So you're suggesting the 20in long versions are the most solid? I thought I read the shorter 14in ones were the most solid.

The most solid out of the 3 lwcg steps ? but how about comparing them to other sticks like a 20 beast?. Believe me i want a reason to buy these but the 17 left a bad taste in my mouth as far as tree stability enough so that even thier packability wasnt enough. Only going by the above pic but that seems like a lot of stick below the attachment point
I would go 14 inch would be most solid and 20’ would be worse than 17. The kick out seek to be cause by the amsteel to tight after weight was applied to the stick.So you're suggesting the 20in long versions are the most solid? I thought I read the shorter 14in ones were the most solid.

The 14” are just like the 17”. Gotta use a cam buckle or truckers hitch.
The 20” have a bit of flex to them which puts pressure on the bottom stand-off bolts and they stick like glue to the tree.
I would highly recommend taking a carbide burr in the Dremmel tool to those tabs and all the edges the amsteel come into contact with as there is no chamfer whatever on the edges. I took me about an hour to make four of them acceptable for use. This is my only complaint with these sticks as otherwise they are the Berries.I used amsteal rope mod on the tabs. Took the buttons off.

Can you send some pics on what you meant ?
Taking all of the sharp edges off where the rope or strap contacts the stick. It becomes much less likely to damage your attachment to the tree.Can you send some pics on what you meant ?
Ok so your saying that area will be super sharp ? You think for the money they would take care of this ? I've called them 6 times and left voice-mails and yet no call back. I'm saying right now very disappointed in their customer service ..
Tried that as well before I called them a few times.. I mainly want to know what the lead time means .. if it says 3 weeks does that mean I'll have them in 3 weeks ? Or longer than 3 weeks.
Or a file.
