New hawk heliums

[BCHunter]

Apparently hawk is going to the versa button. It won't be white, and also has a rubber grommet for stacking. Someone posted this on the FB page.

I like the looks of this!!

Prolly heavier and not much has changed.....

That’s a change for the better, IMO.

I liked the hawks, but could never get them to stack and pack well enough to feel confident bringing them in the woods. These look much improved

Here's a video showing the updates ...

I saw em yesterday, looks good but it might be adding weight with the lock cups

 

[fbwguy]

Looks like positive change, we shall see

I like the way they lock together, these companies are starting to up their game. If they would make some mini sticks and sell in a 4 pack... I'd buy them and sew up some versa straps.

I reversed them instead of trying to stack them and it worked great. With the stick talons on my Alpha, nice and quiet and easy to pull off as I climbed. Now they're 24" and strapped to my pack (both helium's and short LW's shown). Pack with all gear weighs in at 21 pounds (including predator and heavy jacket). I guess thats heavy to some of y'all, but it's a far cry from the previous years weight. Easy to get through thick brush, quiet and fast to climb (for my old ass). Maybe someone on here will find a way to DIY these for those who already have them.

@Islandshooter SSI in the house?? I used to live out there and spend some time hunting Sapelo Island... haven't been back that way in 10 years... I'll be looking to order the 2019 Heliums as soon as they're in stock

Bush hog, you prolly wouldn't recognize this place anymore. Too many Yankees have come in and tried to make it like Atlamta, lol. I was born and raised here, never hunted Sapelo or Cumberland tho. What brought you down here? Check this little helium mod. I nest them opposing, two to a side on my pack. Found a way to ensure they don't rattle! Good to hear from a former islander
