Well like you, two years ago I thought about buying one set of sticks and a Alpha Hang On stand. Now I have 7 of each !!

What do I like about them. First they are lightweight and easy to pack in. These stands are well thought out. Compared to the metal welded grate I used to use, these are made of one piece aluminum and have increased strength and will out last others even after being in the weather.

In addition, once they are set, they are rock solid. No noise and the sticks do not loosen over mutiple in and outs of your set. Seat height of these stands makes them very comforatable for those long sits.

All in all, I will never own anything other than a Lone Wolf stand. I will continue to add to the inventory over time as I do have a rather good chunk of land to hunt.

Do yourself a favor, buy one and use it, if you don't like it, PM me as I will guarantee that I will take it off your hands...
