LWCG verse Hunting Beast Gear

[nbubolz]

Has anyone ever used both the LWCG stand and sticks and the Beast Gear stand and sticks? Prefer one over the other? I do like some of the future or additional items that can be purchased with LWCG.

I have owned both. LWCG is the way. Especially if you plan to get both their stand and sticks, no better “system” on the market that works together. Beast stands have also been out of stock for a while, and they have pushed back their availability date multiple times with no end in sight. I feel like Beast Gear is on its way out…Dan isn’t really involved with it anymore besides holding the patents and some stake in the company.

I love my beast sticks. I haven’t tried anything that bites the tree as well as them. I’ve tried the lwcg doubles and thought they were louder, bite worse, and didn’t pack appreciably better. I’m a double step guy so never tried the compacts. The new compact doubles look interesting but not sure the fiddle factor is worth the better pack ability.

I primarily saddle hunt (80% or more) but do have a lwcg .75 I use if I’ve prescouted the spot and makes the setup better/possible.

I went with lwcg for the stand due to the add on bow holder and seemed more “put together”. I kinda wish I had went with the 1.0 for the added width but at the time thought I’d use it closer to 50/50 with the saddle and move thru a lot of thick stuff where lower profile is nice. (Probably why I’m 80% saddle vs stand).

Lotta preference here and I doubt you’ll have any major regrets either way. For me beast sticks are the benchmark stick. I could see going to the tethrd gen 3 one sticks if they can prove durability but no one in the carbon game has a track record that I’d trust at this point.
For the stand I’d go with lwcg for more integrated features.
