New Climber from Lone Wolf- Looks Great, but $$$$$

11½lbs ... Looks good but assuming that slender bar is the climbing "seat" it's not much of a usable shooting rail.

This is designed for vertical bow hunters in mind I think- Lone Wolf is out of IA, where crossbows are only permitted during the late muzzleloader season if I remember correctly, certain disabilities, and over like age 70. Don't quote me on any of that, but I think the purpose of this set up is minimal weight, in conjunction with a vertical bow. One of my climbers has a rail, and one does not. The one with the rail is actually lighter than the other since the other requires climbing sticks. All have their advantages and disadvantages.

I have a lone wolf and love it. It is quiet, light weight, easy to climb with, secure, and packs up compactly. Don't think I'd spend that kind of $$ for a new one. That's just me and my situation (budget). Too some, they'll be worth it. I've had mine for about ten years. Change the straps every few years and inspect it - you're good to go. I believe we're seeing what law suits, some frivolous, do to an industry. You still hear on TV commercials how we need to fight these "big insurance Co.'s". If us human's could be me honest, just ask for what's owed and pay what's due, things would go soo smooth. It will never happen but I can DREAM! We pay now or we pay later. Sorry, I got off track a little. Nice looking stand!

i had hear about this.....11.5 pound sort of make saddle hunting a waisted effort.

They will sell a bunch of these to saddle hunters is my guess.

If you are familiar with Lone Wolf products then you know they make some awesome stuff, but they also usually cost about 3x as much as similar products. They just came out with this new climber, which looks super light weight, but man the cost is crazy high. I copied the link below.

Looks to lightweight in areas to be comfortable and safe i have 2 now that i dont use anymore

$1,000 for a climbing stand.. ouch!
I've had a lone wolf climber for many years. Paid less than a third that cost. Added pipe insulation to the rail to solve several problems. Also glad I have more stands than I need at this point in my life.

Lone Wolf was my treestand of choice back in the day. I spent many hours setting in mine for years. Back then i would have had one of these.

I’m too poor

....that AIN'T the only reason 🙀🏌🏌

Nice looking stand HOWEVER I don't think I could spend too much quality time in it...don't look all that comfy...

I like the idea of 11.5 lbs and I could probably make it comfortable. I can't get past the price tag, when summits go on sale you could buy three stands for the price of this one.

Way too heavy for a saddle platform, they will sell very few to saddle hunters...it's a climber. It will appeal to those that want the lightest climber and don't know what to do with their money. My guess is those with a comfortable climber like the summits, would care less about a climber that weighs a little less and is not as comfortable and has a questionable shooting rail. Time will tell

I’m sure it’s a great stand, but the price tag is going to scare off a lot of potential buyers.

I’m still using the same climber I bought at the SHOT show in 1988 when it was held in Dallas, and it’s contributed to the death of A BUNCH of deer and pigs.

Andre will sell a ton of them. I heard all of this when is LW Custom hang stand came out. I was at a show and the orders piled in.

I have a friend who designed a new recurve of his models using carbon. 1500.00. You will wait 22 months to get one now. Quality sel

Yes, but I have seen tree saddles with climbing systems and platforms cost about the same.

Impressive construction but that may be a product they regret bringing to market. The Twinstrike of climbers..... Light weight is the only thing that I see that's appealing. A max trunk diameter of only 18"????

I've spent long days in a climber as a hunter and there's no way that stand and I would get along for an all day hunt.

Good luck to those folks on this one!

HAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHHAAHHAHAHAHAHA

They are retard.

I was curious to see what all of you thought of this. I have a Summit Viper and a "Lone Wolf" from a different company of the same name (quality hang on stand with climbing sticks). I very rarely use either simply because I prefer being on the ground. Usually only use one of the climbers when hunting on public and want to hunt over tall grassy areas/crp. I don't mind lugging them in or out, but I hate the noise I make putting either up. Maybe some of you are quieter than I am, but I just can't seem to do it quietly. Back to the thread, I am guessing he will sell plenty of these, despite the high price tag (many of use, myself included will pay $3,000+ on a bow or gun).

yea this is definitely a state land hunter product i.m.o..

Need light weight and might sit in a spot after works for 3 hours or less.
Might move around frequently depending whos where.
Much less farting around then a saddle.
I see a market for it. I been there myself but Its about 300.00 high on price i.m.o if its is 1000.00
