Have you guys seen this video? I think these companies are going way too far trying to get lighter and lighter. They are removing so much material that it's getting dangerous! I haven't seen this platform in person but my first initial thought of it when I saw it back in early summer was that it looked light weight and kinda shintzy.

That’s from 4+ months ago.

You should have seen the way XOP handled that one on FB. They went after him full force it was absolutely disgraceful. I won’t ever buy another XOP product seeing how they handled that.

That's terrible to hear that. I'm glad that that happened in his backyard and not while hw was actually hunting at height. XOP should be ashamed of themselves!

At the Mobile Expo they sold alot of these sticks. Some hunters are going to get hurt on this junk.

I don't know why anyone would buy XOP or hawk products ever. I tried out their cheap saddle and platform. It was garbage. The platform was ok but weighed 18lbs (sarcasm). The saddle was just the worst(no sarcasm)
