IRVING, TX – January 2026 – Hawk’s latest product launch features two purpose-built essentials engineered to elevate modern saddle hunting systems: the Solace Platform and Helium FLX Saddle.
The trusted designer and manufacturer of stands, climbing sticks, platforms, ground blinds, and other hunting accessories for more than 50 years, Hawk® is showcasing these new items at SHOT Show, January 20-23, in Las Vegas.
Featuring an extra-large 13″L x 16″W, textured, no-slip cast-aluminum surface rated to support up to 350 lbs., the Solace Platform provides ample room to maneuver while maintaining an ultralight 5.5-lb. carry weight. Its Bark Biter™ offset bracket locks securely against uneven trunks, while an integrated leveling system allows for precise adjustments on imperfect trees. A Versa Button Strap enables fast, quiet attachment and, when it’s time to move, the recessed design folds completely flat, simplifying long hikes in tough terrain.
Paired with the Solace Platform is the new Helium FLX Saddle. Built around a lightweight, load-efficient chassis, it minimizes bulk while providing the ergonomic support serious saddle hunters demand. It includes a no-slip, rubber-lined waistband, adjustable suspension system, and integrated MOLLE attachment points that create a secure, customizable fit, quickly adapting to any tree, any angle, and any setup, offering freedom of movement and stability without compromise.
SHOT Show attendees can view these and other new-for-2026 products at the GSM Outdoors booth, #12669, at the Venetian Expo, Level 2.

About Hawk®:
Here at Hawk, our feet are planted firmly on the ground, but our minds and hearts are elsewhere. Climbing toward the canopy, hanging on 20 feet up, thinking through entry points, setups, stalks and shots—that’s what we live for. Because for the last 50-plus years, hunting hasn’t been just something we do, it’s become a significant part of who we are. This is why Hawk Hunting and Down & Out Blinds continue to push the limits of our designs, testing, and manufacturing processes to bring better tree stands, climbing sticks, platforms, ground blinds, and other hunting accessories to the field. So, you’re able to not only hunt from above but go beyond what others are willing to give to get there.
