Hey, I have decided to purchase another Millennium hang on. What I am having trouble deciding is what sticks to get. I know LW and some others are the best and lightest but I have to spend that much for them. Kind of looking for a balance of price and quality. Wanted to see what you all use. Thanks.
I don't have them, but if I was buying new sticks today, I would probably go with the XStand Venom sticks. I like having two steps at each level, and the distance the step is away from the tree.
I have a set of the original LW sticks and they are nice, but the single side design leaves a bit to be desired. A buddy bought a set of Hawk Helium sticks last year and really liked them so I inspected them closely. With a Cabela's gift card from last Christmas still in my wallet and a $10 off coupon, I recently bought a set of the Hawk Helium sticks and look forward to using them this fall for my "run and gun" lightweight setup.
I have both the lone wolf and hawk helium steps. If you don't want to mod anything then buy the lone wolf. If you want to make a few adjustments buy the hawk steps. Both work well, I just had to change a few things on the heliums to suit my needs. You might also look into the XOP steps.
Appreciate the feedback. Just updating, decided to try out Rivers Edge Bowman stands since they will not be moved much if any. Thanks again!
