So I just got a set of Beast sticks and am wondering what I should expect as a platform height using 4 beast sticks as is with no mods. Ideally I’d like to add an aider to 3 sticks and a only have to pack in 3 but have never used sticks so I’m just looking for some solid guidance.

With 3 sticks and an aider you can hit 15 for sure. Higher if you’re on the taller side. I’m 5’7” and hit 15’ with 17” sticks and an aider.

Apparently the e commerce inventory got jacked up and they stocked out b4 8am EST. So, if you bought after 8am its likely you will b getting a refund

Its simple math right. Four stick is 22" x 4= 88/ set them 22" apart is 4x22" = 88"/ put platform 22" from top step.
88+88+22= 16.5 feet
add one aider add 88"
One aider = 24 feet
Add a double aider= 88"
Two step aider = 31 feet

With my beast sticks, I have a 3 step aider on the first two and get 20 to 22 feet at my platform. Many times I just end up using three sticks two with aiders and hunt at 16 or 17 because of cover in early session. I am 5'11
