Heres what you need to do...invest in a professionaly made ladderstand if thats what you prefer to hunt out of. Home made stands only last so long....Right now is time to be buying new equipment as stores are running sales on this years equipment to make room for the 2007 market.

it was a wooden ladder stand this guy built for me on the farm because i let him hunt out of a farm an my buddie hunt out of an i have been bow hunting for some years now an only fell once besides this one he has it lagged bolted in the tree instead of nailed so i dont know if the lag bolt is loose or broke im not to sure but when i stood up to draw on a deer i went over it has no rails or side boards it on for bow hunting an the bottom of the boards kicked out and i hit my face on the base of the platform im not to sure why it gave out
