I'm pretty sure they are as pin off or bought Gorilla's pattern. I have a couple of the Gorilla Siverback models and love them. You will like it

I own one that is very nice. Their seats are some of the most comfortable out there. I would spend a bit more and get their mega sized platform. Mine is the Combat hang on and the platform is a kind of tight. Get their XL/Mega platform for more room. Other than that they are great!

I went to their corp headquarters last spring in Frankenmuth, Mi to look around. Great People! I do not believe their stands and sticks are American made, but I truly was impressed by their quality. I'm a big guy and love my Lone wolf and Chippewa stands and sticks, but I believe Hawk's stands and sticks would hold me, easily. I think I need "1" more stand next year, and the Hawk has me thinking.

Looks like a great stand after searching the web for them, but just a heads up they have a safety recall on for recent climbing sticks. FYI for those who have said they have some.

LC--I saw that, too. Ironically, when I walked through their warehouse last spring, I was impressed with their stands but their sticks WOWed me. Hopefully, they get the sticks corrected.

I am in the market for a treestand that isn't going to break the bank, that I can take down/put up each time I go out, this looks like a winner!

I am hoping to get the Helium XL, but I would have to setup and pull the stand on each hunt so weight and comfort is premium for me

I've had good luck with the Helium Xl

If they made the seat and platform adjustable it will be the best stand out there imo

Anybody have problems with creaks or other noise while it cold or just moving around?

no problem with noise out of mine and rock solid in the tree. I want the smaller helium the one that weights 10.5 pounds.
