This may be my first stand, price seems right; veterans?

Pretty heavy in my opinion

Don't like expanded metal platforms....they pop and crack over time....a little heavy too. But, if it's in within your budget, go for it, it's worthgetting off the ground.

Unless you only hunt 50 yds from the truck, that stand is going to get real heavy packing in.

25% heavier than a similar aluminum stand, but a VERY good price!

I would also say no because of the weight.The lighter the better.A light strap on with 10 really tapered screw in steps gives you pretty decent speed getting set up and is a lot easier to be nimble with.You do what is right for your style of hunting and your budget.

Couldn't pass it up for $80. We'll see the ease of use, qualitywhen it arrives, I usually only hike 100 yds or so from the quad so the extra 10 lb won't kill me;will make me stonger.
Thanks for the replys!

I have 2 of those stands and I think they work great. Granted I usually leave them on the tree instead of packing in and out. But VERY comfy and great price. One of them is at least 6 years old and I have no noise probelms or creaking. You can get the same stand at Wal-mart for 90 bucks.

good deal but real heavy!!!

Hunt the ground ,Have a thrill
