I'm just curious to know if any of you guy's have a fear of heights. Call me a coward or whatever but i have seen some other hunters stands that freak me out. I have a buddy who has a lock-on about 30 feet up with climbing sticks on the inside of a curved tree. So when your climbing the sticks your actually kind of upside down. I feel pretty safe in a climber or a ladder up to about 25 feet. Does any body here have issues with heights?

Ihave acrophobia. It takes me about 20 minutes afterI get in my API archer stand to get comfortable with the height. IfI use a stand with a front rail I'm fine though.

I am usually alright aslong as I have my safety belt, When the wind is blowing and I am in a pine tree it makes me a lil nervous though...

U sed to be afraid of heights but i would still use stands but now with my new job im always workin 20-30 feet up and all im walking on is 7x7 square tubing so thanks to my job ive gotten alot more comfortable with heights.

With my harness on I'm fine. No problem at all. If I take that harness off my legs shake.

Most of my ladder stands are only 8' high-some 12'.Don't like getting too high and I see deer and get shots from these stands so it works for me

One of my old lock-ons, I had 20 feet of climbing sticks, then I had to climb about another 15 feet with just the tree b/c of all the limbs. It was a huge oak tree in the middle of a cut-over on a hill. You could see forever up there and I witnessed some beautiful mornings from that stand. However, I did get scared climbing in and out of it everytime, but I was always fine once I got into the stand.

Oh yeah, I was scared to death hanging that thing, too. Climbing up that tree with nothing and having that stand strapped to my back.
