I picked up 2 of these on sale from sportsmanguide last spring along with 2 25 ft ladders. The full seat is a game changer. I added a ratchet strap across the bottom to really anchor it to the tree. I cannot say enough about how comfortable this lock-on is. Seat folds up very quietly when standing up. I've heard some say the height of the seat is low but at 5'10", no issues for me. This was also the first stand I've used a life line. What a difference in how much safer I feel coming up and down and in and out of the stand. I've used a climber primarily in the past.
I've looked at those stands a few times and wondered if they were comfortable. Thanks for the review and glad to hear you started using a LifeLine this year!
My favorite stands!! I also use a m150 as my mobile run and gun setup with a set of muddy sticks. I love that combo.
Best stands on the market. There’s not an easier stand to sit all day in than one of those. You made a wise decision in purchasing them. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
After carrying a climber for several years, walking to a stand carrying only a bow was a dream. I really do not think you will be disappointed.
coming from a long time lone wolf user,, my own personal opinion ..I own a m100, great stand ,, super light BUT lol I really dislike like it. mostly the back rest and side straps for the seat, sometimes I like to sit sideways on the seat and can not with the side straps and the narrow base of the platform. the straps are also perfectly in the way to get my hands in my muff on a cold day.. and the seat is so long that when a deer sneaks in on me its a lot of movement to get out of the way to fold the seat up... the m50 is my go to stand, far more comfy. imo best seat on the market, seat height is great and the foot rest is the perfect height to take the pressure off my back. if you have never sat in one try it. having no metal under my tail bone makes a huge difference on long sits.
best stand on the market in my opinion. not a great "run n gun" stand for all the LW lovers but as far as a hang on goes it is the most comfy out there. Hawk makes a hang on called "kickback" that compares and is cheapy
I sat in my M150 for the first time tonight and it was a dream. I don't think you can beat it for a stand that stays in place. Made me want to go back and sit in it tomorrow lol.
