HUnted them numerous times and have a friend with several. Like said nice for those stands where you will be leaving it for awhile .Not so good if it has to be carried any distance, or assembled repeatedly.. Theres a reason we call them "Erector Sets". A lot of parts to assemble in the dark and there no fast way to do it. You will always be the last up the tree or the last back to camp. Of course of you hate having to stoke the fire or start dinner thats not such a bad thing. Another observation as far as using it for bow hunting when you stand up you are a considerable distance off the tree, profile is pretty bad.

Sorry for the not so good news on them.
