I've never seen sticks like that, time to do some research those look way cool. Are they very heavy?
Jim stepp I believe sold the business to two younger guys who might be still making them, they are steel so I guess they have some weight but I don't really feel it when they are packed inside a 7lb stand that I'm wearing on my back. they are very quiet but you need to watch the vids and learn how to put them on the tree by feel in the dark which is easy once you learn it,, I have found nothing quieter than stepps that can be put up in the dark by feel . these are also great for saddle platforms I hear too.. theres a lot of great products out there and these are discontinued but if you find any they are great to have around. I attached a pic of Jim stepp with them on tree to see what they like like.
