One thing I didn't mention, the heat shrink tubing does stink. I replaced it with regularvinyl tubing that you get from home depot and that has lasted me for the last few seasons with no sign of wearing out any time soon. You have to pop out the plastic bushings in the stand for the vinyl tubing to fit, then you're good to go.

I have been using the API bowhunter for a long time. Maybe 10 years. Liked so much I got my wife one. She likes hers too. Heck, got rid of all my other stands.

I have 2 grand slams and i love them. There fairly quiet to climb and they are very comfortable to sit in for hours. Great stands

Any advice on where to purchase shrink tubing and how to replace existingtubing?I read where a hair dryer is hot enough, others writeuse a propane torch. So far, I've only found two sources to purchase tubing: Ebay and Order Out doors.

I replaced my shrink tubing with regular vinyl tubing that you can buy at home depot. To make it fit, you pop out the plastic bushings in the tubes and you're good to go. I've been using the same tubing for at least 3 or possibly 4 years with no signs of wear.

I have been using the same API Bowhunter since they first came out. I have left the ground before sun up and not come down till after sundown.I pack that thing in every day all deer season. Most importantly I have killed a truckload of deer out of it.
