RE: Ol'Man treestand recall
Don't get all in a tizzy about this recall. It is nothing more than replacing the pins and there is nothing wrong with the stands either.
There is nothing wrong with the pins to begin with but people don't like to read directions orwatch theinstructional DVD and were installing the pins incorectly and climbing incorectly which is causing them to come unhooked.
Simply call the number provided and you will be sent new pins.

I know. I'm just letting people know it is really no big deal.

These warnings are put out for a reason, so that people take notice and take the appropriate actions. Lets not downplay any recall that puts a hunters life at risk.

RE: Ol'Man treestand recall
Breaking my neck when I fall from 20' up is a big deal.
The pins that are being recalled are the same exact pins that have been used on Ol Man treestands for years.However after purchasing the company and running it for a year TSR discovered that when these same exact pins that have been used for years were not installed according to the directions provided that they could, in rare cases, be caused to come loose.
This recallis just a pin replacement to make the pins absolutely 100% foolproof so that there is absolutely no way for someone to cause the pins to come loose with out a great deal of concious effort on their part.
There is nothing wrong with the stands at allor the recalled pins so long as people follow instructions but TSR is still trying to make the stands as safe and fool proof as humanly possible.
Even with these updated pins it is stillup to the end user to follow the directions providedto keep themselves safe while climbing a tree.
Click the link and you will see the old pin in figure 1 and the new updated pin if figure 2 and instructions on how to replace the pins.
