RE: comfortable tree stand
Sumit is the best I believe. API is great as well ( I heard they filed chapter 11??) BUT...If your a cheapskate like me... I got the Cabela' s " SS Lounger" and for $89 it' s the most comfortable thing out there. I would only look into this with certain criteria though.
1. Your going to put it up and leave it up. It' s big, bulky and kinda heavy and your not gonna want to drag it around every day.
2. Your comfortable taking a sitting down shot. It is a LOUNGER! not the easiest to stand from a sitting position from. I' m not in great shape and I haven' t had a problem, but if your not 100% mobile I can see where ther would be better choices.
3. You don' t have problem STAYING AWAKE on stand! The biggest downfall for me with this stand is that it' s so comfortable...I' m asleep in minutes if the action is slow.
Just another option.
