Anyone use these climbing sticks?

Does anyone have any kind of experience with these sticks? For the price it looks hard to beat, but I'm also hesitant for the old saying "you get what you pay for" too.

 

I have Gorrilla sticks that are almost exactly the same as those. I assume they are made of steel, and that makes them pretty heavy. They aren't great for mobile set ups, but they are awesome for lock-on stands that you will leave in place.

 

I have the same Gorilla sticks. Not good for mobile use but great for a lock-on that will stay. I usually carry in and out the bottom to sticks just in case. Here's a link to the Gorilla sticks.

 

On average how high can you usually get with the Gorilla sticks?

 

I can get around 4-4.5 feet per stick. 32" of stick and then around 18' in between.

 

depends on how tall you are too. i use the LF sticks and can get above 20' with four, but if i bring my lil' hunting buddy along we get up about 15' or so...

i always say this though... take down your last two sticks (closest to the ground) every time you leave the woods though... just in case a person sees your stand, it wont be as easy to take!

 

x2 great advice...I always do this

 

I am right at 6 foot.

I was hanging a stand the other day and was having a hard time getting my climbing sticks into the tree I wanted. It proved to be impossible so I had to pick a different less appealing tree close by. That's when I thought about buying a few sets of these for those irregular shaped trees.

 

I just got a set,the are heavy and they don't stack well to carry.That being said, they are solid, the build is nice, and for the money I'm way happy.
