Default shopping for a tree stand
Anyone have any experience with Huntersview stands? Specifically the HVTC-400?

A link to their web site - http://www.huntersview.com/03hvtc400.htm

Thanks.

Checkout the Gunslinger, They don' t have a website yet but they will send you a free brochure. JRH Sport Industries,inc (904) 940-3381
They have a couple different models and two different weight capacities models.

Check out Lone Wolf they are about 10lbs lighter and will be much quieter.

I would say get a stand with a good sling seat and backrest pad. The Lone Wolf stand in nice but very uncomfortable.....the straight seat is just unbearable.

I have the Big Daddy ...it' s ok, but I' ll not buy another one. The seat needs something solid under it & at first it was making some noise. You get what you pay for.

Take a look at the Summit line of treestands, I just got a Viper XLS climber and I really like it so far, its quiet , comfortable, weighs 19lbs. and seems to be very sturdy.

^^^ www.cabelas.com www.basspro.com www.eders.com
I paid $259.99 plus shipping (worth every penny) for my Viper Ultra, it is a version above the XLS. They are the same except the Ultra comes with a foot rest and a gun rest. They also come with a harness. Cabelas says it is $39.99 and Bass Pro says it is $49.99 (the harness). Looking in my Cabelas right now and the XLS is... drum roll please... $239.99. You can probably find it cheaper but it is worth the price. Comfort is worth it . I am wanting to buy a vest that your harness slips in cause that harness gets messy.
