RE: Equalizer Treestand
it is a good stand. I do like the adjustment abilities of it. I did like my buddies centershot better though. the seat on the buckshot/equalizers does leave a bit to be desired though. I am going to see if a summit seat will fit it. I am considering going to geta third climber, this time a summit. too many good things said about them.

RE: Equalizer Treestand
I requested the DVD over the weekend.
NavyDeerHunter has already bought one, he gives it a thumbs up with the exception of the seat.
I am going to meet up with him to take alook at the standonce he gets back from the west coast.
I am surprised no one else has focused on the ability to level the stand once up in the tree.
I have tried everything including starting the stand upwards, I even took a piece of 2X4 up the tree to put in between the chain and tree to take up slack (it didnt last long the stand was unstable)

RE: Equalizer Treestand
I just recieved the CD today and of course I watched it as soon as I could. I must say that it appears to be very well thought out. Based upon the CD I must say I'm impressed. Hopefully I'll get to see one in person sometime.

RE: Equalizer Treestand
I have one and have used it about 4 times. I really like the way it packs, carries, sets up and most of all the leveling system. They could improve the seating, but that's no big deal...and actually an advantage as it keeps me more alert and is MUCH easier to get off of/out of than the sling type seat that my API has. Overall I'm very impressedand highly recommend it.
