go to cabelas.com and go to climbers, it is called the open shot, as long as you have your harness on right, you shouldnt have a problem, i just got it and love it, with shipping its about 175-180 ish.

I hate to contradict what a previous poster JUST told you......but if you're new to climbing....I would NOT get an open front climbing stand. Get something with a rail (if you go the climber route).

For sheer safety.....I'd recommend a 12' ladder stand (and for the beginner factor, as well).

Whatever you do.....just stay connected to the tree or a safety line all the time.

You might tell us if you're looking for a fixed stand or a portable climber. The fixed stands are less expensive.....typically bigger (if you choose a ladder type).....but the downfall is they are not portable.

I guess i should have said, if you want to go portable, other wise if portability isnt a problem then i would go with a fixed stand.

if i were you id get a ladder stand. climbers are hard to learn IMO, and since your what 12? you might have a tough time with a climber.

i agree with rory... a 12' ladder stand would be the best... they usually are less than 100 at dicks or walmart or anyplace like that

Whatever you decide, be sure to ALWAYS wear your safety harness. I have read about several guys getting hurt badly or even killed because they were not wearing their harness. And that was just in the past 2 weeks!! Imagine what it will be like when everyone hits the woods. It is easy to think it won't happen to you, but all it takes is 1 small thing to go wrong and then it is too late.
