    I love my z7x, but I wish I could get 80 pound limbs for it.
    Leaving out things being invinted, what do you wish were made?

    A super light climber stand that works and acts like my summit climber. The weight does effect how far I can go in. But I'm not comfortable in any other type of portable tree stand.

    A tree stand that would rotate completely around a tree and do it safely and quietly. This would be awesome. I had two times last year where if I could have rotated, I would have had a shot. Its frustrating. I have actually been trying think of a way to engineer this one. If trees where like power poles and always the same size, it would be easy.

    Why not just 180? That wouldn't be hard as long as you didn't pick some huge tree. Just make your tree mount a little beefier and strap it good.

    A tree stand that is comfortable to sit in all day long. I have yet to find one.

    Been asking for it for a couple years... Hopefully, Craig will listen this year.

    I want a 34" axle-to-axle Invasion CPX... If I had that, I'd probably never test-shoot another bow.

    Ever sat in a mellinium treestand? I only hunt out of LW's usually but during the rut I will throw some of my Mellinium treestands out, WOW what a difference they make.

    My neighbor hunts out of melliniums, and he says the same thing. I haven't tried one out for myself though. I should probably see if I can go give his a test drive.

    My brother has a climber I used last season. I sat in it for six hours straight and it was so comfy I was fighting sleep in it until day break. pretty sure I could have made it all day if I would have packed a lunch and some snacks. It's some cheap one my dad bought him from Sam's Club or Walmart I think, back about five years ago. It works great just can't remember the name of it. I'll probably do an all day hunt around Halloween in it this season.

    I meant 180. Don't know why I typed 360. I'll probably break out the welder and some steel and give it a shot later this summer. I am sure I will be able to do it, its just ironing out the details I have in my head. I don't see why it hasn't been done or put on the market yet.
