I have the XMid 1P, I use it for hiking and use my walking poles with it but when I go bikepacking , I use a couple of poles I made up from spare tent poles I got from a bushwalking shop.
I only say this because I would have thought it would be hard to bow hunt when both hands had poles in them and it might be better to try that.
Also my home made poles are lighter than trekking poles.

However, I have been using the 3-fold Six Moon poles with no issues (lighter than the new Durston but not adjustable so you sometimes have to angle them a bit. I have only used the Six Moon poles for base camping when I want to use my walking poles during the day without the tent collapsing.
Postage for the items I purchased (x-mid 1P groundsheet and a pair of the adjustable poles) was US $12.

I've never had a solid inner tent so I don't know much about whether they can be warmer than mesh only. When I can though, I'll sleep with a door open, and it's nice to be able to see through the mesh to whatever the view is. This wouldn't work with a solid inner, but maybe in winter in WOJ, it would be more comfortable
