Title: Ol Man Vision Treestand for longbows?
Post by: Follower on August 21, 2010, 10:33:00 PM
Who hunts from an Ol Man stand with a longbow.  I'm a Lone Wolf guy but wanting to get a more comfortable stand for those all day sits. Any problems shooting a longbow from an Ol Man?  I'm thinking the Vision model.

I hunt from one and have killed close to 20 deer out of them with my longbow. I have older ones and don't remember the model name. The one I use the most is the one where the bar in front is down for a foot rest. I have killed 3 or 4 sitting when I stand I go to the end and bend at the waist. Most of the time I'm 25' to 30' up. My bow is 62".

I tried hunting out of my grand vision with a 66" longbow and didn't like it . Felt like the bottom limb was going to hit something whether it was or not.Not enough room to shoot to the side and up close for me. Went to a Lone Wolf hand climber and the ole man has not been out of the shop since. I will use it again if I ever go back to hunting with a rifle much.
