OOAL Hush Stand- first impressions

 
Perfect. Ordered the black blemish one. Thanks man.
 
FYI they have a new thick one that is not listed on the site but if you reach out to them…

If I wasn’t happy with my current system I would be buying this stand and sticks, why more companies cannot figure out a way to pack sticks in a low profile system like this.... is beyond me, it’s one of the most important features in a package, it’s 2021 and we are supposed to still use bungee cords give me a break, the Helo looks like a nice stand but Novix dropped the ball if you ask me by not figuring out a way to securely fasten mini sticks on that stand, the Helo was designed for the mobile hunter and most are using sticks... LWCG and OOAL understand that, at the very least I was expecting Novix to make slots in the platform like they do on the mission platform for the sticks to kind of lock in when using bungees, I understand some people don’t care as much as me, but nothing drives me more crazy than shifting loads and sticks moving around on the walk in, I like a secure, clean, no nonsense method of locking those sticks on the stand. Same with the Beast stand, that rod deal doesn’t look impressive either. That Hush package in the post above looks sweet, I like it.
 
Waiting on the versa aider to come in. I’d say 17’-19’
I loved my versa aider, it was great,that’s my only complaint with my lwcg mini sticks with the single step, I can’t run a single versa aider anymore, after this season I mite buy some more double step sticks just so I can use a versa aider again.

100% agree. My set up last year, no matter how tight I got my sticks to the stand it would loosen up and shift. The beast stick rod set up looks super loud.

Could you not run a versa aider on each foot? Or one versa aider and a cable aider on the middle stick

The novix setup meets a diff market and price point. Personally I think at the price it's as good a setup as it gets. But spend more money get lighter and slimmer

The Helo is narrower than the Hush. If you’re talking stick packing profile then it’s not but it also doesn’t require screwing your sticks to your stand to carry them.

A stand needs a bat wing bracket or it doesn't work for me!! The Helo has notches for LW sticks to lock in just like the Assaults.
