Cheap ladder stands???
 

I see where Cabela' s has a ladder stand for $69. Has anyone tried these cheaper ones? Are they any good? I' m a solid 6 foot, 235 pounder, would they hold me steady? I' ve been eyeing a real heavy weight at the pro shop for $150. It' s rated for 300 and is built like a rock.

What say the experts?

I have one similar to that model... With proper securement it is solid... im only 180 lbs... but it doesnt move, these stands are rated for 250 lbs

Yep I' ve used that one. It' s not a super high quality stand, but really a decent stand for the money. I use a ratchet strap along with what is provided to secure it. I weigh 200, and have no probs...I would think you' d be fine. I think they are actually rated at 300?
I was actually just thinking of buying a couple of those to put out this season...the price is right for sure.

They may be rated that high... im sure it could support it

I go just over 300 pounds and use the same stands that cabelas is selling for 69.99 right now. I think they are a great stand for the money. I use a rachet strap to hold them on the tree and have no problems at all with them.

I have 4 of them Iam 245- 6' and I have no problems with them. The 2 I just ordered came with a video and a nice hunting knife. I have made a few shooting rests that I move from stand to stand during gun season. I mostly us the stands for Bowhunting. get one you won' t be sorry! GOOD LUCK THIS COMING SEASON
