I'll be curious to see how your hunt goes in Montana. I'm in NY as well and want to go out west at some point to chase elk. But after watching Randy pack that elk out of the nasty brush in Colorado, hunting a field from a tree stand looks mighty good again. :P
I used Lumenocks for a season. The installation procedure usually requires sanding parts of the nock down. It can be easy to take too much off and ruin the nock. If you go this way, watch some of their youtube videos. Their customer service treated me well too.
Nockturnals are on my arrows...
Thanks fellas -
Some people minded that smaller platform on the Assault. I guess you thought the trade off of size-to-weight was worth it?
I've also looked at XOP stands and have been curious about how they compare to LW.
Thanks for the tip on Stick Talons - I'll check them out! I thought...
Now I know many on here are western hunters and have little use for a tree stand. However, I am in New York and have need of one for my white tail hunting. I'm looking to buy a Lone Wolf Alpha/Assault because of how light they are. If you want to get rid of yours, let me know.
Additionally...
I have a Carbon Icon and I really love its weight, stability and silence. I tried many Hoyt and Mathews bows before I settled on it. It fit my body very well.
Comin in from NY but from Missouri originally. Not doing western hunts anytime soon but really love Randy's ethic and his shows. Looking forward to hunting and conservation talk.
