    Tethrd Skeletor Sticks

    Thanks @Pyronole for including the torque specs. I just received my upgraded standoffs yesterday and am installing them today. One thing I didn’t catch in the comparison @Rutman posted is that the new standoffs already come chamfered to help reduce the chance of the standoff bearing the load...

    Tethrd Skeletor Sticks

    Sending me 4 for the lower standoffs. If any of the tops have issues I’ll definitely reach out to them again. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Tethrd Skeletor Sticks

    Thanks! Looks like a beefed up version of the same design. I used mine on a 5 day hunt where we moved around a lot and noticed them starting to bend. I saw this thread and sent them an email to which they responded quickly. Replacements are being shipped. I don’t climb with my gear to avoid...

    Tethrd Skeletor Sticks

    I see mine are bending too. Can you post pics of new vs old? I’ll be interested how the new hold up. I really like these sticks and don’t want issues. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Who has removed leg straps? Any regrets?

    Risk is far too great to remove. I had a mishap while one-sticking last year where they saved me. While ascending the tree, my one-stick fell out of reach when I was detaching it to make the next leap and my butt slid out from the lower panel of my 2-panel saddle. If not for the leg straps I...

    Tethrd Skeletor Sticks

    I bent a hawk helium lower standoff and bolt this way on my 1-stick setup this archery season. I’m close to 300# and didn’t set the stick well so when I placed my weight on the stick it was the lower standoff gripping the tree and holding my weight instead of the rope. Replaced the bolt with a...

    One stick for one stick’n bigger fellas

    I’m using a 20” hawk helium with hawk HSP platform on it at 300#. I will say that I believe I have an older model stick that had weaker hardware and I ended up bending the bolt that attaches the lower standoff. I could still use it, but the standoff was tilted up towards the platform and I...

    Hawk helium kick out

    I’ve had some slight shifting if I attach it to the tree and the bottom stand off doesn’t make full contact, but never a kick out. I’m using 6mm accessory cord as a rope mod. I always pull the bottom of the stick away from the tree and then downwards to seat it snuggly. I don’t think the bottom...

    SRT Climbing using a Guide ATC

    I found the ATC guide to be pretty nice for SRT, but as previously mentioned it can be a pain to switch from ascent to descent. I tried both using the toggle with a binder or sling and transition in and out of guide mode while suspended. I always used a 3rd hand below it for safety. Another con...

    Strap Broke, Self Rescue, Saw a Big Buck

    I agree, Charlie. I have tested self-rescue close to the ground with the ATC guide, friction hitches, figure 8, and ascenders like the ropeman. I, personally, found it pretty difficult to transfer my weight from one system to another. Have even gotten stuck while testing self-rescue! For this...

    How many one stickers also hunt from the one stick vs. carry a platform/ROS?

    One stick using a hawk helium 20” stick with an HSP platform on top, 3 step EWO ultimaiders, and rope mod. Chose this setup as it was more budget friendly and also available at the time lol. The HSP platform is not very comfortable for long hunts, but gets the job done. I’ve been very happy with...
