Squirrel steps

Been away for awhile due to family and hunting but just saw the squirrel steps that can be used for ros. How do they compare to the other ros options. I am really interested in these due to how packable they are.
 
Also, how many steps do you prefer for a ros. I usually hunt trees on the larger side if that matters
 
Yep. To my knowledge there's only 3 folks that have used them so far. I'm one of the lucky ducks. Standing on them now.

I just found my first 3 scrapes of the year today, and they were still damp and dank, so I'm a bit tied up. But I plan to do a video soonish with my thoughts on them compared to wild edge steps, ameristeps, and the gen1 predator.

I did a pretty long-winded write-up on the prototypes I was generously given on the "Calling All Ameristep Users" thread. Short story is they were designed to be the optimum ROS system, and I think @DanO nailed it. I dig'em.

I use 5 of them on a 7ft strap. I think they are better than ameristeps, which I've owned.

I just ordered some. Said backorder. What we looking like on delivery times.

Typically backorders are produced the next day and sent out so it doesn't take long. Working with a machinist who is a good friend of mine. I say typically because there has been a death in his family, on Christmas no less. I'll be talking with him in a few minutes so I'll get more information on timing.
 
Just placed an order for 2, can't wait! I really love my predator platform but for hunting pigs over corn in Hawaii (only need to shoot one direction) 2 steps seems like it will be worth the weight savings.
 
just received my dual steps for LW sticks. They look awesome and can't wait to paint them and install.

How can I check to see if they were delivered?
Nevermind, figured it out

I’ve got 4 and the strap. Honestly, I only practiced with them for about 15-20 minutes . I really like them. They roll up tightly and fit in side pouch.
 
I hope this doesn’t cause any trouble, but how do the squirrel steps compare to Bullman steps? Im new to saddle hunting and ready to purchase some steps to make an ROS. I want to get the right stuff, so i don’t mind paying more if it’s worth it. Thanks!

The squirrel steps are much better for a ROS IMO.
