Actually bought two, but in playing with it this evening, I wish I had a few of these. I usually add a stand or two to the inventory. May send one out to Colorado for the upcoming elk hunt.

Hats off as if you were thinking of buying one, it appears to be well worth the extra bucks.

Anyone else use these ?

I have used one for the past few years! For me this is the best and by far easiest stand there is to use and hang! I sold off my climber that was like brand new that I never used! The Alpha can go in any tree a climber can and then some, the then some is what I was looking for! great stand and well worth the money!!!!!!!

wish I had bought one of these years ago.

I bought one and a set of 4 climbing sticks this summer. I have been using them in the back yard, practicing putting it up and taking it down. I'm getting good at it, I think I will really like it. I have their climber and love it. I was thinking of getting the assault but I'm pretty big so I bought the alpha and boy am I glad I did.

I just ordered the sticks today since I like the stands so much. Like the way the sticks and stand tie up together. Found a spot in NY that is some distance to get too. I also have a spot in PA on public ground that is a 45 minute pack in and want something that isn't to much to pack in and out

I recently bought the alpha hand climber and what I like most about it is that I can set itup in less than a minute if I wanted to. Besides that, it's light, quiet, and packs flat. Yep, well worth the money imo.

By FAR the easiest-to-hang stand on the market today, as well as the most solid. The adjustability of the leveling features built into the platorm and seat makes this head and shoulders the best hang-on stand I've ever owned, and I've owned a lot of them... dating back all the way to the old Staghorns through the modern Summits, including the Deer Deck, the Deer Deck Lite and the Copperhead.
