Climbing Stick Questions

npockat32 · 02-21-2008, 07:25 AM

I am looking to buy some Grizzly 16' Climbing Sticks. They are on clearance right now.
Does anyone have these or know anything about them?
Do you need to interlock the sections or you can you put them on seperately?
About how high can you put your hang up if you use these?

Thanks for the help!

No matter what you buy .... most brands have four foot sections with an alvalibleextenson allowing you to gotwenty feet upand yes you do have to interlock them .

As RDhunterhas stated, they all come in four sections, and most have another section you can purchase seperately. I have several sets myself that I use. They all work great. The only thing I dislike about them are the straps they come with. I use a 6' ratchet strap on every other one. Just for a safety precaution.

So these would be good enough then?

If I wanted to put space in between each section I could use an extra ratchet strap on each on then?

I just don't want to pay 100.00 for climbing sticks cause I already spend enough on hang on stands alone.

Yes ... they would be good enough and by using extra straps would make them more secure as long as you keep them tight.

There aresticks out there that you can hang separately, Gorilla makes some and Rapid Rails to name two. I think I got my Rapid Rails for under $40.

Check Sportsmansguide.com, I think they even dropped them to $35 the last time I looked.
