Heard enough to convince me. So for run-n-gun, if you were going to spent the cash, get the best, what seems to work well for most?
When I 1st heard about bolts I thought it sounded like a combination of tree damage and a pain to install. Then a buddy showed me an old Woodpecker drill. I was amazed at how easily it drilled holes.
I then started to realize drilling didn't do any more damage to the tree than the EZ Climb Deluxe that I'd used for the last few decades. I also realized that maple tappers bored holes in trees for years with no problems.
If screw ins are legal where you hunt, then bolts are a no brainer.
One other thing that I hadn't considered is the comparison of bolts to screw ins in my pack. Bolts are quieter, lighter, and more compact.
Everyone should have sticks or WE type system in their bag of tricks but if you can use screw ins, get a Treehopper drill and grade 8 bolts...maybe even carbon.
