I'm pushing the limit on weight on these things especially with gear. I have an old one in the garage I've never even hunted out of but may use at my pre-set bolt locations with the saddle for the longer sits.
Anyone at, close or over the weight limit and have no issues? I'm assuming the weight limit is one of those where actual failure occurs at a much greater weight but just wanted to run it by you guys that have used them in the past.
If the creaking and popping comes with the heavier guys that would be a no go for me too.
this is before treestand manu. assoc. standards and reliance on 3rd party testing wasn't as big, so i doubt anyone knows the true ratings on one of the originals by today's standards and how that transfers to actual break strength
now mark's will probably be tested
