That's an awesome set man.  As far as the price, I'm not sure yet.  I THINK they sold somewhere between $8-$10 a step but not 100% sure.  This is only what I have been told.

I have some used ones coming and I will decide whether to get more once I have had a chance to play with them a little.  I may have a bunch of climbing sticks for sale soon. lol

They don't weigh much less, but the packability seems great.

Except for when I use my climber the Stepp Ladder is all I use. I tried the Lone Wolf steps but I couldn't get used to them, seemed like I needed another hand to get them hung,and I had to keep climbing down to get another section. With the Stepp Ladder I can put the steps on as I go up the tree and carrying the stand on my back,once I'm up I'm up. Traded my Lone Wolf ones for more Stepps. Plus, Jim is a great guy.
were it worth the trouble? Huh? What trouble?

I have two sets, just need to get a lock on stand that will not cost me an arm and a leg for shipping all the way to Guam. May just get a Guidos web and be done with it,LOL, These steps are some of the best I have seen, seem to be very solid and safe.

Just got an e-mail from Jim, he does have "some" and they are $99 for 12 steps and the bag PLUS shipping which varies depending on where you are.

You have to sign a disclaimer before he will sell them to you.

I have an idea on how to secure them (except for the bottom 4) with chains for semi-permanent installations so the squirrels won't chew throgh the ropes.  I think I will like it.

Thanks Boswell for that info.

awbowman,  

That price is about $20 less than what I paid for my set of 12 8 or 10 years ago.

As for the squirrels, I don't think you need to worry about that.  I've never had a problem.

Do you plan to leave them out for months or weeks at a time?

I've come to believe that the keys to shooting well for me are good form, trusting the bow to do all the work, and having the confidence in the bow and myself to remain motionless and relaxed at release until the arrow hits the mark.

Don't plan to leave them out at all if I can't rig them with chains.  I have had friends fall from loc-ons where the squirrel had chewed on the straps.  Scares the crap out of me.
