can' t go wrong with an ol' man. i love mine and they are very easy to set up. only takes a minute or so. they aren' t to heavy and are priced pretty well at about $200.

Thanks , but am looking for around the $100 range, just sunk alot of cash into the initial setup so have limited resources for a while.

i felt the same way when i started too, put too much into the bow and didnt have much left for a stand.

but then i read a few posts here and the thing you must ask your self is which is more important, my bow or my life.

Wait until you can afford $200 or so and get a decent stand soemthing like a summit or ol' man that is quiet, sturdy and safe.

If your life isnt worth much then head to Wal-Mart, they have a few for <$100

About the best stand in the $100 range would be the Hunter' s view Hawk treestand. Or you can look on Ebay for a good used one.

Though I normally prefer to refer to specific stands instead of a place or manufacturer, in this case I am going to refer you to Cabelas. They have some " house climbers" made by either Warrant and Sweat or another company that retail in the $100 range. I cannot comment on the weight issue as I don' t remember exactly how heavy they were...though I am guessing they were relatively close to what most of the other major companies offer.

I have an old climber I bought at Wal-Mart too for around $99 about 4 years back. I can' t remember the namebrand, but it is pretty well made, and gets the job done. Doesn' t have all the comforts and cushions, but you can sit in it all day if you wanted.

I have an Ameristep Grizzly. It' s nice climber, but it' s heavy guage steel. At least it can withhold something like 350 lbs! Like the Hunter' s View Hawk, it too doesn' t have all the bells and whistles like the high end expensive Summit models. I would give anything to own a Summit and kick back and relax in a tree stand all comfy and stuff, but man, the cost of them! [:' (] If I shelled out $399 or more, my wife would kick my a$$!!! [:o]
