anyone have any experiences with those stands? thinking of selling my heavy steel stands and going to a run and gun setup. also need suggestions on some light sticks? anyone try the xstand mantis sticks? Lone wolf sticks and xops seem to be the top of the line but also top of the $$$
If you buy a lone wolf hang on you won't regret it. Love it way more than my hawk helium. You can save money by buying hawk helium sticks instead of lw sticks if you want. It's what I did and I like having a step on both sides. Sent from my iPhone using Bowhunting.com Forums
If you get the millennium I would recommend getting the receiver that mounts to the tree w it.... I have the m100 (I think that's the model) and it comes w a chain and I have found it can be a PITA to attach to a tree. Very comfy stand though I have Hawk climbing sticks and would recommend them.
I just bought the helium sticks, I like the steps on both sides, weight is very close to LW and a lot lower price point Sent from my iPhone using Bowhunting.com Forums
I have both the Lone Wolf Assault and Millennium M7. Both stands are great. I did make a few mods to the Millennium though. I'm not a fan of the ratchet straps, so I switched those out to the Lone Wolf straps. I also added a second strap at the bottom the M7 with a lone wolf versa button. The versa button required some additional work but with some tweaks i think I have it golden now. I mounted the Versa button using this https://www.grainger.com/product/POLYMERSHAPES-Rod-2XPA4?searchBar=true&searchQuery=2xpa4 and cut it to size.

(Most hardware stores have them)
this is a great, great idea! the M7 is my favorite hang-on but I also am not a huge fan of the ratchet.
I have an XOP Vanish stand, which is comparable to the Lone Wolf Assault. I use the Hawk Helium sticks, which I like for the above mentioned reasons. Keep in mind I'm 63 yrs old and I can put this combo up, by myself in about 6-8 minutes. I really like both items Blessings...........Pastorjim
