XOP H.F.A.S Saddle Hunting System: Unboxing & Initial Impressions

[@markb8360]

Awesome. Thanks for the video. Please note that the title and description is wrong HFSA vs HFAS (but correct in the text within the video). Nevertheless, this video came up when I searched XOP HFAS

Have you used these in the woods, how secure are they, and are they faster. I have considered getting some of them for my x2 sticks. Do the sticks set very much when you set the stick and if so does the setting of the stick become a problem with the height you can climb. How do these compare to xop cam buckles.

[@TheGoatRope]

@@fred778 it is what I am currently using this season. Personally I don't like the big buckle straps. I weigh around 165 and am 5'10" currently, so your size could make a difference not sure. The way I climb i typically stand on the bottom step with my lineman's belt and set the next stick, so it's similar to being on the ground. These hold good, just seed them to the tree as they recommend.

@TheGoatRope ok awesome, are they the 1/8 inch full bury Amsteel I know there are several different sizes.

[@TheGoatRope]

@@fred778 yes the 1/8 is what I have.

Is there any reason this system shouldn’t be used on a 3 step stick? Can it be used for an xop hang on tree stand

[@TheGoatRope]

@@larrybasacco8068 I don't see why not. But... They make heavy duty ropes through hang free for certain stands and also possibly 3 step sticks if this doesn't work for you. I would contact XOP and/or Hang Free on any safety concerns to get clarity.

@@Stud_Mac thx for that!
