    One Sticking with Scout Platform

    I am in the process of building a OneStick after a year of thinking about it. I ordered a Scout platform during the sale…but I plan to put it on the bottom of my stick, with a EWO doublestep on top. What are your thoughts on this? Stick length? Optimal placement of cam cleat on the stick...

    Where Do Platforms Go From Here?

    Hoping to stir up a good discussion. What are your thoughts about where platforms are or should go from here? Lighter, more compact, different dimensions? Any choice immediately brings its trade offs. You can’t eat your cake and have it too (yes, that’s the right way to say that. I’ve read...

    6mm TRC Rope Mods

    Has anyone changed from Amsteel to TRC or similarly sized rope for rope mods? I am considering going this route this fall. Does anyone create sewn eyes with 6mm TRC or similar ropes? Thanks

    OOAL Ridge Runner 2.0 Mods

    I don’t hear much at all about this platform even though the consensus (and I’d agree) is that OOAL product are top notch quality. I’m thinking of trying the RR 2.0 but I know I’d want to mod it slightly. Anyone had one and swapped out the top stand-off with an EWO or something else? Also...

    EWO Standoffs with Beast Doublesteps??

    Hear me out. I love my EWO sticks, especially the foot room I have with the standoffs. However, I don't love the off-set stacking. Is it possible to use Beast doublesteps in combination with Dano's standoffs? Would the EWO standoffs fit correctly in the notch of the Beast double steps to...

    Badlands Superday Users

    I’ve had a Badlands Superday for almost 10 years now. It may not be the perfect pack for saddle hunting, but it’s what I’ve got and too many other needs to think about a more specialized pack right now. So for those who also saddle hunt with a Superday (I know there are a few on here) how are...

    Shikar FXD’s

    I currently have a set of EWO sticks with their Standoffs and Doublesteps. Very high quality sticks. My only complaints are that I didn’t order. 4th, didn’t go with the anodized version, and that I ordered them at 24”. You live and learn, but man are these still sweet. But I’m thinking of...

    Cutting Down the Mission

    I realize a lot of guys were cutting their Mission platforms until the EDP came out. However, I am 100% unsure what size platform will work best for me. My thoughts were to buy the Mission. If I do want a smaller platform, I could then cut it down. Looking for others and pics of who have...

    Aluma/Versabutton Options?

    Putting my DIY platform together in the shop today with a few friends. I decided I wanted to use another button on my post for my platform. All of my sticks are EWO components and I am happy with the build quality there. I’d like to order another alumabutton but thought there might be other...

    Lone Wolf Seat Platform Build

    Trying to direct this questions towards guys who have done a DIY platform build with a Lone Wolf Alpha/Assault seat (or similar) and are using 2 standoffs with a cam buckle. I have gathered all of my parts, but would like to hear how far up from the bottom you are drilling your hole to attach...

    Amsteel Aiders

    Finally placed my order of sticks and rope from DanO Tuesday of this week. They were on my porch this afternoon. What’s not to like about that. I elected to go with 1/4” Amsteel for some rope mods, but also ordered enough 1/4” to make my own aiders. Question is, now looking at it, should I have...

    DIY Lone Wolf Seat Platform

    I’ve seen several posts listing some of the ways that guys have modded LW Alpha/Assault seats into platforms. While I know there are other ways to go and some prefer those over the LW seat, I think this is where I am going to start. I was hoping for some more pics/details on how you have set up...

    DIY or Beast Sticks

    Trying to decide on a particular route to go. I looked around and decided what I wanted in a set of sticks. Beast Sticks are the closest production set I have found to how I would build them. Just to be thorough, I priced out a DIY set from EWO and as pricey as the Beast Sticks are, by the time...

    New saddle hunter in south central Tennessee

    I’m new to the saddle game and was sent here by the guys who got me interested. Been bow hunting for 18 years or so and finally realized I had become a lazy hunter. Switching things up considerably this year with both where and how I hunt. Already picked up quite a bit of good info here and...
