Can't argue....I've never hunted from a stand.....but I'll tell you it's invaluable if your belly crawling the last 20 yards to get a shot at a muley or antlelope or stuck behind a tree as a bull elk comes screaming in and you have to play the "this side or that" game with the elk (btw in this game your 1st guess is ALWAYS wrong ).
