Title: Most comfortable stand EVER!
Post by: mec lineman on January 21, 2014, 08:07:00 PM
I've got a shed full of hang ons and climbers. I have never had a comfortable hang on. My stands are small, light ,and uncomfortable! They work fine for a few hour sits. Needing a stand for all day sits,I started searching for the perfect stand. I HAVE FOUND IT! MILLENNIUM M-150 MONSTER. this stand is huge,but only weighs 19lbs Adjustable seat height and platform leveling. The seat is PERFECT, the hanging bracket is well designed.   (http://i1286.photobucket.com/albums/a606/cmlphelps/02c8fe00-e952-49e5-85b1-0824fe19523c_zps3b5b4736.jpg?t=1390352777)

The seat material is like my patio furniture,so it will not stay wet.  These stands are pricey,but well worth it! when I sat in this stand the first time, I was like YES! The great thing is the hanging bracket can stay on the tree and all you do is pull a pin and take just the stand down

My brother hung a millennium that I hunted a few times, hands down the most comfortable stand I have ever sat in.

The only thing I'd catch with "the most comfortable stand ever" is Zzzzzs.

I need a scary one that keeps me on my toes and awake.

I modified my screaming eagles stands with seats just like the millennium. They are very comfortable and now I have trouble remaining awake!

Not to be a party pooper but I Find them a little noisy  but very comfortable!  I had the M100 and got rid of it despite the comfort.

My buddy missed his chance at a 140+ deer this year when he shifted his weight.  Bind the stand tight against tree instead of just relying on the the hanging bracket!spicket connection

Very comfortable sit, however it is more difficult to stand to shoot without more movement than most hang ons. I have to scoot forward on the seat then stand which leaves me out on the front of he platform, fold seat and scoot backwards on stand-lot of extra movement. When I hang this stand it is at a 45-60 degree angle to expected shot to allow for easy shooting from a sitting position.

Nice looking stands I've looked at them in the big store catalogs.  Is it something you hang and leave, or could you do a walk in hang, hunt then take it back out with you with a set of sticks?

Nice, I Like mine a little higher but for sure it would be easy and safe to get into and out of.

For all you ground pounders out there, you should try their M300 seat.  It is the same seat as above but designed to use at ground level.  Talk about Siesta time...Very comfortable!  I picked up two for $19.99 each a couple years ago on clearance.   :)

Haha, I've always tortured myself with "el cheap" Walmart type
stands. None of mine even have padded seats. I like to spend my money on other stuff I guess. Might have to try one next year.
Does the seat get in the way?

I got one this year. I agree, best stand ever. The bracket makes it easy to put up and it is as comfy as a chair in the living room.

They are the best of tree stands..I own lone wolf,summit,gorilla and this millenium is the most comfortable and easiest sitting out there.the m 100 is great also. If you want to sit comfortable carry light weight and just remove the seat and leave the bracket then get one of these. You can buy multiple brackets and hang in several locations and just carry the seat in,hang it and you're sitting in no time..I've spent lots of money on stands and these are the best.

I too have lots of stands mentioned above. But when I put up a stand I'm expecting to put long hours in I use my Millenium stand in. Great stand!

I have one and I have to say the only bad thing about it is fighting to stay awake.

And "our own" Big Jim carries them. I just checked them out at Big Jim's Bow Company.

I just love the millennium stands. That's all I use and pretty much left all the others in the woods to rot.

The new m100 coming out this year is even lighter I want to say it is slightly larger platform, but don't quote me on that.

I prefer the new m150's to them all.

thanks, bigjim

Nope.  It is a big seat, but flips up easily when you stand.

The stands are rated at 300lbs and I am pushing about 320 lbs necked...but I don't hunt that way  :)

In the beginning I found the platform a slight bit small on the M100 and the seat kind of low (I'm 6'3" tall).
What I learned is that If I push down on one of the seat side straps, it helps me to stand very slowly and quietly. When I'm on my feet, I take one small step back and push the seat up and out of the way with my thigh. Now I have plenty of platform room. The m150's are better in both regards. They have larger platforms and an adjustable seat...very very light too.

My take is that they are the lightest, most comfortable and safest to hang lock on stands on the market and at a fair price.

I've got one of their ladder stands super duper sweet and comfy

I liked the looks of these but as is the case with a lot of stands made today the platform mesh is pretty light. I wont hunt from these stands because here in Michigan when it gets cold as I move the cheap mesh pops and crinkles and has blown it on a couple bucks. anymore I usually look at the platform material first then everything else such as comfort second.
Title: Re: Most comfortable stand EVER!
Post by: BigJim on January 24, 2014, 07:17:00 AM
DWT, I have never hunted from them at temps colder than 15 degrees, but had no problems with them what soever...no noise, no excessive movement and I'm putting a lot of pressure on them.

Their new platforms are even nicer.

I could sell any stand I want, but I find it much easier to sell the ones I can say good things about.

I've owned most of the brands out there (Summit, Lone Wolf, etc) as I've spent years searching for the perfect treestand. Anytime a new hang-on (I don't use climbing stands) came out that looked promising, I bought it.

I discovered the Millennium stands 4 or 5 years ago. I sold the pile of stands I'd accumulated and now own over a dozen of the M100's. They are incredibly comfortable, and easy to hang. For my use (hang my stands in late summer and leave them up through November) they are perfect.

I've added their optional footrest to all of them, and it makes a great stand even better.

Highly recommended.

Stick, I bought an M100 alum this year and set it up like that. I wouldn't haul it real far, but on short hauls, slam dunk. I changed out the chain for a quiet strap. No issues for me.

Prob will phase out a lot of my other stuff for more of these. I'm not figgity, but these stands let you relax and stay STILL for hours. And that will let you see more deer.   :thumbsup:
