Lone Wolf Treestand Alternative Top Wish!

TrpD345 · 08-26-2008, 05:32 PM

Am I the only person who wishes that Lone Wolf would make a climber top that had a fixed bar, like the Summit stands have? I understand being able to swing the bar under you so that it is out of the way, but if you are a bigger or taller guy, the swinging bar swings down and forces your knees into the tree. I would love to see a fixed bar that would allow you to sit farther from the tree while climbing. When you are farther away from the tree you can also take farther strides. I had their climber and loved it all except for this. And besides, I have never had a problem with the bars being in front of me, especially with the smaller A to A bows of today. Anyway, just a wish

OK, I'll bite. IMO it would be an excellent option.

I will only say that I like being able to pull that bar under the seat opening up the front. I like the design of that bar. I am 6'4 but my knees do not hit the tree while climbing. Just my opinion. Good luck.

That's why we're tired!

That would add more wieght and the Lone Wolfs are ANTI-WEIGHT. I guess maybe just an optional accessory?

I wouldn't mind seeing it, but I do like the moveable one. I see pros and cons of both. Like predator said though, it would add weight.

The little extra weight would be fine with me.

I won't use the bar very much to sit, anyways. It's nice to know it's there.....but I'll likely use it as a hand climber. The bar would still be nice to put up if I got sleepy

Simple solution...Don't open/read the thread.
