I tried out my tree stand today. It was quite an experience as it was my first time using a climbing stand. I have only shot from a stand once before a few weekends ago with my buddy. The prognoses:
The stand works.
It doesn't work well, and it's even falling apart. One of the six straps that attach the seat to the stand ripped. There are a few others that look ready to go as well. I'm hoping I can find an easy and cheap, yet reliable fix. I could just get another seat, but I'd rather use either materials I have around the house or something really cheap from Walmart. BUT it does work. Once I fix the seat I will also rig up a better foot system as the current straps are way too far back and are just cumbersome.
My shooting out of the stand is a subject that is best left to the abyss of lost souls and broken dreams. AKA my shooting was absolutely terrible. Now granted I have taken a week or two off due to work getting busy and making excuses for why I wasn't shooting. But it was still bad. Worse than the first day I started shooting. Pictures of the stand will be up within the weekend.
Thanks for reading.
