You don't pull yourself up with your arms you more just hang on with your hands and forearms and pull your legs up. They're a little tougher to climb with obviously than a stand up sit down style but if you have decenet upper body strength you should be ok. The Open shot is nice and light and packs great. I had the first incarnation of it years ago when it was the first "Bushmaster" (but mine was steel) The Summit Open Shot is a great bowhunting stand. If you could find one of that type that you liked, I really believe you would be happier. You can buy rests to hook to them, to secure a gun or bow in, while you are climbing, and be perfectly safe.Īll in all though, I would say that in relation to your inquiry, as far as I can help, I perfer a stand up sit down type of climber. I have not bought one, as I am older now and use more tower and ladder stands, but I have still heard some good things about them. The brand kind of died, but you can see it ressurected almost exactly,now, as a gorilla treestand. The problem is, they ran into cash problems and such and wound up in bankruptcy. They produced a Grand ol' man that had a built in gun / foot rest ( it would filp over depending on which way you wanted it ) Archery or Gun, and the mesh seat was very comfortable.
A good type of unit, one that I fell in love with the idea of, was the old man tree stands. Fairly easy to get used to, but I will say that it is easier in a stand up sit down unit. Never used that partivular model, but in the past, in my younger days, I used a hand climbing model.
