RE: What kind of stand for young hunter?
An excellent hang-on stand that I've used this season and then liked so much I ordered SEVERAL more is the Cabela's Trophy Lite XT. These stands are light weight, lock down rock solid, and are very quiet. Quick and easy to set up and they are very comfortable with a roomy platform and very comfortable seat heigth. They are available for $60 and $70 depending on which model. Spend the money on a couple of these as opposed to just 1 big and bulky stand. Take a serious look at 'em, you won't regret it.
