I agree. I bought two ladder stands 3 years ago. I wish I had that 300 bucks back. That is at least 6 economy hang ons. I like to have lots of setups for the wind anddiffering situations. They are much easier to move and also can be put as high or as low as needed and they give you more options on which type of tree you can use.

I've heard they are a PIA to setup. However, once you get in it they are supposed to be pretty nice.

Personally, I would go with 3 gorilla hang-ons or a really nice climber for that kind of coin.

My cousin just bought one last year and loves it. it may be a bit to put up and you cant do it yourself and if you can youll have a hard time. But he loves the comfort and the height of it. He puts his in a nice big pine or oak, at 22 feet in a tree you have a lot of cover. I guess hes picking up another one pretty soon.

already have a climber, hate it... and i just dont get how you can get 3 FULL stands for $250.. meaning 3 treestands, plus 3 22 or 23 foot climbing ladders or sticks for all under $250, i really dont think so.. if i got a hang on it'd be a Gorilla with the net seat... them are like $130. so put 3 of them together plus shipping you'd be talking about $390 just for the stands plus probly another $30 for shipping. Am i right about this?
