    Wow, great deal. Had I not bought the lone wolf sticks late last year I would definitely have a hard time passing these up.

    I have the Helium sticks and love em. I am not a fan of single sided steps personally and is one of the reasons I decided to try the Helium sticks. Lightweight and have seemed extremely solid in construction and quiet.

    I've only manipulated and held Lone Wolfs and XOP not used in the field and IMO the Hawks feel as well constructed, tick heavier if memory serves but still plenty light for packing.

    Worth checking out if someone is considering stick options.

    MSRP is 99.99 but the price is listed for 109.99? I don't get it. Steps for 64 would be a hard deal to pass up.

    I've learned that when a deal seems crazy, JUMP on it. One year I bought over $400 worth of Scentlok for $100 due to this on a Black Friday at 12:10am...was corrected at around 1:00am. Bought 5 Muck boots last year for nearly shipping cost on Amazon lol!

    Gotta jump!

    Not terribly new, starting gaining serious traction I'd say around 2015....not sure when they actually launched though.

    I've never seen one of their ladders so definitely let me know! I gotta get a couple for Pops I think as ladders are becoming easier for him to set in for hours than tall hangons. Also got a spot where elevation needed is only a mere 12-16 feet and ladder would be fine.

    just bought a set of 3, should be here tomorrow, sounds like guys get 12-14' which is about right for me anyhow; cheapest I could find them was for $100 with free shipping at simmons sporting goods; midway has them for $28 and change a piece but on B/O

    I bought a set of 3 helium from cabelas, then found a store from google that sold 1 separate for I think about $35. My opinion you need 4. They are awesome sticks.

    The ladder stand is really nice. Well made. Well designed. I would buy their stuff again.

    Good deal. We have a spot next year we want to get Pops a ladder behind the house for quick slip in and out hunts. Hawk is probably going to be the choice.

    setup the sticks this weekend, they do nest together nicely, got up around 14' with the 3, i maybe able to stretch them a hair more if i push it, i'm about 6' if that helps anyone; i'm going to start the season with the 3 and see how that works out...

    I really like the look and feel of Hawk products. I haven't used any of them in the field yet, I only have Lone Wolf right now. But whether it be hawk, or LW, I always find 3 sticks to be too few. I like to get as high up as I can and found myself buying additional singles to make up two 4 piece sets. This gets me to where I want to be!

    Research adding a rope step below each. Easy quiet method to at least getting a few more feet out of three. I know a guy that doesn't like doing this with any of them other than the first...but he can grab another foot or two just by adding that to the bottom step.
