Seeing the Bass Pro Shop thread gave me an idea. To everybody that has Ol' Man climbers and hate them, you can give them to me. I'd hate to see anybody climbing in such a dangerous stand. I'll make that sacrifice to keep everyone safe.


83% of all statistics are made up.

I love mine but it is the original vision from 15 years ago. I do not care for the newer ones. I am ready to get something new. Mine is to the point I almost don't trust it.


Nothing ventured, nothing gained.

My phone screen does not always work right, usually a lot of misspelled words....

I have hunted out of one for the last 15 years and love it. I have had no issues with mine. I did tare it down about 5 years ago to check it out and replace the bushings. My son bought me the new model this year but I kept hunting out of the old one.

They will knock yo butt out if you climb a hard, slick bark tree! LOL I've got an old (mid-90's) Grand Vision....tried to climb a power pole once and it about killed me 5' off the ground! Everybody I hunt with that uses an Ol Man will only climb a pine (or maybe a White Oak w/ soft, shaggy bark).
I've been hunting out of an API Grand Slam Shooting Star for years and years, it's heavy as heck, but I've never had a better stand. Never found a better combo of stability on the tree, comfort, and overall "useability". I have found API chains to hold the tree better than Summit cables.
Now, having said all that, I'm VERY interested in that new Ol Man Drone....that thing looks nice! Going to check one out before next season. It looks like they're using "teeth" on it, instead of the flat bars (where it touches the tree).

I put a lone wolf seat on mine and it is now usable. The net seat is uncomfortable.

There's only one treestand that my butt will ever sit in, and that's Millenium. By far the most comfortable, easiest and safest stand I've ever had!

That's one of the strong points IMO. I've spent many hours in an Ol' Man, always liked the net seat.

Only problem I ever had was put too much weight all to one side, near the back and they'll slip a little. In winter with a bunch of clothes on, the standard Ol' Man seems a little tight.
