Novix vs Vertical?

[amateurhourhunter]

Anyone have any insight on this? Where are vertical tree stands made? Thank you

Novix helo if you plan on carrying it in and out with you. The vertical stands look awesome for pre-sets, but I wouldn't wanna carry one around all season, they weigh close to 20lbs.

Damn, 11.5 lbs vs 20. Thank you. I didn’t realize the Novix was so light.

If you want to save some more money the new XOP stands look good. I've got a novix helo I'm really happy with so far as well.

XOP is made in China. I get a good discount on Novix. Thank you.

I used a helo and an echo for two years. They are great stands. I switched to lwcg this past season. Unfortunately novixs prices have gone up considerably and are not much cheaper than you can find a used custom gear stand.

That was why I went with the Novix versus the Vertical. I have both the Echo and Helo, big fan of them both. Nothing particularly mind blowing about the design, they just work and aren’t crazy heavy. I know people are butthurt about the price increase, but that’s just kind of the nature of the world now.

I got the helo. It’s nice has everything you need at an ok price. Can be a little tight for an all day sit Cheaper than lwcg and beast stands. For only a few more pounds. I mean like 4-5lbs. If you can’t carry the extra few pounds how you gonna drag the deer when you shoot it? Just my 2 cents.
