NEED PICS!! I would love to have stands up all over but the cost is just too much. This sounds like a great idea. Thanks in advance.

I just spent $99.88+ tax 5%... On a APIBaby Grand Strap on Stand And another $16 on Pegs... So that's $120.87... And no time lost... at 5 hours... That stand would have Cost mealot more then $120... And nothing against you, but it's probably not as safe as the API...

This is Nothing against anyone who has built, is building a stand... Just my 2 cents on it... Don't mean to offend...

BTW Bass Pro has the stands onsale... I went and picked up 3 last weekend, and I can't wait to get out get them hung...

Good Luck...

Just bought 2 new lock-on's this summer - $29 each. 8 screw-in steps @ $2 ea. = $45. No time lost, and time is money.

Please define time lost. I came from hunting at 730 pm, instead of sitting on my butt infront of the TV(that is time lost IMO) I worked out in the garage. By the way yall ever have a screw in step pull out or break? I have ! There for I use a climbing stick.
