Might be a nice "Outfitter" stand..but not practical for me.

Looks kinda tough to bowhunt from.

This stand would only work on a perfect tree, basically the same tree that a climber is used on.

i'll keep my summits, thanks;)

Looks pretty cool. I think that it would be the type of stand you would have to set up in advance. I just don't see it as practical for a same day setup. Looks heavy and time consuming.

HuntingEd, that's exactly what I thought. It's a nice idea, but way too long to set up and unless you're leaving it there I don't think it would be very practical. It isa step in the right direction and I like the trap door entry system.

Yea, thats what made me think it'd bea good stand to setup and leave in, but i can get 20' ladder stands for $85 at dicks sporting goods... if they can beat that price then i'd consider it.

I think it is a good idea but they can impove i think

First off, imagine carrying all of that to your spot that is about 1/4 mile to a mile away. that would take an army to get it out there

Second, it looks like it can be spotted on a tree quite easy. thus, theft. i don't see any security options on it either. if i'm paying big bucks for a treestand, i don't want it stolen.

Third, i like the trap door and how it goes up but somehow i think the system that they use, the weight limit will be less than others on the market.

i think it is headed on the right track tho! just needs some more thinking

MIGHT WORK

WBH, I just saw that stand @ the Wi Deer/Turk expo in Madison this past weekend. It has it's qualities. The platform is against the ladder portion & u raise it w/the rope on a pulley system. Couple of problems. It's not easily portable, meaning can't take it & out w/you. If u have land that u can leave it up, that would be great. The other problem is the amount of noise it makes when hauling up the platform. I think there is a safety locking mechanism, like dogears on ladders, that clack loudly when raising it. That was my biggest concern, especially early morning. You would hear that thing a mile away. Very innovative though.
