What are your initial impressions of the tree Styx?

I have 3step heliums and xops as a baseline to go off of. The only gripe I have is how poorly they stack down. But to be sub 1lb, the trade off has to be somewhere, as I look at all these ultralight sticks they all have the same flaw. As for the performance of the stick. The stick flex’s to the tree and sticks on the tree, getting them off the tree can be a process, I learned you have to lift up on them with the rope still around the tree. They are quiet, the way you have to tie the string takes getting use to especially if the tree isn’t straight. They perform really well, I’m pretty happy with them overall.

I like to hunt in the ground typically and move to put myself in better positions, been very successful this way. Having taken 3 over 150 per Wi buck n bear, with this method. This year the grass was just too tall so I had to improvise. I will ratchet strap small trees/willows and stand on a single 3 step hawk helium. Have had great success this way as well, one setup I did I was only able to use 2 tree Styx and was maybe 10’ in a single tree all on its lonesome, for 400yds any direction, as I’ve seen big deer run through the section that tree was in, passed 5 bucks that morning on the 7th.. just be confident in you and your setup, I know here in Wi the public I hunt gets absolutely pounded, but I hear in mi it’s worse and the deer walk around looking up.

Ya that seems to be true . Might have to start sitting on the ground then.
