I've been using the EZ folding screw-ins for 25 years and never had a serious mis hap. However, I have read about some of the more serious problems that other hunters have had (I vividly recall reading about BTBowhunters friend Big Country) and this year I asked for (and got) the Lone Wolf sticks. After practicing with them a couple times, I'm looking forward to trying them out.

BTW- I also have the stick ladder by (former) ol' man and the ladder sections made by Strong Built -- they're both very noisy and weigh a TON. I set them up each year in a place they'll remain until seasons's end. Too heavy and cumbersome to move!
