    Overwatch Orion

    Thanks for the feedback - starting to lean that way.

    Overwatch Orion

    Hey guys - hope I can get some feedback from all of you on the belt. I'm having Jamie build me an Orion soon. I was set on getting the raptor buckle for the belt, but reading through here it seems like guys really like the rope belt. Any feedback from those who have used both would be...

    2 sticks (EWO) vs. 3 and platform

    I would say it's a combination of both. I was carrying 4 sticks and a stand in and the idea of 2 sticks and a platform being attached to one of them or even 3 14" sticks seems like it would be a better fit for my hunting style. I already sold the beast sticks - being a gear junkie like you...

    2 sticks (EWO) vs. 3 and platform

    Not sure how it's any more metal than the 4 beast sticks and lwcg .5 I used last year.

    2 sticks (EWO) vs. 3 and platform

    Looking for some feedback. Thinking about doing 2 EWO sticks (1 - 1 stick w/ UP platform and 1 featherweight stick with cam cleat both with 3 step ultimaiders) or 3 lwcg double step 14" sticks with 1 step aiders and fix platform. Both are similar price and I'm thinking with the 3 step...

    Flat UP.

    Thanks - makes sense and good to know. I thought about the Scout for quick hunts, but I don't mind the additional weight of the UP. I think I may end up trying a few different versions of the stick until I find what works for me.

    Flat UP.

    What did you like better about the Scout? I could see that being an option for short sits but anything over a few hours and I’d feel like I’d want something bigger. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Flat UP.

    I'm 9.5 so I may have a little more space yet :). I'm going to give the flat a shot first and if I think I need more of an angle I'll order the angled to try.

    Flat UP.

    Thanks Doug - really appreciate that. I'm about a half hour north of Pittsburgh, but we have a camp out towards Potter and I'm out in central PA every so often fly fishing. Will definitely reach out if I'm in the area, but in the mean time I'm going to order the Flat. I hunted off a LWCG .5...

    Flat UP.

    might have to buy both and sell whatever one i don't like. i lean way more, but the extra real estate to pivot and stand on for the flat version is making me question if i should get the angled version or not.

    Flat UP.

    thanks for the feedback Doug - thought the name looked familiar...i've messaged you over on the PA forum on AT. i was close to pulling the trigger on the angled version, but concerned about the useable space. i'm 80% leaner / 20% sitter, but sounds like the flat might be the way to go even for...

    OOAL Monarch Angled on Beast Mini Stick?

    From what I can see on the website - there is an option for either or...one is flat and one is angled.

    OOAL Monarch Angled on Beast Mini Stick?

    Yeah - using 4 minis. Was going to put the monarch on the top stick. If they didn't stack with the platform, I would just carry 1 stick in with me and strap the other ones to my pack.

    OOAL Monarch Angled on Beast Mini Stick?

    Good deal - thanks for the feedback! Hadn't considered the flat version for standing, but there may be some benefit to using that version. Any modifications to attach to a beast stick? Also - how does using this handle side pressure? I am attaching my beast sticks with strap only method and...

    OOAL Monarch Angled on Beast Mini Stick?

    Anyone install a OOAL Monarch Slanted on a Beast Mini Stick? Currently using a .5 as my "platform", but looking for something to use on 2-3 hour hunts. May eventually go to an UOS, but it will be after the season. I am 95% a leaner and rarely sit so the angled platform seems like the best option.

    Ditching TX5 for Latitude Classic 2?

    Very good feedback and much appreciated! That Lonestar sounds tempting. I'll probably ride with the Reaper this season and maybe check out the Lonestar afterwards as I doubt I would get it during the season anyways.

    Ditching TX5 for Latitude Classic 2?

    Thanks for the feedback everyone. I guess when I stated cost effective it was more I could probably sell my TX5 Reaper buy a Classic 2 and have a little money left over in my pocket. The TX5 is doing everything I want it to at this point. I went with cordura, but questioned if mesh would be...

    Ditching TX5 for Latitude Classic 2?

    Hey guys - first year saddle hunting. Got on the the wait list for TX5 and got one earlier this summer. I've been out hunting with it a few times and for being a newbie it's been a very nice, comfortable saddle. I'd say I've become hooked in a short amount of time. In typical fashion, I'm...

    Shikar, LWCG, or Beast Sticks?

    Thanks for all the feedback guys - glad I didn't pull the trigger on the LWCG doubles. Looks like it will be Shikars or Mini Beast Sticks. The Tethrd Ones look interesting too, but I know they probably won't be available for a little while. My goal is to get down to 2 sticks and use some...

    Shikar, LWCG, or Beast Sticks?

    Thanks for the feedback - I was leaning toward the fixed version of the Shikar instead of the LWCG double step. It will attach all the same to my .5 once I strap it down.
