Tethrd One Sticks Gen 2

I will say as much as I bash this company, it does sound like their taking care of the customers with the warrantys. Every company there ever was has made a dud from time to time. Its how you respond to it that makes the company.
My original beasts bent like silly putty. Mario made it right quickly. That's what I'm looking for in a company

The beast gear customer service is now terrible. They must of had to replace to much broken crap. I won’t be buying anything from them in the future.

My reply was to the rivet breaking or glue failing, not the fact that the stick did not work. I don’t recall Tethrd ever stating that glue was used to hold the Dynalock button on, mabee the steps but never the button.
Has anyone else had issues with a stick breaking out of the thousands of ONE sticks sold? If a step has a little wobble doesn’t mean it has failed, if that were the case there was thousands of guys last season that climbed all hunting season long with broken sticks… how can you climb 2 to 3 times a day for 7-45 days of hunting with a stick that has failed and is broken?
Yes if the sticks came apart it failed, but a little wobble, no.

The images from the hunting beast website shows a Tethrd One Stick with the dynalok button facing the standoffs.

I don’t care what’s supposed to hold the bracket in place so long as it stays there and works.

Clearly, fail.

Dude, they sent you a stick without an essential life supporting rivet. According to you.
 
If we discount the quality issues and Tethrd.
I dont see this stick as aider friendly. Dosent look to me that you could use a Versa style aider, cable aider or a naider swader.
I personally like a versa style aider.
Aiders attached to the stick may swing in the wind, and I have been told they can alert deer.

What happened? Also I'm curious why the beast stuff has been on sale for so long especially during peak season? They floundering?

I'd pay even more than they are charging now if they could figure out how to make them not wobble and get rid of that dumb roll pin.

I remember riding carnival rides as a kid and noticing only cotter pins were keeping me alive. Don't want to return to that.

Lol, don't fly in small airplanes .....most everything in the fuselage is held together by "glue".

Hard to say if the stick failed or if there was no rivet in the back of the Dynalock button in the first place.
Last year I received one Gen1 stick that was new and had no rivet in the Dynalock button, so I contacted Tethrd and they sent me a replacement stick.

when saddle hunters spend a lot of money, they are used to something that gives them confidence, not 'well, it seems to work'

we are only aware of a small handful of the tethrd sticks sold, so we might not know about some massive failure

further, things that aren't super well built go along for a while without massive failures all the time

lastly, using something that makes you uneasy because you haven't heard of a major failure isn't great reasoning for those more risk averse

Someone asked if there had been a failure of any Gen 1 or Gen 2 ONE sticks and I am sharing what I found. However folks want to interpret those findings is up to them I suppose.

I'm not here to say anyone's Tethrd One sticks will fail, or won't, either.

I will say that I don't accept the wobble, the thought process of "breaking in sticks" seems obtuse to me, and I don't have a lot of confidence given the way Tethrd manages narrative.

Yet, there is a lot I like about the concepts Tethrd is using for these sticks. For example the the way standoffs and button are captured around the tube. It's been a problem for them but at the same time if it could be done really well, it is a strong design. Probably in the case of the detached dynalok button, it saved this dude's ass.

Looks good def the aider I'd use if I had those sticks. Versa aider is by far the best on the market. No idea how people can continue to use cable aiders when the versa is infinitly lighter, more compact, stays connected to your foot. Locks in nicely when you push your toes into the bark. There's no disadvantages

yep, people's impression and advice is embedded in their own risk assessment

someone that, for instance, rides motorcycles on the road all the time without a helmet (something I would never do), are going to see standing on a roll pin as no big deal

their interpretation and advice is largely dependent upon that personality characteristic

so 'no one i know of has been hurt yet' is cold comfort and not a way that i primarily evaluate risk

of course, i take track record into account, but it is far from only way i view things

for instance, motley crue members never died or got HIV, despite taking a lot of risks over and over for years

are we then to take their past behaviors as reasonably safe? or rather do we think that there was a good bit of lady luck on their side?
 
Has the top or the attachment point broke on them yet?
