How quickly can you be up a tree ready to fire?

10-12 mins for me. I feel like I could do it in 5… but it takes 10-12. Add 3 mins for hang-on

I can climb to 19-20' in less than 10 minutes of reaching the bottom of the tree. If noise and safety weren't an issue I could do it faster. That is during early season. The bulk of weather clothing can prolong the climb.

12 minutes give or take couple either way at times, 20 -25 feet generaly. Using one stick method

Like others have said. 10 minutes or so. I could go a lot faster but one thing I like is how quiet it is. So I take my time and try and make little to no noise.

It really varies on ones climbing methods primarily (a lot of options). Plus, adding things like safety and preventing noise as mentioned above. The method I use to climb is a bit slower but I'm confident it is the quietest and safest. I'm thinking 20 minutes completely set up for a long sit. A little shorter than that if I needed to not set up but instead pull up weapon to make a shot.

What method would that be? Im always looking to learn new ways, thank you

It depends on the tree. A tree with limbs is going to take longer than a smooth tree.

15 min is a good safe average bet from the time you reach the tree to the time you hang your bow. I would say I average 20 min. I take my time climb quietly and safely trying not to sweat in the summer or winter.

2 tethers. 2TC

I will have to look that up thanks

 

[Heath423]

I will have to look that up thanks

I didn't start with that method but ended up there between the 2020 and 2021 season. The first time I seen 2TC I thought it looked stupid and a lot of work. Started with 3 climbing sticks but continued to look to shed pack weight. Then tried 1 sticking, nope not for me. Then arrived where I am now.

I like the one sticking so far way better than carrying 5 sticks in, i will have to dig into some YouTube videos if the 2tc this weekend , thanks brother
