huntforlife, Hey I don't come in here much but I got one last year its the big shot tree stand and LOVE LOVE LOVE it. If I had a complaint it would be the weight and that is it and its not bad at all. I am not really wimpy so doesn't both me. I am very comfortable carrying it a long way. But with this stand I feel very safe and my wife is happy about it and after seeing the video she is even more happy with me having it because of how safe it is. Great stand and I highely recommend it.
