hey all,

i just bought my first bow and plan to get out next year and do some hunting.i was originally going to do a ground blind but ive read that the majority of kills with a bow are done from a tree stand not the ground.so,ive changed my route of attack.ive looked at many different stands and generally ive noticed they have weight limits of 300lbs or 500lbs on the 2 man ones.i found a link on this website for crows nest tree stands with a phone number as well.i clicked the link and the site cannot be found,ive also done a search via yahoo search engine and have found nothing.im wondering...did they go out of business?i liked what their ad had said because for a single man stand it had a weight capacity of 450lbs.

im a big guy..i stand about 6ft2 or 6ft3 and weigh in at 348lbs.i need a stand that will safely support me and if at all possible something not too outrageously priced.
