Overview
Built for hunters who want a secure, elevated setup for long sits, this ladder stand combines a locking tree attachment system with a truss design that helps reduce noise and expand placement options, including offset trees. The 22-foot shooting height is suited to situations where staying concealed while maintaining a clear view matters, and the flip-up, adjustable padded shooting rail adds flexibility for both bow and rifle use. Comfort-focused details include a Textilene seat with EVA foam cushioning, padded armrests, an oversized foot platform, and a footrest for more relaxed all-day positioning. It is a practical choice for hunters looking for stability, support, and quiet operation in a traditional ladder stand format.

- At 22 feet to the shooting rail, this stand is geared toward elevated setups and may be more than needed for shorter setups or tighter hunting areas.
- The flip-up, adjustable shooting rail adds support for rifle use, but it can be an extra component to manage when hunting with a bow.
- The truss system and stabilizer strap expand placement options, but they also add setup steps compared with a simpler ladder stand.
- This is a ladder stand with a fixed elevated profile, so it is best suited to trees and locations that can accommodate its height and footprint.
