If you were buying the new Shikar sticks which length would you go with and why?
I'm 5'10" and am thinking the 20" may be the way to go. I have the Beast sticks now and the step spacing isn't an issue now but it may become one some day.How tall are you? I’m 5’7 and would choose the 20” personally.

I'm unsure at this point, but leaning toward 17". My main reason is when they are packed down, they are still 27" and packability is my main reason for switching from full length lone wolf sticks. Any longer step to step and they will be just as long as my LW when packed. The difference between 17" and 20" over four sticks is only a foot in climbing height. I think I can easily make up for that by spacing my sticks further apart up the tree, including a branch to step on during my climb or using aiders.
