RE: Tell me what you think bout these climbers
I own a Hunters View Hawkand like it. I can sit all day long in it if needed. Its a bit on the heavier side but its ease of climbingis great. I feel feel perfectly safe in mine. They are a very well built stand and a great stand for the money. I have had no issues with mine at all. Two thumbs up here.

I have a Hunter's View. It is heavy. I usually leave it where I hunt for that reason. I have found it to be comfortable enough to hunt all day. As far as strapping my boots in goes I took the nylon straps off and put Romex on. for those that don't know Romex is wire used to wire houses. I made a pair of stirrups and it works great. East to get your feet in and out of, it won't collapse and it is very durable.

About the climbing straps i myself find it easier to use the angled bars on the side of the foot platform works real well for me! Main thing is just tie the two pieces together!

RE: Tell me what you think bout these climbers
i have two older hawk climbers(metal) they are great all except the weight,1 1/2mile walks are a chore so i just leavethem where i hunt also.
i replaced the foot straps with bungees and always put 1 bungee around the back of my heels when climbing do this with all my climbers..
cant say what the new ones are like,they may have changed,but 6 years or so with a $99 stand, got my moneys worth.
very steardyand comfy, quieter than my viper but little harder to strap on a tree in the dark.

You can download them and print them out on their website! They have the instructions for every stand they have ever made on there.

i bought a hunters view stand a while ago and i'm extremely disappointed in it and the company. when i got the stand there were no instructions included for assembly or use. i've been trying to get the company to send me some but i can't get them to answer phone or email. i'll never buy anything from them again and will never reccommend that anyone else does either just because of that.
