A quick back story, I was a ding dong and stupidly and accidentally left my Beast stand at the parking area of a public hunting area in the 2023 season. When I went back the next night (in the middle of the night after I realized what I did), of course the stand was long gone. Searching, calling, knocking on doors etc. didn’t help anything.
Now a few months later I think I’m about done licking my wounds and am considering getting another high dollar hang on stand. I’m trying to decide if I should go with the beast stand again or maybe try a LWCG .75 or 1.0. I loved the beast stand but wasn’t wild about the flexing at the front of the platform. The seat pad was ok, but that can always be changed. Otherwise everything else about it was amazing. No complaints. Since then I bought a Novix Helo to finish out the season and I really do love that stand, even though it’s slightly heavier to today’s standards. (I guess the other option here is to stick with the Helo and let the expensive stand dream go.)
I have owned a LWCG .5 before and liked it pretty well but didn’t love the flexing of the seat and post when I sat on it. I don’t want to go that small again but just throwing it out there to state I have experienced one of their stands before.
I am 170-175lbs and 5’10” so my weight isn’t a big concern to me.
Would like to get some insights and opinions of anyone who’s owned either of these stands/brands and especially ones who have owned both and prefer one over the other and why. Just wanting to try and sway more one way or the other because I am the king of analysis paralysis. Thanks!
