I bought one a couple years ago for my dad so he could gun hunt in a little more comfort. Excellent seat and very comfortable (no surprises). The chair folds up I believe now which is the only negative about the one I have.

For the price of a lock on + trophy seat you could probably just buy low end Summit climbers and leave them at the tree though couldn't ya??

I don't know dude, it looks to me if you just used that chair, you wouldn't have a true "sling seat" and wouldn't be as comfortable....You would still have to use the seat platform, right? You couldn't cut that off and just use the foot platform, you wouldn't have any way to lock it to the tree.....You would have to do it in a way that the seat was suspended over the seat of the lock on.....

Man, that sounds confusing.....[&:]
