RE: Crotch Stands
Not sure who makes them anymore but once in a while you can catch them on Ebay. Only thing that bothered me about the commercial crotch type stands is the small platforms. Geesh they seem small.

RE: Crotch Stands
Here is one version that recently was on Ebay made by Barrie Archery. Note the wood platform. Another popular version was by Bear River or Rivers Edge(can't remember) and its platform was steel or aluminum.

Rivers Edge used to make a good one. But...many land owners wouldn't allow them to be used. The stand anchored into the tree by 4 solid metal bars with points.
If you tried it on the younger trees, you could do some serious damage.

RE: Crotch Stands
I thought you were maybe talking about the strap-on seats. But coug's picture set me straight. I used to have a strap-on seat but it got swiped from the back of the truck. It was cool. Could strap onvarious sizes of trees at any angle and was comfortable. It was shaped like an old steel tractor seat. Think I got it from like Cabela's or Sportsman's Guide.
