What's up with these new Muddy sticks?

RE: What's up with these new Muddy sticks?
Well, I can tell you that ours are definately not a "cheaper" alternative. If you want something that is TMA approved, extremely strong, made and quality control checked - it will not allow a company to sell them "cheap" and make any money on the product. I won't even get into liability insurance, patent costs, and development.
If we only sold them in 5-packs, the retail price would go up to $159.99 - which most people won't pay. We are faced with these decisions because of what the market has been trained to accept by the existing companies - we're just doing our best to offer the best possible product at the best possible price. 4 sticks at $129.99 is just that.
Individual sticks will cost $34.99 - and be available at the same time you buy a 4-pack - so if you want 5 then buy an extra one.
If you want to buy a low-quality and low-priced stick system - the new Muddy Sticks are surely not it!

They do look nice, I like the cam locking idea. i just got my LW sticks with UCR's so not in the market. I may have to get a single to try out.

Soa 5-stick pack would be less than the 4+1? Could you sell a 4 pack and a 5 pack, with the 5 pack having like a "Save a couple bucks and get a 5 pack" or something?

Ive never had any problems getting into my stand using my $35 sticks from wal-mart....
But if i were a "portable" fixed stand user, I could see where they would needed.

To be honest Don, i only used them a couple times since I got them. They took a little getting used to putting them on the tree, but you can't beat how they some off and they are super quiet. I am still trying to find the best way to get everything on my pack comfortable and tight, but it's working ok for now, and I end up with a light pack.

Definitely like the looks of the sticks and the cam design. Those broadheads are worth a second look as well. Follow the links under broadheads, they look pretty sweet:

Believe me man - I understand where you guys are coming from. From the supply, warehousing and costs stand-point, a 5 stick pack means another carton design and tool, another product we are forced to stock. A standard 4 pack and individual sticks are all we can offer to start. It's a HUGE investment to stock another configuration. You'd poop if you knew the associated costs with just adding another option. In the future - we may add alternative packs - but to start - we can't do it. We may do a 5-pack deal - but that's up to the owner of Muddy.
