my buddy gave it too me for $50. sweet deal if u ask me.

not a newer model one but works just the same

I just bought one too, a brand new condition, used once leather roadtrip Waddell sig for $150; new it costs $250. I am going to use this as my platform. I just ordered it today. $49.99 and I think it will double as seat attached to a tree for ground hunting while wearing a guilley outfit. It is rated for 300#'s.

Just make sure you practice out of it. Ive had one for three years and they are great but my friend who got his the same time as me has a hell of a time with it because he doesn't practice with it.

I love mine they are quiet and you don't have to worry about your stand going missing. Only bad thing is that it can get a little uncomfortable after an all day hunt. If your going to be in it for any length of time i would recommend a platform like the one you posted up

thanks for the info, im going out tomorrow to check it out and see how i like it. i messed around with it a little before i bought it and it seems like it will be a great tool for hunting

I'm really considering picking one up for this season.... it would be useful in a lot of my areas...

Save your self a sore A** and try a Guido's Web suspended harness stand. I have one and LOVE IT!! all the features of the tree saddle with full adjustable back support and a hard but cushioned seat to take the feeling of the straps off your legs. Bought mine directly from the Guy who makes them but can also order from his sight.
