Thats good to hear because i' ve always been a fan of lock-on stands. I killed my first deer with a bow from a Amacker climbing stand. I have three of their timb-r-locks that i' ve had for quite some time now and wouldn' t mind adding another one. I' ve always liked the t-bar they have to hang the stand on and the j-hook system that they employ, this makes the stand very easy to hang and install. The two oldest ones i have aren' t the most comfortable stands to sit in for long periods of time but the newest one i bought several years ago is alot better. Once i couldn' t find them around here anymore i started buying loc-on lem stands who i think have sold out to someone else now. I also have one called a climax that use to be made here in NC but those folks went out of business also. It' s nice to hear that Amacker is back around.
