RE: Chippewa wedge-lock
I have them both and for me there is no comparison. I like the Chippewa much better. I'm a big guy and the Chippewa fits me much better and is easier to set up. I have the Brutus maximas (with a second on its way). The price is high but I think it's wotrth it. I have been bowhunting for close to 40 years and it is the best hang on stand I have used.
By the way, I recently was given a gift card at a local pro shop. I used it to order a Lone Wolf Hang on for my Son as a extra. I cancelled the order last week after waiting over 6 weeks for the stand to arrive. I heard they sold the company.
Good luck,
