All I buy now are ladderstands of this setup...

ladderstand
big standing platform, 20x30"
arm rests
shooting rail
flip up seat

of course I sit on stand from 1st light to last light, being comfy helps keep you there longer!

if you just hunt 2hrs in the morning and night, any piece of junk will work for you.

but especially with a bow I find having a large platform to stand on helps get your stance good and better angles, some of those 10x12" platforms are not only dangerous IMO but try shooting a bow with your feet basically next to each other.
