decided to throw them on a slick fence post real quick to test how well they hold. Threw them on an ocb and hopped up on them. Little to my surprise only 2-4 of them settled down into a solid position. I’m not positive all four on the front side even moved lol. They were all solid as a rock. I stepped around the backside and those two never budged. Extremely impressed and definitely looking forward to hitting the woods with them 👍🏻👍🏻. 160lbs give or take for reference

I moved from a platform set up to these steps and will never go back to a platform. I find them more comfortable, easier to pack, lighter, and provide more shot opportunities than a platform. I was concerned the ratchet strap would be loud, but if you take your time, as shown in some of the videos, you can be very quiet. I anticipate these to last many seasons. Great product.
Al Torry –
Just received my Platform of Steps. I didn’t know if I was going to like them, being I have always used a platform for saddle hunting. Wrong!! These things are fantastic. You can definitely get around the tree and they hold in position. So I will be definitely using them out hunting. Thanks Bullman for a great product!!
John radford –
Works so well I bought a second one so I can leave in favorite stand and still be moble.
Bryan –
Purchased 4 steps found them to be way more comfortable and convenient than screw in steps . Put some orientation marks on my strap to aid with threading the strap in the dark . I also make a small overhand knot to make a loop to hang strap off my saddle while climbing . Could not be happier with my purchase great products
Greg –
Love this things!! Prefer these to a platform. They are much easier to move around the tree vs a platform
Al –
Debated for 3 years on what ROS I wanted to go with and as soon as these came out I ordered them. Very pleased! Even with a size 14 boot. Went with an OCB style strap instead of ratchet and finally have what I was waiting for.
Nicholas Divincenti –
Bought 6 steps to try something different. The platform had to placed just right on a tree that has any bend to it. Also I felt like I was picked out to easily. Definitely practiced for a couple days with different situations and different trees to get used to them and setting up situations. Can hide easily and step around and no more squeak from the platform and stuck in one spot.
jimmy branks –
I use ros with lattitude xwing platform and they’re a great addition to a platform. Helps you get around the tree for shot options and gives an alternative resting place for your feet when sitting or leaning. I use them wether I’m in my method 2 saddle or my jx3 hybrid saddle.
Todd West –
Great product for the mobile hunter. Very little movement if any once seated. Very user friendly.
LUKE FERA –
They work great with one sticking.

They work great

Great for tree climbing! I used this for my kid’s tree zip line. It is so much better than having the ladder on uneven ground.
Eran Rosensteel –
Steps are OK . Even with the rachit strap ,the steps well slowly slide down the tree
Eric –
So far I’m super impressed with the platform ring of steps. The day after I got mine I took them to a tree and strapped them on. From the ground they were really easy to get them strapped to the tree. Today I went scouting and brought my climbing sticks and the ring of steps. I’m getting back into bow hunting after being out of it for 13 years. I am also not a fan of heights. I got up the tree with 3 sticks and put the ring of steps on the tree. I had a harder time this time because again, I’m not a big fan of heights and I’m still getting used to all of it. However, with my lineman rope attached I was able to step onto the ring of steps. I’m very impressed with how stable they are. Yes they do slide down about an inch to get settled but its expected. Another thing that really surprised me was how comfortable they are to stand on. I haven’t even used a saddle yet with these. I didn’t walk around the tree cause I only had the lineman belt on but I didn’t feel like they were going to move at all. Super stable. I got the ratchet strap with them and if you ratchet it slow the deer are not going to hear you. Can’t wait to try these out with my saddle on the next scouting trip!
Jim Hodges –
Wide and comfortable. A nice improvement on an already superior product. Go further, quieter and leave no mark behind.
Tim Nelson –
Purchased the platform ring of steps to practice in the backyard vs. using a platform. Easy to use and easy on the feet.
Shane ONeal –
So much easier then having to take a platform
Ron Jacobson –
The platform ring of steps are absolutely awesome!! I have 6 and the ratchet strap. I’ve also done 10 hours sits and my feet have been comfortable all day. The versatility a ring of steps offers has certainly provided me with better shot opportunities.
Steve thomas –
Great ring of steps. Easy to setup and adjust. Ratchet strap works awesome and holds steps tight to the tree. Not much movement when your weight is added. Light to carry. Not to noisy. Comfortable on the feet for long sits.
Robert Kobres –
I started one sticking last season. These steps are my favorite option to replace a large platform one stick.
My ultra light setup for this year is the small Scout Platform on a 12″ stick with 3 step adder along with 4 Platform Step and the strap.
I also plan to try just 6 Platform Steps with no other platform using my 4 set of One Sticks and adders.
Todd west –
Excellent product, light weight, easy to use, far more comfortable then the original aluminum ROS
Steven Lebire (verified owner) –
I have tried them once so far and they worked absolutely fantastic! I will be using them sometimes by their self and also plan on using with my saddle platform! Definitely would recommend them! 👍
Zak M –
I was hesitant to try this out. After having shot from this and other main stream type platforms isn’t not even a comparison. These steps are more sturdy, provide a better base to shoot from and allow for more (and easier) movement around the tree. Awesome product.

Great people great hunting gear ..

I will admit, at first, I wasn’t sold. The more I use them the better they get. I thought the steps were too short. They aren’t. I thought they were too loud. With practice they are quieter than the platform. The biggest draw back is that it is almost too easy to move around the tree. I find myself doing it to alleviate boredom. Great product. Well designed and constructed.

Ordered the ring of steps and they felt way better than the cheaper set I was using. Had the strap start to rip and emailed bullman and they immediately sent me new strap. Highly recommend

I bought two sets, one for a friend. Took me 3 times up the tree to get it dialed in. I removed one of the steps, using my top step of the climbing stick as #6. Far superior to the Hawk brand I tried. Less stable and more complicated than screw in steps to attach to the tree. Quick tips: place ROS 4-5 inches above your last step, they will sink when you stomp them tight. Get steps tight enough on tree that you can just barely move steps along the strap to place them, then crank it tight. Have buckle facing you but just offset from your top step so you don’t step on the ratchet and your ratchet doesn’t get stuck behind your climbing stick when you stomp things tight. Take the time to get your steps right before you sit back to hunt or adjust as soon as you realize you’re not happy w the set. That avoids some misery 4-5 hours later. We like them. Saves us weight vs a platform and more maneuverability around the tree. Also less expensive than a platform. You’ll eventually land on your own system for how you pack and carry. I like to sling them over my shoulder when I go up the sticks along w my tether rope. If you carry a small pack, you can use that attached to your lineman’s belt around the tree to cushion your knees (after you’re tethered). A bear, buck and doe with the longbow using them. The bear and buck in particular were shoot able based on ability to contort into position. Getcha some. It’s a good product.

Not a fan of the ratchet strap, but the steps are nice!
Chris Daniels (verified owner) –
Got these yesterday and got to use them today. I’m a public land hunter and I use the JX3 hybrid saddle and Wild Edge steps.
My last ring of steps was something I got off of Amazon. They were AL and only had a cam strap. They were noisy and you could only get the cam straps so tight.
These are plastic and are super quiet. The ratchet strap really allows you to crank them tight.
You could do jumping jacks on these things and they aren’t going to shift.
You can also put full side pressure and again, they aren’t going to shift.
Since I’m in a hybrid saddle…only time I on my feet is moving around the tree or relieving myself I can’t tell you about foot comfort of an all day hang. The foot pegs are sizeable and hooked into the heel of my boot and I felt like my feet had plenty of support.
Totally recommend these.

New to the Saddle world and very afraid of heights I have to say that these steps to me and for my needs are incredible. Very secure once set. I am able to get almost all the way around the tree within reason. Both strong side and weak. Of course you’re limited by the length of you tether. Steps and strap are incredibly well made. It takes me awhile to trust new gear but this product put my mind at ease. I don’t use a platform and I wanted to keep weight down. So this was a no brainer. Thank you Bullman Outdoors for the fast shipping as well and an outstanding product. I use these with my Dryad Full Hammock. I can spend an entire day just a swingin in the trees, comfortably.
