There is a significant amount of machining on those platforms. They would probably be crazy expensive to make in the US. I recall getting estimates to chamfer stand-off teeth and it was an extra $15/standoff just to do that. So, I can only imagine what a machine shop would charge for all those off axis angles and cuts.

I commend them for tying to do something a bit different than the competition.

Really, not all that different. I like that we're finally getting into Ergal grade metal. The machining is mostly eye catching. Features, well, they've all been around, not sure about the rope. Does @Brocky make something like that already?

The rope on the telescoping stick? It‘s hard to tell if it is a single braid, or something with a cover, but looks like just a large eye?
 
Hope they are using a different manufacturer than Hawk is currently using.

The only thing I can think of is a stick that gets shorter for packing in is for someone who wants to pack them horizontal. A 20 " step spacing is for younger guys. Us older (I mean more experienced hunters) want something a little bit shorter.

I'm pushing 50 and still want more than 20" distance. It's about length not age

At the begging on the mobile hunter expo video he says the rope is amsteel with a sheath over it

@Horn has it, the video says Durabraid is Amsteel "encased" in the rope...

Who is behind this Arsenal company with the new telescoping sticks and new saddle? Got to admit I like the innovation but to me they came right out of the blue? Anybody have any info. on them at all? @enkriss?

The former original owner of Hawk hunting gear before he sold it and quality plummeted. He was also the VP of Primos hunting.
Edit....I kept reading and saw it was answered.
