- In this video I share my views and comparisons of several treestands including the Lone Wolf Alpha, Lone Wolf Assault, Novix Helo, and the Lone Wolf Custom Gear (LWCG) .75 treestands. Towards the end of the video, I also demonstrate the functionality of the LWCG Sidekick bow holder I added to my new .75 stand. The Sidekick's functionality is a true winner and surpassed my expectations.

Great video, thank you!
Great review Bo, I really appreciate you taking the time to do side-by-side comparisons! As far as the bow holder goes, I've been using a cheap holder similar to the Lone Wolf one in your video and I've never had an issue with it and it works like a champ! Thanks again Bo!
Appreciate the review - and glad to see that you're still using a Switchback XT...I have two of them and still use them exclusively!
Great review. I have been using the Lonewolf assault for about 5 years. I am thinking about adding another stand. I am a big guy, 6’2” 250 pounds. The assault has been pretty good for me. I am leaning toward the LWCG stand.
I applaud your LWCG selection but I only wish my LW Assault 2 was two pounds lighter than my Novix Echo. The difference is actually only a pound or maybe even less, despite the difference in size. Thankfully my bow works just fine in my Assault 2 bow holder, though, so that’s one less thing to worry about and carry.
Have 3 of the 4. Not the lw cust gear...too expensive. Like all my lw and novix. Thx for your review!
Wonderfull
Great video with great info. I’m wanting to get the Helo never had a hang on but I know if it’s compatible to Lone Wolf it’s worth every cent!
Good information thanks for sharing.... Question , what brand are your shoulder straps, and where did you buy them? Thanks in advance for your anwser .
I have the assault, or maybe the assault 2? It’s the shorter platform. Only 11 lbs. It’s solid on the tree but I like to stretch my legs more than this stand allows. Still a great stand though. Super quiet too.
Good information. What length seat post were you using on the .75?
It is the standard seat height of 20"
@@borivers9514 , thank you.
Will the sidekick fit on the Novix helo and older LW platforms?
I don't know how well the Sidekick would on those stands as they don't have a hole in the edge of the platform to mount it to.
Third hand archery makes one that should work pretty universally
Do you feel that the 75 is that much of an upgrade over the assault and worth the extra money?
Obviously a personal choice to upgrade, and a decision I thought about. I got my .75 for about $450.00 due to an exchange for the 1.0 I bought many months previous and took a long time to get. LWCG honored the exchange. Now, though, the .75 is at $600.00. If you are constantly hiking in the stand longer distances and setting it up often, I would say it could justify the cost as there is a 3 pound weight difference and the climbing sticks integrate with the stand as system. The .75 is nicer to hang due to it being lighter. Once hung in the tree, though, there is really not difference in overall comfort. That said, I would gladly trade every older stand I have for the .75 as I do like it that much. Good luck with your decision!
Have you ever tried saddle hunting?
Have thought about it and can see certain advantages to saddle hunting but just haven't tried it.
Great review. Explained everything very thoroughly.
