tree lounge experience?
 

I am thinking about purchasing a tree lounge gun hunters or bowhunters special. Does anyone have any experience with the tree lounge stand?

Thanks,
Lockheed

Tree lounges arethe best! I love my bowhunter special. I hope you consider buying one.

I have the gun hunter with the bowhunter
adapter. I havent quite mastered a quiet
setup with this stand but once its attached
to the tree you cant beat it. The problem
I have is the bolts that attach the back
brackets of the seat portion and climber portion,
tend to bend as the stand torques when
climbing. I constantly am straightening
these bolts before each use. (anybody else have this
problem? This stand is excellent for an ALL Day Stand but thats
about all i use it for now as the setup is just too noisy and cumbersome. I just purchased an API Superstar
and , over all, I like it much better. Its super
quiet and very quick and easy to setup.

I got the Lone Wolf Sit & Climb stand this fall & love it. I researched stands for 8 months & decided on this model & it is everything you need to bowhunt or rifle hunt. It's quiet, simple to set up & break down & a breeze to climb with. If you go with this model you won't regret it. Check this stand out before you go with the heavy, cumbersome, noisy, complicated tree lounge. Trust me I've used them.

I have been using the old version for the past couple of years and am interested in the new version because it is a lot lighter. Have never had the bolts bend on anything in that tree stand..only problem I have is the wedge that comes with it and its installation once you are up the tree and the noise the stand generates. Security wise there is no treestand that can touch it. Now this year there is an area where I hunt that I need to get into a tree and quietly and I can't imagine lugging the lounge in there because I'll have to much commotion. So I may have to buy 2 climbers ...owwww
