Wow, I am surprised at all the negative comments about the Sit and Climb. It seems most of them are coming from guys that have never tried one or tried one once or twice, or their brothers cousins nephew had one, etc. At any rate, I will give my input incase there is someone reading that is interested in a Sit and Climb and not just giving advice about something they haven't used.

I noticed a few mentions of the "looks" of the Lone Wolf. The guy that founded Lone Wolf, designed them how he thought a stand should be-quiet, strong, stable, portability, etc. They are made to do all of these and do them well, if your buying or even considering buying a stand on "looks" then you are not serious about hunting.

Also, the mention of the seat being to small, the guy that founded Lone Wolf and uses them exclusively is a big guy, much bigger than those that say they are to small. I'm 6'4 230 lbs, I could be 275 lbs and still not be to big for the Sit and Climb. The platform is a good size too.


Someone mentioned how are they better than the Summit Openshot? Huh? It isn't even a competition, I bought an Openshot last summer, I did use it and it was alright of a stand. Sure you can kill a deer out of it, but it was not even half the stand my LW is. It packs so much better, super quiet, very secure in the tree, this thing is solid on every type of tree that I can find around here.

Another mention was the seat coming loose when you stand for a shot. I will say that if the seat is coming undone and falling or even loosening when your clothing catches the front of it, then you are using it wrong. Period. If you lock the two straps down, one on each side, then there is no way the seat can move. If the straps are tight then the stand is solid.

There is a reason this stand cost so much. And its worth every penny to a dedicated bowhunter, no it doesn't make you a higher class bowhunter or anything like that, but just because some idiot has one and can't kill a deer doesn't mean the stand is junk.

The first couple of times I used mine I thought I had made a mistake, but after 4 or 5 times I "learned" this stand and I LOVE it more and more each time I use it. BTW, I did buy the new seat this summer for mine. I think it will be more comfy although the one I had wasn't bad at all, I hunted all day 11 days in a row last year with it and was mostly satisfied. Had to stretch a little every couple hours.

Look if you dont want one, then don't buy one. But you should never bash a product you haven't tried yourself.
