[QUOTE="Vince, post: 4972493, member: 14750"] I like ladder stands with rests but setting them up is hell and need more than one body. My summit climber is very comfortable to sit in but difficult to walk in with it. I can only take small steps because the teeth of climber hits my calf if I take long strides so takes me long time to get in. This year I also installed a hang on stand by myself. Academy’s EZ set oversize. Setting it up was hell too, but single man’s job unlike ladder stand. You have to be strong like a hulk to lift the heavy stand with one arm while up on the tree held by a linemans’s belt and place it into the small bracket perfectly. No matter what you do, the bracket doesn’t hold up straight to insert the seat in perfectly. Both my hang on and ladder stands are Academy’s and both are super comfortable for long sits. I have had a cheaper ladder stand from Walmart before and hurts to sit for than few hours. The only thing I miss on my hang on is a shooting rail to rest my crossbow that I hold the entire time. I can get a universal shooting rail or a bow hanger.. Yet to try a saddle but I may try next year. [/QUOTE]
