if your are talking about the strap that has a prussic not on it and you just slide it to be tight around the tree its awesome!. I use a climbing treestand and this moves up the tree more easily then sliding up the seat belt style one and pulling tight, the rope you just slide to tighten. Plus because of the prussic knot and extra rope you gain about 2 or 3 inches more for more mobility turning side to side. I notice that with a seat belt style strap its very hard for me to shoot or draw to the right, im a right hand shot. I would def go and get this if i were you.
