I have treetop Typhoon on the way. The bottom step on the ion was my favorite part. The Typhoon looks like exactly what I am looking for.

I have degenerative disc disease so the last couple discs in my back are trashed. I don’t have the flexibility at the waist anymore. So I only use the bottom step climbing so I can easily reach the top of the stick to make a move. I like the foot relief of the platform on the bottom. Not to mention the balance of the stick. Just my preference I guess.

I like their Cyclone, but the Hunt Arsenal one looks good too.

So from what I can tell it comes with a bunch of extras and they are donating a strategically unspecified amount from each bow to a veterans charity. So this is where that price point is coming from from what I read. Still really high pricing, but I know people who pay $5000 for a 1911 or a Taran Tactical AR-15 because it says John Wick on it.

Yea I saw… comes with a pelican case, some ridiculous floor stand and accessories. I like the looks/specs of the bow but not doing that. I would be interested in the bare bow though
 
Above my pay grade but I don’t hate it. If you’ve got 4k to buy a bow you get one that’s pretty unique, comes with the display stand to show it off in your foyer, a coin to use as a ball marker when you putt at the country club, and the case you need to fly to the governors sheep hunt. Donation to folds of honor makes it a write off I think.
 
Guess we're looking to start breaking some stuff to keep up with the featherweight mkt...

I’ve never wanted see if @enkriss could break something so bad. But doesn’t need to be anything extra, just step on them to bend or break them like you have all the other equipment. We need apples to apples results.

Also, we need to compile a kill list of all the equipment @enkriss has ever broken and then we can start taking formal bets on which equipment will succumb to him next. We can also start bets on which sub components we think will fail.

Death by @enkriss:
Tethrd predator gen 2 platform?
Skeletor stick gen 1
Tethrd one stick gen 1
Beast stand 2x times
arsenal rzr 2.0
nested rails
beast sticks
XOP vanish xt
XOP 3 step sticks
Hawk sticks
OOAL ridge runner
big bob

Edited for accuracy

Never owned a gen 1 Predator. Did not break a Shikar and only bent 2 beast stands.

The list is much longer than this… but you can add arsenal rzr 2.0, nested rails, beast sticks, XOP vanish xt, XOP 3 step sticks, Hawk sticks, OOAL ridge runner, big bob… I can’t think of anything else at the moment
 
I like the looks of the compact double but the aider looks like it would be weird being offset to one side

You should also list a few things that you KNOW that you would never try. Like the OOAL one stick platform for the Tethrd One Stick.

Well…. I really don’t want to do that. People will get their feelings hurt…lol

You would be surprised the eyes this forum has on it. I post a broken product or subpar product and state what I think. I have gotten messages, emails and phone calls from companies. I have even been threatened with lawsuits. So… not sure I should say much at this point.
