You goob, send a link of the video, this picture is only a tease! Haha
Following. Looks to be smaller than the assault. When is the full reveal of it coming out?
Dang you think? I'm really hoping it's smaller. Somewhere between an assault and a 0.5 would be awesomeLooks to be an assault. I heard “mini assault” but I think it’s assault size.
Novix: “Our lightest stand ever!”
Everyone is thinking: ”But you only have ever had 1 treestand?”
I feel like it is and we're all geting catfishedHopefully its not an 11lb Assault 2 with the bow holder removed and Novix re-badged.....

There is a company working on bringing them back.Not to derail the thread but why aren't Loc-on stands still a thing? They were just as light if not lighter than recent offerings. I feel this road has already been traveled down once but maybe I'm missing something.
P.S. @peteherbst I'll only take 5% commission if your Loc-on in the classifieds sells soon after this post....
In Missouri I’ve had both limit and windwalker pop and creek in cold weather. Amazing stands but, I can confirm those things happening.There is a company working on bringing them back.
But, the decline and delayed rebirth is mainly due to the successful advertising of D'Acquisto, Infalt, and others who toute the advantages of cast (or lately machined) stands. They offered an "advantage" over hollow tubing and welded expanded metal that is allegedly noisy and prone to popping in the extreme cold. Neither of which has really ever been an issue for me or anybody I've hunted with in the southeast. And the loc-on style grating and hollow tubing seems to be cheaper and stronger. Pros and cons, but cast is over-hyped. Loc-on and Chippewa both make good stands that just don't have the marketing edge Lone Wolf, Novix, OOAL, Beast Gear or LWCG do.
I look forward to their return and really hope at some point somebody uses what we've learned over the decades to make a good and light climber from tubing, expanded metal, and fabric.
