Hawk helium sticks painted

Looks pretty cool to me. I painted mine recently too.

This is my paint paint job. Wasn’t trying to hide them on the tree as much as I was just trying to make them look cool. Hah.

n honestly those blend in so well I couldn’t see the middle set of steps and was about to ask how you managed to use a full length stick with only the top and bottom steps

Hahahaha thanks. I'm pretty proud of my first attempt at painting.

They look great. I’m just hoping I can hide mine from the deer. My deer seem to see everything new in the woods.
 
You guys have some skills! THey look amazing. Word of caution, I painted my helium sticks, and then had a malfunction with a standoff. They would not warranty the sticks because they told me the spraypaint compromised the integrity of the stick. They were only a few weeks old, and now i'm stuck with a stick with one standoff and a company that has my money and doesn't care.
 
Those both look awesome. I'm going to install the stealth strips I have soon. I'm actually happy with my half @#$ paint job. They hid on the tree this weekend pretty well. I might order a couple of those aiders but could also get out and try my K&S with them. I was able to get 6 yards up at head height from my platform just using the sticks.

I'll throw these pictures up too. Got the top side stealth stripped tonight. Really happy with the way it turned out. I tried doing it three different ways. Trim for step bolt heads, completely disassemble, and go over the step bolt heads. Decided to do the last one going over the bolt heads.

Thanks! I know. Knowing that these were good sticks at a cheap price (compared to the Beast sticks and EWO’s etc. out there) I knew I would be taking a risk like that modding and painting them. If they break then so be it. It was a fun project anyway and not something I normally do to my toys. So I went out of my usual comfort zone and it was fun. But they’re still great as of this post so hopefully they last a while anyway.

Those look good too! Wouldn’t know those were wrapped if I didn’t recognize the camo.

oh yeah, i totally agree with you having them! I didn't mean it negatively, it was more of a warning in general for others. i felt a heck of a lot better painting my heliums than i would have painting some beast or lwcg sticks! yours look great man!

Thanks man. I just don't have skills to do a sweet paint job like you did. Honestly if I'd known stealth strips cost what they do I might have just done those first instead of painting. But now I know! I'm with you on the opinion that these sticks are pretty sweet considering the price. Hell the money I saved from cutting down my LW sticks or not buying fancy ones went into buying a new Phantom saddle.
