Anyone else comming out with a climbing platform? Anyone know? Nice to have options.

Saddle hunters are hard to please! Been a question on here for years if anybody is going to make one, now we need 2 options?

I like the LWCG traction belt levers over the XOP
And I really did not want to point out the great reputation XOP has for building quality products.

Not trying to be mean. I'm guilty of the same. The irony of it just kinda tickled my funny bone.
 
It appears that this off season will be much like last in regards to gear releases, nothing ground breaking in regard to saddle hunting, ideally I'd like to see a CF platform and sticks designed to carry in a compact package to replace my current set up. I really like the LWCG climber but have no need for it, my son has been using my LW climber for last 2 seasons so its on him to replace if he so desires, I will say that LWCG did a stand up thing by making their current belts compatible with the old versions, could've been ****ish and changed them just enough to facilitate the need for people buying their stands rather than replacing the belt. I don't own any of their products but that moves them up the list if Id ever be shopping for a replacement stand. I'll still be following along on this thread but will be focusing my improvements for next season on late season archery jacket and pants.

Once someone has an acquired a setup of reasonable quality gear (climbing sticks, saddle, saddle platform, treestand, bow, arrows, clothing, etc) it really is a case of significantly diminishing returns.
 
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.

That guy seems to have a lot of problems. Every video is him fixing all the problems with everything. Not sure how anything ever works with all these problems.
With that, I would like to see the LWCG heads in action

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

some of what he said was wrong or kind of nonsensical....for instance, there's all sorts of things in between aluminum oxide and diamonds regarding hardness...also, i have an aluminum baseball bat in the corner that is literally covered with aluminum oxide...in fact, i keep trying to remove it (not really) and it keeps reforming!!!

edit: i keep watching and finding more gems....i'll update here

he just claimed that aluminum head won't oxidize....no way....the sharpened bare edge of aluminum will immediately oxidize

an aside, there's no way he found an alloy of aluminum harder than a good steel....if sharp, those thin aluminum edges will likely gouge if they hit anything substantial

last edit: i had to stop at 3:30....i just couldn't take it anymore

How does anyone take him serious. He fixed all the problems we never knew we had. He created a 100gr aluminum broadhead that can punch through steal, creats a wound channel that God can’t even repair, and it is totally silent in flight. Praise Andre

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?
