go to cabelas.com and go to climbers, it is called the open shot, as long as you have your harness on right, you shouldnt have a problem, i just got it and love it, with shipping its about 175-180 ish.

I hate to contradict what a previous poster JUST told you......but if you're new to climbing....I would NOT get an open front climbing stand. Get something with a rail (if you go the climber route).
For sheer safety.....I'd recommend a 12' ladder stand (and for the beginner factor, as well).
Whatever you do.....just stay connected to the tree or a safety line all the time.
You might tell us if you're looking for a fixed stand or a portable climber. The fixed stands are less expensive.....typically bigger (if you choose a ladder type).....but the downfall is they are not portable.

Whatever you decide, be sure to ALWAYS wear your safety harness. I have read about several guys getting hurt badly or even killed because they were not wearing their harness. And that was just in the past 2 weeks!! Imagine what it will be like when everyone hits the woods. It is easy to think it won't happen to you, but all it takes is 1 small thing to go wrong and then it is too late.
