I was in the same boat. I originally planned one getting Tetherd 1 sticks, but opted to try the Latitude carbons…they were hard to pass up with the Black Friday/cyber Monday deal. Hawks served me well getting into saddle hunting on a budget, but they are my first upgradeThank yall I have the hawk heliums right now and I wanna cut down on my pack in weight I seen the carbons and thought they would cut some weight down as long as they were safe and strong
The 3 3/4" x 24 left a small gap on the rear side where no one will ever see it. It is contacting the other sticks on the surface of the Stealh Strips and that little gap doesn't even come into play. If you tend to be OCD.....order the 4". When Latitude had their BF sale, I ordered a 4th SS carbon stick and used two of the 8" lefover pieces to do that one up. It would take a pretty sharp eye looking for such things to notice that it wasn't one piece like the other 3. That way I covered 4 for the price of 3. Works for me.@Alaska at Heart did the 3 3/4” wide stealth strip give you a complete wrap around the stick? I have a set of 3 on the way and was going to order rolls of stealth strip like I typically do for seasonal modifications and touch ups, rather than buying the kit.
