The regular USA is terrible. It’s just a prussic that binds down tight and a royal pain to loosen.
Haven’t tried it yet but I bet a standard USA (used like a USA pro without the second prusik) would be awesome on something with a rope cleat(tethrd one, arsenal, etc)

Yes, same as the Hang Free that I tried. Daisy's on the sticks and a cam buckle on the .75 works better for me, your results may be different.

I just went through all this with darn near all the attachment methods out there, and even some combinations of them. The version of the USA Pro that I made works amazingly well, and so did the RDA one that I purchased and made.

I went out tgis morning and tried the USA standard again on my Shikars. I think the castration band was slid too close to the knot not allowing me to loosen the knot. Since the knot was too tight I could not get the Amsteel tight. Move the band a little, loosen the knot and the USA worked better.
I will use them on the Shikars.
On my .75, I think I need to toe hook the stand. Not sure if LWCG recommends toe hooking?

They don’t warn you not to. I have toe hooked LWCG stands hundreds of times.
