I just to wanted shoot everyone a note speaking of my experience with

Lwolf climbing treestands. IMO they are a deathtrap, with a horrible

design. Mid way through October I decided to trade in my trusted Summit

cobra for 1 Lonewolf alpha sit combo , I was intrigued by the cast

platform and folding design, what a mistake that was.

After ony hunting out of it handfull of times the stand little

collapsed under me, I never actually paid much attention to how the

stand was designed until after It collapsed under me breaking my leg in

three places. Anyways anyone who has had the unfortunate pleasure of

buying one of POS should beware. The stand has knobs which hand tighten

to hold the arms open with a knob that sits in shallow recess, the

brace only runs to the center of the stand so when you are standing in

the front of the stand there is an incredible amount of tork on the

stand forcing the arms to want to close. I am not sure if the day the

stand collapsed I kicked one of the knobs on the way up the tree, but

after roughly an hour I stood up and felt the stand move , hunting out

of climbing stand for years my inclination was to push down with my toe

to cinch the teeth in the tree, to my suprise it wasn't the back of

platform that was moving it was the stand folding and when I pushed the

front dropped like a trap door. So after having a titanium rod and 8

screws placed in my leg and I am here to tell be very carefull if you

do happen to own one of these stands.

To cap the whole experience off I sent lone wolf an email and sent my

stand back and after 3 weeks they don't even have the descensy to

refund my money. I had to call them several time hearing excuses like

we received your stand back and we havn't had time to process the

credit. What a j/k of a company, you think they would at least have

commone courtesy to respond even if they dont agree with my opionion.

And at the very least they should refund my money without delay.

The stand is definitley not what it appears .

Problems
Unsafe- knobs holding stand open with compression
Bow grommet they tout doesnt even work for bows with parallel limb

technology
Take a crowbar with you, you will need to open the latches on the cams.
