Tree Stands
How to choose tree stands
Sub-type match
Pick the sub-type that fits your main hobby: Hunting, Hunting & Shooting, Outdoor Recreation, or Sporting Goods.
Use case
Pure Hunting suits stalking, while Outdoor Recreation favours easy observation.
Dual role
Hunting & Shooting covers both, but decide if that overlap helps you.
Location
Sporting Goods stands match club use more than remote field hunts.
What's good
- A Hunting tree stand lifts you above ground for a better sightline.
- Outdoor Recreation models give a quiet perch for watching the countryside.
- Sporting Goods stands provide a fixed point for practice or coaching sessions.
- Hunting & Shooting types blend a hide and a rest, so you carry less separate kit.
Things to watch
- A Hunting stand can be more than a casual Outdoor Recreation user needs.
- Outdoor Recreation types may not meet the demands of a Hunting & Shooting plan.
- Sporting Goods stands may tie you to one spot, unlike roaming Hunting use.
- Hunting & Shooting models serve two purposes, which can complicate a simple outing.
Care & maintenance
Pre-use check
Check locks and joints before you head out.
Clean after trip
Clear off mud and leaves after each use, then let it dry.
Storage
Store the stand indoors during the off season.
Moving parts
If your stand folds, work the hinges monthly to keep them free.
