Has anyone pulled the trigger on one of these guys yet? I was thinking of purchasing a Artisan Outdoors Mini platform for a LW stick but at practically the same price I think I’d rather go with the OOAL one which includes the stick. What say yee?
 
So I just had text correspondance with a gentleman at OOAL. He informed that these currently only fit the shikar sticks; however, he will be making/selling them to fit any 1" tubing very soon. He said he is making a prototype to fit muddy sticks currently.

nice...i want one. this seems like the best platform for me but dont need a new stick. hopefully this happens for the one inch tubing soon. any one know what dimensions the shikar stick is?
 
OOAL is really making a name for themselves. Just think a year ago they came out with a platform that people shredded. He listened went back to the drawing board and since has come out with 2 platforms that people love and now a stick option that is customizable in length, one step, 2 step, or platform. Pretty sweet.
 
Is anyone worried about it being at that fixed 30° angle and not adjustable?

I currently use a wood platform that is flat but my feet rest on at an angle. I think the slope will be more comfortable. Also, the platform has a two step essential built into it, so no worries about standing either. Though If anything I’d prefer more of angle. We shall see.

Anyone that takes the time text a customer a response and continue conversation about upcoming products has my vote. I’m looking forward to giving them my money.
 
That actually why i like it. I was planning on welding my own like that. But i have 0 experience at welding aluminum.
 
It won the best new product at the ata 2020 didnt it? Well the sticks did. Same thing

It's great that he listens so well to what our needs are and is small enough to move quickly and bring us great products!!

Exactly
 
I have a RidgeRunner and I'm strongly considering this platform. OOAL's customer service is top notch like their products.

Im just unsure of that angle I also like to be able to stand up on my platform (Wild edge Perch) and turn 180° and be able to make that bad side shot. Maybe just me but I rather do that thing swing around the tree or shoot over my bridge. I think the sticks are awesome though and im sure I will be giving them a try soon!

I think that the whole package won. No body is offering sticks that are that customizable. Being the first can be a very profitable endeavor.
 
Does anyone know if the Artisan Outdoors Mini platform works with Beast Sticks?

I believe it should work on any 1" sq. tubing stick...

I asked this question 3 times and asked Artisan directly. To date, I cannot find a single person who has used this on a Beast Stick. I would like some confirmation before I buy and find out I have to drill holes and kluge it together.
