I love mine but I cannot really compare to the QAD as I'm relatively new to archery. This is the first rest I've bought and I've had no problems with it. My cousin has also been shooting with it for awhile now. Only complaint I have is the felt has worn relatively quickly but I plan to replace that and ill be good to go.

That's crazy what are the odds to be able to catch that.

Awesome pics hopefully you'll be able to put a tag on one of those bulls! Thanks for sharing.

Beautiful thanks for sharing

Thanks for sharing awesome bulls.

I'm looking at purchasing a treestand prior to the August archery hunting season. I know like a lot of other hunting equipment there's always personal preference,but I'm wondering what a good purchase would be. I'm completely new to treestands only hunting out of ground blinds previously. Should I look at a climber or hang on ? Any brands ? I've looked at the Summit Viper Sd stand. Are all stands pretty easy to learn how to use? Is there anything that I need to consider when it comes to a harness ? Will the harness I see that comes with some of the tree stands be sufficient ? I appreciate any insight people who have used treestands can provide. Thanks.

IA born thank you for your reply definitely will look at upgrading the harness and you make a good point about how to effectively use a hang on stand quickly that I hadn't ever considered. Viper thanks for your advice as well. Few reasons I'm considering a tree stand include improved visibility, I think it will be a cooler temp option during a hot Aug hunt, and I'm getting married next year so I'm trying to purchase one hunting item I have yet to purchase before I take on more important financial respbilities. The UsFs reg on treestands and tree damage is definitely a con when I look into the treestand option. Unfortunately govt is too dang controlling these days.

Couesmagnet sorry to hear about the stands. Sucks that those type of people exist. Unfortunately you just cannot get away from them even way back in the woods. In your situation have you found a way that makes it more difficult to have your stand stolen. I was thinking about using a cablelock or multiple like oneshot suggested. I'm assuming after you've had three stolen you've probably developed a system.

Oneshot thanks for the advice. I'm leaning more towards a climber. I will definitely have a second person with me the first few times I use the stand to avoid getting stuck and hanging for hours waiting for someone to find me.

I'm new to this forum as well. I spoke with a game warden at one of the recent sporting shows. I was told if you harvest a deer during the non permit season and you are fortunate to get drawn for rifle that you can donate that permit still towards a junior hunter. Im not sure of the specifics of how you would do this,but I know there are some great charities like hunt of a lifetime or outdoor experience for all. It's something ill definitely consider if I run into this predicament. Happy hunting.
