Lol. My thoughts exactly. I mean those dang deer can see your shiny broadheads from 100 yds away. He is ridiculous.

I noticed that a price was never mentioned for the broadheads. I think I’d rather stick with some tried and true Magnus, QAD, Slick Trick, etc. that will probably be a third of the price.

Guess I'm the oddball out. I dont see a single stick that excites me. There's more to a stick than just weight. They way it bites the tree, somewhere to grab onto, durability, angle of the steps, footroom, packability, snag factor, inline or staggered packing, company that backs it, slipperyness of the steps in inclement weather, aider options, and yeet-abilty. I've yet to find a stick that puts it all together more perfectly than beast sticks. One sticks come close.

Yeet-ability? New one on me

I like the LWCG traction belt levers over the XOP

I noticed the difference. Never had an XOP. Is that how they have always made them? Harder to adjust while ascending/descending than LW? Less secure?

I have never had a XCP either. I watch too many tube videos, go to 1:11.

Bless your heart. Were you under the impression we only buy gear once? It's ok, this place was built to help you discover, develop and perfect your ability to spend money upgrading hunting gear.

"Ha, ha"... Yeah, I do. Wouldn't have mentioned it if i didn't. When my 240lbs. is 22' up on 20 deg or colder day climbing down on a carbon stick at dark i want to know that it has been stress/weight tested at those temps.. I want to know a step isnt going to fracture or break and can take some shock loading when one happens to slip then catch to support the weight when you set a stick as they do.

Composites make great structural components but cold temps with this type of usage a different ball game. I don't like the amount of flex the post has in the show photos let alone 20' up.

You do you. I'll ask the question and know before I choose to buy or climb with them or not.

You've gotta work with cf composites, not cf reinforced plastic, to understand their strength. It is way more flexible than metal while being stronger. Cold temps have much much less bearing on structural integrity of carbon fiber than metal. Cirrus airplanes fly in -60 all the time with cf structures, wings, spars, etc! You do you but they very likely have been tested in sub zero weather! My cf platforms i build have weathered 2 winters now they aren't any more flexible or brittle from Sept to Dec (-5°) and I can hold them in my bare hand without that burn you'd get from holding a cold metal object.

it's kind of insulting, if he knows better

like claiming the only thing harder than aluminum oxide is diamonds.....all you have to do is know enough to think 'that smells funny' and then look it up

does he think he's smart and everyone else is dumb?

Well yeah. He doesn’t have those same problems that mortal man has to deal with. He is here to help all us fools with our shiny ultra sharp blades so we don’t have to worry about the maintenance issues. These blades must never get dull.

This is what he's basing that statement on. However that AO is just a coating and the aluminum underneath is much softer, sooo... its like having sandpaper as your edge but the paper could still rip.Screenshot_20230113-171132_Chrome.jpg

No, not serious. I zeroed them with them open 1 inch so they'd read what I wanted them to for the picture. That's why I used a coworkers crappy digital calipers - I'm trying to win a meaningless internet thing with a guy I barley know :tearsofjoy:
