I just bought the new hawk helium hang and hunt combo with the 20" sticks. With only 4 sticks I can only get to maybe max 12-14'. I'm use to my climber getting up to 18-25'. I was curious as to how high the rest of the lock on guys typically try to get.

I run 3 Lone Wolf sticks and get 12-15 feet high and don't have any problems getting busted. Personally, I think back cover is more important than height. I've killed deer 2 feet off the ground in my Lone Wolf on public. If you have good back cover, you can get away with a lot more than you might think. But you if you want to get high, I feel 4 sticks would get you there and 'aiders' are all the rage right now as well.

I use the muddy pro sticks and with a set of four usually only get about 15 feet. A couple of years ago I started tying 3 or 4 prusick loops and I will hang them from the bottom step of each stick. This gives me one extra step on each stick and easily gets me to 24ish feet. The prusick is adjustable for length and the. Barrel knots make for a better foot platform. Can post pic later if you need more clarification.

Yep. I was thinking that, but I wasn’t familiar with that particular Hawk. I basically wanted to be as considerate as possible.
