Deer stand,
January 3, 2009
By Frank123
"The railing is worthless. It's too low in the front and non- existent on the sides. Besides this it's a good, sturdy stand. You will have to build a shooting rest with something. With that being said, $139 is a good price for this stand."

Great Product,
May 21, 2008
By Bigten
"I bought this stand to allow my son and nephew the opportunity to see what deer hunting was all about. The reviews on safety and ease of set up are true. My brother and I set the stand up in no time at all. I took my son with me this past October while I was archery hunting for whitetail deer. My son made it about 35 minutes and fell asleep in the stand, he was harnessed in of course, I woke him once and 8 pointer entered the woods from his side of the stand. It did not come within range but it was an experience that he won't soon forget."

Big Buddy 15 Ladderstand,
March 15, 2008
By TurkeyLegend
from Carmel, NY
"I saw this in the catalog and had to get this stand. It was easy to assemble. It was a little difficult to put against the tree but we got and turn it to the spot we wanted it. We went out on it and saw alot of does but none came to range. On November 20 I shot a four point out of it which was my first deer. Great buy I highly reccomend this stand."

"Purchased 1 of these before the 2005 rifle season. We were so impressed with them that we own 5 more now. Planning on buying 2 more this fall. Very sturdy tree stand with plenty of room for 2 grown men."

Very Solid Stand,
September 20, 2007
By fletch
from Bartlett, TN
"Pulled the stand from the box out in the field and had it put together in about 30 minutes. Instructions are OK and you shouldn't have any problems. Only problem with putting on the tree was keeping the back support bar from falling underneath the stand! Tightening the lock nuts a little more may have prevented this problem.
The two ratchet straps on the top basket make this a VERY SOLID stand once in place. At 15', the height is good. The seats are a little "thin" with padding, but not bad. Can't wait to get my son in the stand with me for the first time!
Bottom Line:
VERY SOLID, Easy Assembly, GREAT Price!"

Great deal!,
September 16, 2007
By sabinehunter
"I just bought a Big Buddy this week for my 12 year old son and I to use. I put it together myself. It only requires 2 7/16" wrenches and went together really well. Everything fit perfectly and all parts were there. The insructions were only OK, but the assembly as I said, is pretty basic.
As for putting it up, it says it takes 2 people, and would no doubt be easier, but I put it up by myself. It is really solid. I'm a big guy and feel totally secure when in this stand.
Now I'm thinking of buying a second one for our lease. I would give it 5 stars if the seat area was just just 2 inches wider and deeper and it had a foot rail. But for this price, it's pretty good."

Solid Performer,
August 27, 2007
By Al
from Myrtle Beach, SC
"Relatively easy to assemble, and all parts were included. The ladder locks together with snap shackles, which makes things really easy. Mine is anchored to a tree so large that I barely got the top ratchet straps around it, but man is it solid! This thing is amazingly stable and well, again, solid. Notice that I keep using that word?! The shooting rail is at a real good height, and I couldn't be any happier. The seats are comfortable. What more could you ask? I may get another of these, I'm so impressed."

Great Stand,

By Jdm5litereater
from Wilkesboro, NC
"This is a really great stand. I recently introduced my girlfriend to the wonderful sport of dear hunting. This is the only stand I have that she isnt afraid to get in. It is very sturdy and there is plenty of room for the both of us ( and im a pretty big person myself ). The stand was very easy to set up and is very quite once properly set up. The directions that came with the stand were easy to read and understand."
