Wrong!

I bought more stands than that. I said I had 27 out at one time. Matter 'o fact, I just bought 3 ladder stands and another lock-on type stand... and will be buying another Ol'Man climber here most likely in the next 2 days. I don't buy stands because they're cheap. I buy these stands because I like them and they work. One stand that was squeaky for me was a Staghorn stand on a very very cold morning. I eventually had to kneel on the stand and re-adjust where it leaned against the tree. I wouldn't call API's, Loc-Ons, Ol'Mans, Summits and Predator stands "cheap", although I miss the Predators. I also purchased a $300+ Lone Wolf climber and can honestly say I'm not overly impressed with it. I like my Ol'Mans better. I just can't see or justify spending $200 on a fixed position stand when several others can do the same for less. I've since sold some stands and bought others... and I don't have any where close to that many stands out at once anymore. LOL! It gets expensive losing too many to thieves.

One stand I really liked was the API AL-50. It was small but extremely light. It was solid as a rock too. That and a few steps and I was in the tree in no time. I could go about 2 1/2 hours tops and I was done though. LOL!

There are cheap stands out there and I'm not interested in any of them. I want quality and all the amenities of a good stand, but without paying money that doesn't have to be paid out. Yeah, I'll have a LW fixed position stand. Most likely the Assault is the one I'll get, but we'll see. I want too many toys and at GunBroker a few more guns came up that are calling out to me. LOL!

I appreciate all the feedback, good and bad, about the Lone Wolfs. Since my post I have studied them more and will be going down to the local sporting goods store and look into them more thoroughly.

Thanks,
