The real excitement surrounded LWCG’s new as-yet unnamed dual-step, compact climbing stick and an even smaller treestand, which reportedly only weighs in at a slight 5.5 pounds. Kuhnert’s Ambush (4 lbs., 13 oz.), is the manufacturer’s answer for saddle hunters looking for a base platform.
#LONE WOLF TREE STAND SERIES#
The D’Acquisto Series Hang-On ( 7.7 lbs.) continues to be a quiet, handy stand for run-and-gun deer hunters, along with the short (1.5 lbs.) and long (2.4 lbs.) climbing sticks to round out a climbing package.
Lone Wolf Custom Gear has also made waves in featherweight hunting gear the last couple of years, the company’s booth was again jammed with interested folks all throughout the show. The strength and extremely low weight of these saddle systems make it pretty tough to argue against the method when hiking long distances in and out of public lands, and there’s no doubt their popularity will continue to grow. Tethrd team members were on hand to talk saddle hunting techniques, answer all questions and help out anyone interested in giving the system a try. In addition, the tiny Predator platform (3 lbs., 5 oz.) was available to stand on and test. The company had several demo spots set up so that showgoers could actually sit in and try out the Manis and Phantom saddle models (both roughly around 1 pound) and all of the required ropes and carabiners. Saddle hunting is nothing new, but it has started to gain a lot more attention in recent years, and the Tethrd booth was buzzing every day of the show. The new bows, arrows, broadheads and other stuff received plenty of coverage already, so let’s focus for a minute on equipment engineered with mobile, public-land hunters in mind - lightweight treestand gear. No offense, Greg.The dust has finally settled from last week’s Archery Trade Association Show in Indianapolis, and the amount of cool new hunting gear was mind boggling - as always. I'm not sure I even wanna try what Greg's suggesting.lol. I had a spot I wanted to get into.and there was one SMALL tree.
#LONE WOLF TREE STAND HOW TO#
Now.it's a breeze.I keep my belts all the way in when packing.If you do this.you'll learn how to look at a tree's size and know if you have to let one side out a little (it'll make sense, soon). If not.this stand can be frustrating as heck the first few times. Set it up in youryard a few times to come up with your "system". I carry nothing else to stand (other than me and my bow). I carry a pruning saw, tether, haul line and bow hook in mine. You'll appreciate being able to do this when you mis-judge from the ground on your settings.Ħ. Work on adjusting your lower platform while you're "up". Set it up in a tree in your yard and go 3-4' up. You'll also want to experiment with differing distances between the upper and lower to know what's most comfortable for YOU.ĥ.
It'll make for MUCH more comfortable sits. Make sure (when you set up) that your upper is angled "up" a little.and your platform is level. It still packs fine.and it saves a little time and possiblenoise when setting up in the dark.Ĥ. I leave my upper in the locked-out positionall the time. The straps that connect the upper to the lowr are fine.ģ. I never even put the stock ones on my stand.Ģ.
