Wrack , I bought one last year, after using one the season prior- be careful- that thing will put you to sleep!
They are a little bulky to carry through the woods, but man are they compfortable to sit in!!

Thanks!
Did you bow, or gun hunt from it?

RE: Gunslinger Climbing Stand
 

Are you talking about the one built by JRH industries?

RE: Gunslinger Climbing Stand
 

Yes, Old Soul, thats the one!

RE: Gunslinger Climbing Stand
 

Wrack, I gun hunted from it, after I woke up!

RE: Gunslinger Climbing Stand
 

Great stand!! I have the extra pad for mine and you can sit all day in it.Not much of a stand for bow though. Looking at a Summit climber for bow season.

Old Soul, what specifically don't you like about it for bow? Thats what I'll be using it for most often.

RE: Gunslinger Climbing Stand
 

You sit facing the tree only. If you stand up and turn with your back to the tree you wont have room to manuver the bow for a shot.

Thanks, guys.
Sounds like what I need for gun hunting, but maybe not for bow hunting.

WrackMaster, very familiar with the Gunslinger climber. Although it
is more of a gun style of stand (tree-facing), it is not that difficult
to bowhunt out of"once you've gotten familiar with where everything
is at." It's pretty easy to shoot sitting if you like that, but of course, you're limited to your shooting side.
Check out Doug Jordan's 150 class buck in Muzzy's catalog. Doug has
bowhunted out of a Gunslinger since 1998.
The best thing to do, is find someone near you that has one and try
shooting out of it. That's the best way to be sure if it's what you want.

Sorry, meant to mention that Doug is on the Scrape Juice page
in Muzzy's book.
