I am brand new the the saddle world. I have 3 of the 3 step hawk helium’s. I like to hunt as high as possible so should get more stick or should I try out aiders?
I have the same sticks I carry 3 and I use a 2 step aider from amsteel. I easily get to about 18ft to my platform with that set up. Could probably stretch it a little higher too. This coming season I’m planning on only carrying 2 30” hawks and a couple silent approach steps to lighten my pack. I can get the same height.I am brand new the the saddle world.

Where did you get your amsteel aiders? Did you find it difficult to get used to using aiders?I have the same sticks I carry 3 and I use a 2 step aider from amsteel.

From what I've seen thats what people do. The one I'm borrowing now from a friend is looped through and the bight is hooked onto the outside of the step. I'm at work or is take a picture. Seems to work well though the second time I went to climb on it when I put my foot in I quickly found out it had lossened and came off the edge of the step. Easy to reattach but definitely something to check before you put your foot inGuys...what is the general consensus on the safety of running aiders through the holes on the hawk helium steps.
Is there enough "meat" there to support an average guys weight?
