I went hunting last year after a 30 year break. I discovered I had missed it and have subsequently become consumed with the upcomong deer season. I have been quietly garthering good gear, at good prices. I had bought a ground blind but decided to get a tree stand also. A guy at work had an older tree lounge. He has a couple of the accessories for it. I am looking at it. The price is good, but was wondering what real people who had used it thought of it, as opposed to advertisements. I am 5'10" 265lbs. Any experiences appreciated. Thanks.

I tried the lounge and other stands since i like to sit all day. i got to tell you the lounge is good but thegunslinger from jrh is better. in the gunslinger it really feels like you are in a chair at home and man it is comfortable with room to move .I am 6'2 260 and own two and will never get anything else

I have been using the Old Style Tree Lounge since the early 90's. I have tried my buddies Gunslinger and I will start using the Gunslinger over the Tree Lounge from now on.

EDIT: Having second thoughts on holding power over the TL.....

I have not herd of the gunslinger could some one post a pics. and some more details about it. Like is easy to get on and off the tree and is it heavy. Thanks for any info.

The Gunslinger is an extremely comfortable stand. I have a buddy that has had one for 12-15 years. I have made many all day hunts with it. I bought one about 3 months ago. They are very well built, very comfortable and a great value. You can find info on them here http://www.jrhsport.com/gunslinger.htm

Thanks for the info. It doe's look very comfortable.

RE: J.R.H. Industries-Gunslinger Tree Stands

nothing but thumbs up for the tree lounge. if you do a search in the forums on the topic you will get a good idea . im 6 foot 250lbs. its very comfortable.the only thing i dont like about the gun slinger is that it uses the early baker style v bar for grabbing the tree. that is too old school for me any stand i have used like that doesnt grab any where near like the tree lounge. looks comfortable though

Very true!.......The Tree Lounge is demonstrated for gripping power on a Steel Pole! No other climbing stand can hold like a TL...

i love my tree lounge but i am going to buy a gun slinger this year. mainly because i need a second stand and i wanna try it out.
