does anyone have any info on this stand thinking about picking it up Ol' Man Multi Vision Elite Aluminum Climbing Tree Stand it also comes with bar that is a footrest and gunrest 19lbs
I use that stand. Works great for me. For the price I got mine, it was well worth the money. I got mine on sale for about $170 I think. If you're on a tight budget, this is definitely a good option
$170 is a tight budget? DANG. These hang-on stands that are like $350 are a joke. I want a Summit Viper but I can't justify $279 for it.
You can get a Lone Wolf from Eders and bowhunting outlet for around 300 if you are a member. best price anywhere
I got an ameristep climber from gander mountain and I love it! 99 bucks Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Ol man flat out lies about the weight of their stands. Ol Man can suck it. Get a Lone Wolf sit and climb. Thank me later.
I've never used either but for some reason that post made me lol. They all lie through their teeth re stand weight. I did just pull the trigger on a LW hand climber today. After last weekend's episode of Misadventures in API Outdoors, I have used that tank for the last time. The LW should be at my door tomorrow!
LOVE my LW Hand Climber.....so light and packs down to literally 3 inches...thing is GREAT!!! You'll love it!
I got the stand yesterday they did lie the stand weighs 24lbs not 19lbs still pretty light though a lot lighter than a steel climber if its as comfy as everyone says it will be im happy
arrived today; be putting it to work on Friday-Sunday. Does pack really nicely. Only issue I see out of the box is the platform has fairly sharp edges and I see them maybe wearing holes in my camo clothes real quick.
Yeah when i got mine it was sharp also and thought the same thing, but i haven't had a problem with it so far. Also i don't collapse my hand climber all the way down. I find it easier to carry it like this.
Mines not overly sharp but I know what you mean...no problems here with it and I am on my 3rd season with mine. Get the backpack straps and keep it tight to your back...literally feels like the stand weighs 10 pounds when I have it on tight against my body and fully collapsed. Good choice and good luck with it!!!
I have two api, grand slam bow hunter and the full size, love them both.the gsb for 18 years. I also have a lone wolf that I just bought and hate it. The bottom portion is ok but the top is awful to sit on and climb with. They should have done a better job on a foot strap system also.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8dPvscfXMcw - watch how that guy climbs up the tree. it will help out. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yV1hjWksfAg - watch how this guy puts his hands on the top to climb up. easier to put the inside like he did for me. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ptZnujX05K8 - this is how i get into the tree stand by using the top like that. Also i got how i carry my stand from him, already set up and not flat.
