I work for a large sporting goods retailer and we called our Rep today and he said that they will still have sticks for sale. We will not be getting any in until June or July and the cost will be going up to around $130 for Helium sticks set of 3.

I was at the SHOT show in vegas this winter where they were demo'd. The new ones have a versa button, looked nice. I've been trying to get ahold someone to talk to from GSM and their customer service sucks. Anyways, today I got thru to someone who said that he didn't see any Hawk Helium's on order but thought that there was some on order that would be coming mid May. After seeing this post I wonder if he didn't see any on order because they quit selling them.

I spoke with a GSM customer service rep named Brian. He didn’t know about the hawk helium sticks but emailed to someone higher in the company. He called back that he received a response from the warehouse that there are Hawk Heliums on order but won’t be here until Sept. Anyone have a set they want to sell? September is too close to crunch time.

Perhaps with the new upgrades they are calling Hawk Extremes or something, and so the folks there only know "no more thing called Helium stick"?

Yeah I was set on getting the hawk sticks im switching to saddle hunting this year I have a hawk portable and hawk climbing I’m selling might not be worth much now LOL. i do have a pretty good idea for some really good steps. But heck I’m working a extra part time job just to get my saddle hunting set up. No way I could ever start a company like that. LOL

I spoke with another customer service person this morning. They said that a shipment should be arriving in the next couple weeks! She said that if they don't come in within the next couple weeks they won't be arriving until September. I get the impression that they don't know for sure when it will becoming in which isn't surprising if they're coming from overseas. I work in manufacturing and we struggle with that from overseas vendors too.
Fingers crossed that they're here in a couple weeks and that its a large shipment.
