it came! I’ll throw an aider on it tomorrow and mess around with it tomorrow night. So far I’m liking the tight little package.

ok so I got a second tonight to swap the aider. Easily has me at 5-6 feet depending on hard I wanna stretch that first step. I’m hoping for three moves then onto my platform for about 16-18 feet.

That's cool bro, let us know how you like it? I'm probably going to order mine tomorrow. Going with the crowd nest for the top and the lookout on the bottom. Going to go with a 3 step aider. I didn't see any info for the standoffs on that stick. Do you know who make them? Do they seem decent?

They seem to be thicker than the standoffs on my novix sticks but I do not know who makes them. What I can say is my novix sticks are 4 inches from the stand-off to the front of the step. These are 5 inches so gaining room there

I had read that Ooal was making the steps and platform. I didn't realize they were making the standoffs also. Thanks. Also didn't see a weight rating on their website either?

Have you had them on a tree yet? How's the bite?

I just received mine today. Crow's nest on top and Lookout on bottom with a 2 step aider. It looks like a really high quality product. I know OOAL makes the Crows nest and lookout step but am not sure about the stand offs. I won't get it on a tree anytime right off as I have about 2 feet of snow here but I can't wait to try it out. I might be forced to shovel a path to my practice tree in the yard this weekend lol.

That's ok, like I was saying, I'll probably order mine tomorrow and probably play around with it all spring and summer. It will be my 1 stick introduction. Good luck with yours. Let us know how it goes.

I believe they are XOP standoffs

as with all my other stuff, it wouldn’t be complete without a camo job. With its texture sit took the first coat amazingly, may not even need a second. I’ll. Heck it in an hour and see if it need another coat, then add the sponge painting tomorrow.
