    Hey guys I am very new to the site. I wanted to get opinions on lock on stands and ladders. I just had my 2nd back surgery and can't get back in my climber quite yet. I have been hunting from a ground blind since surgery and it's worked out but I'd like to have multiple options. I have thought about some ladder stands from Millenium and Big Game that have actual seats and backs. As far as lock on's which is what I am trying to get to I have looked at the Millenium XL and Big Game. What's your opinions on comfort for someone in my condition with an actual seat and best for cost?

    Thanks in advance for any help.

    I only bow hunt as well. Just love it way more than using a rifle. Thanks

    Anything with a sling style seat and arm rests are the most comfortable. We have a few of the Guide Gear Deluxe Fixed Treestands and love them. Also have one Millennium stand that is very comfortable but it can be a little awkward trying to get up out of to stand to shoot. Some of the ladder stands we have are different brands but we always look for comfort now. Nothing worse than a single small seat to sit on and no arm rests to help you with that comfort. That's why I just don't get the Lone Wolf craze and some of the others. Pay that much to sit on a pedestal I guess.

    X2 on the millennium. Most comfortable lock on I've ever owned.
