    Why do I fall apart at distance?

    One thing that seems to help me the most is to stop shooting targets. I have about 5 acres of yard and there are oak leaves everywhere. I just walk around and pick out leaves to shoot. Never the same distance twice in a row. I shoot one arrow and go get it and repeat. I’m usually pretty close...

    One Stick and Hang On Stand

    This is how I hunted all year and don’t see changing anything for next season. I one stick with a muddy pro with a one step aider. I climb with my Windwalker on my back and hang it once I’m at desired height. I sit most of the hunt with my bow in my lap. If I decide to stand for a little while...

    WTB or trade gear for Loc On Wind Walker

    I’ve got a tree hopper Recon sling saddle. I’m not sure of the size I’m a 32-33 inch waist and it’s a little big on me. I’ve got WE steps and I’ve got ROS on a over center buckle. They are the made by tree hopper. If you don’t need any of that stuff I’ve got cash. Let me know.

    Prusik Knot on Tether from Muddy Safety Harness

    Barrel knots are what you use to tie a prussic. Just remember that it will be a good bit shorter because of how much rope it takes to tie knots.

    Critique my system request

    I also wanted to love rappelling too. I’m a firefighter so I’m not new to rappelling and feel comfortable doing it. I played with all of my rappelling stuff today and compared it to one sticking down and found out that I’m just as fast one sticking down. If you consider getting the rope down and...

    DIY for hip pinch

    I really like the idea and the design. I could see this being a possible fix for hip pinch. But I feel like in the 2.0 version there could be a potential hazard in the 2 points of metal contact on the carabiner. With the right amount of side pressure I think the carabiner would become weak and...

    Tether climbing?

    I basically use this method as a self rescue to come down incase I loose my stick while one sticking. It works well for that. But compared to one sticking, it is slower and a lot more work in my opinion.

    How I use the Wild Edge Stepps

    I think I used this method once last year. I mainly use the one stick method now. I have a video on this site that shows how I use the one stick method. Also @boyne bowhunter uses a method similar to mine that I like alot as well. If you try the WE method please be careful, there are times when...

    ROS vs Platform

    I've tried platforms. They weren't for me. I like me feet to be on each side of the tree or one foot in front and one to the side. The most comfortable to me is 3 WE steps. 3o clock, 6 o'clock, 9 o'clock.

    Wild edge vs one stick method

    I started out with paracord tied to my RCH and then to my stick. That didn’t work well because it kept getting tangled. Now I carry about a 5ft. Piece of tubular webbing with a loop in each end. I keep it in my leg pocket so I can get to it easy. If I loose my stick, I can teather the webbing...

    Wild edge vs one stick method

    If you have trees with a lot of limbs. I like the WE steps. If you have strait limbless trees or few limbs, I prefer the one stick method. Whatever method you use, just plan on giving yourself about 30 minutes extra and take your time climbing.

    Handclimber to Backpack

    Thanks for sharing Loyd! Seems like a good way to tote the hand climber. I may give this method of climbing another try.

    Buckingham Tree Squeeze

    I actually got the chance two weeks ago to train with a local power company. All the linesman are required now to use a squeeze similar to that setup. They hooked me up with a set of spurs and let me give it a try. I cut out twice on a 20ft climb. Those power poles are slick.The belt caught me...

    Top of stick

    I used the top of my muddy stick and two WE steps as a platform all season. Worked good for me.

    Video on how I one stick

    This method is what I have used the most this season. Ive used the WE step method on a few hunts. The one stick method allows me to climb as high as I want. That’s what really made me try the one stick. The weight was just an added bonus. When I one stick , I use the top of my stick as my...
