    Simple answer here. #1, it's not constantly exposed to UV rays and changes in temperatures. #2 the amount of weight is distributed much differently in a car seat vs. a step that I'm going to put all my wight on a 1" wide by 4" long piece of plastic.

    Good idea, but not nearly worth the cost in my opinion. Plastic is made cheaply enough, it can crack and can wear easily. Not for me.

    IMO its a bad concept. I want to limit my setup time, not increase it. I also want to limit the number of individual items I carry. Not to mention the amount of noise I make during setup. LW sticks with a rope /buckle-less modification is by far the best setup. Even if I were to carry the sticks with the steps attached there are still certain instances where I would need to move them around. I also don't see much of a advantage with the leverage system as I have no problem seating any sticks I own now.

    Definitely don't want any part of that click / snap sound. I could also potentially see where moisture / cold temps could come into play.

    Send me a set and I'll try them out. I will certainly let you know if I was wrong. :)

    For that price I think LW is the better option

    Plastic and cold no matter how you treat it is a bad idea along with some assembly required in the field and a same price point for a safer stick = not for me

    They look cool. I would like them better if it had steps that just folded down maybe. Price is to steep for me though....lol. Nice looking anyway

    All this cold weather worrying has my head spinning... This composite is designed to handle cold better than any hunter ever can. If they are out in -40 hunting....some good ideas that need to be proven to all the neigh sayers!

    sorry I NOT paid to sale them.

    I only posted up this new product because I'm looking to get a more mobile system. I had lw sticks stolen from me and my son set ups. (we took the 1st stick out with us)

    WOW !!! Theres tons of people saying '' oh no way '' and stating all the faults of a product that they have ZERO experience with !!! I would never imagine anything like that happening on BH. If the BH crowd spent as much time testing products and then giving a review of it as they did jumping on the doubting bashers bandwagon every time a new bow or product came out, half or more of the people on here would actually learn something and they would be speaking from experience.

    There is no way you are not associated with the product the way you are reacting towards people's comments. You can keep saying your not and some one is going to raise the BS flag :evilgrin:

    You should be happy, you can share these comments/concerns with your marketing and product development teams and plan how to market around these concerns or improve on what you've got going.

    I'm really happy to see someone competing with LW and I like the look of the flip up tree bracket and how it tightens the stick to the tree. I'm just not sure of the removable foot pegs.
