High end sticks

On the completed stick, I don't see an option for choosing, only if you diy can you choose to have the anodized finish or not. I guess it's up to you, if you want to leave as silver or paint it with rustoleum. The anodized is more pretty is what it comes down to and should wear better than diy paint. But it's totally cosmetic.

Here is the completed stick, on sale at the moment:

Have no experience with the ewo stick, but I'd avoid the beasts. All 5 of my sticks have bent brackets. I'm likely going to sell my Shikars as I find them too fiddly. Got Catalyst sticks on the way I'm anxious to try out

That's the only ones that I see. The carbon fiber are still "coming soon." You get a bit of a discount if you buy multiple. More info here.

Great White Buffalo — Catalyst Outdoors

The highest quality, American made, billet aluminum stick on the market. The Great White Buffalo starts its life as a 1x10x23 inch piece of 6061-T6 aluminum, and is then CNC machined into the animal it is. We then tumble and grit blast the stick to ensure there are no sharp edges. Add a Cerakote fin

Another vote for EWO. I own both. I am biased being from MI and like to support MI companies, but I also feel the EWO sticks are superior. I only use three sticks most of the time and usually only two with a versa aider and a Cranford screw in step in between the two sticks, so stacking inline is not make or break to me. If you were packing 4-5 sticks in it may be a bigger deal. I have a 15" EWO on order for a one stick set up. The standoffs are glorious and make them the best stick IMO.

Speaking of high end sticks. I am pretty sure what I am about to do is illegal in all fifty states and most Canadian provinces.

I would like to see them do the TMA test at double the rating on the beast sticks. I bet they fold up like a pretzel.
