This is kind of a non sequitur.Buy once cry once. Beast sticks. Holes. Stealth strip them. You’re done for years. Don’t let the weight debate fool you. If you are worried about an extra three pounds over the course of several miles then you may need to look into other hobbies.

I understand. I come from a harsher background and long distance western hunting.I'll agree to disagree. I often walk 4 mile round trip on a typical hunt. The extra 4# I save by carrying lighter sticks makes a difference. I hunt with a light, carbon bow, for the same reason. In fact, weight is the primary reason I switched to saddle hunting and use a ROS. I'm glad to be done carrying a 10# climber or hang-on.
Do you only shoot yearling deer because they are lighter to carry out of the woods?I'll agree to disagree. I often walk 4 mile round trip on a typical hunt.

I walked / scouted over 12 miles 2 Friday 's ago and when I set up for the evening hunt I was happy I had my beast and mission platform for comfort in the stand. Then the last 2 miles I had about 80lbs of meat and bone on my back.

That’s a good question. And the answer is kind of individual. Consider this: If money matters to you the most, buy the no hole version. If weight matters the most to you, buy the hole version. (0.2 pounds per stick = 3 oz per stick; the difference for 4 sticks is 0.8 pounds and $80.).For the price difference holes vs no holes is the extra $20 worth it just to cut 2oz off each stick?
Back to the OP's original question. Yes Chuck, I did a black Friday order for the no hole stick mini on the 26th, and received on Dec 1. Excellent quality throughout. I think you can expect the same because once a solid model files are done for the step piece parts the files can be loaded into machine shop milling machines to duplicate with similar accuracy. Metal prices and the cost of aluminum alone these days, the BF prices were/are a steal IMO. Don't miss out.Hey guys I’m looking to upgrade to a set up beast sticks. They are all pre order at the moment. $59.99ea for no holes and $79.99ea with holes. Has any ordered any from them lately? Just curious
