Hunters view Treestands? Anyone use them?
#2
I have three of their hang on stands with their 16 foot climbing sticks. The climbing stands they make are a little heavy and I just dont like them much. But, the hang ons are great, I hunt on private land and hang them before season and leave them all season. They are big and have comfortable seats, best of all Wal-Mart has them and they ar not very expensive, Ill not use another brand of hang on or sticks again.

I do own one. It is heavy and with almost no effort I can " jiggle" it when I am in a tree. When they had their recall I called them about my stand and they told me that as long as there were no tag ends sticking out of the support cables it didn' t need to be sent back in. It still bothers me to think about it though.
The stand itself was very cheap. I guess this is one of those examples that a guy gets what he pays for.

I use one and I love it. There are 2 versions of their climbers and 1 in aluminum and 1 is steel, the heavy one. Mine was a bit loud until I tricked it out with camo tape and now I have no problem with noises. I also added more padding and padded shoulder straps. I have spent from sunrise to sunset on many occasion with no problem! Plus it has a decent size platform!

aaron i have the hawk climber for 100 dollars at wal mart good climber never felt safer mine climbs good and sits great i stood on one side then the other then on the very back rock solid it is heavy and first thing i did is put thicker foot straps on it they looked liked they would wear around the bolts it was a cheap and easy fix plus like hunting fool i added tape on the rails i lay my bow across them and the backpack straps help out for the weight,seriously look at the hawk or eagle good stands for the price the recalls were on fixed or hang on stands i' ve used mine for three years and let my brother and two friends use it ,they all bought one
