    Default Tree lounge

    Recently acquired a newer model aluminum tree lounge green in color
    Ive always used summit climbers but never even seen or heard of a tree lounge so I thought I’d give it a try. Is there anything I need to be aware of it didn’t come with a owners manual and the few videos I watched on the internet seem pretty straight forward for packing, unpacking and setting it up.

    Heavy but packs flat. Very comfortable for long sits but not very easy to shoot from. Also due to the way it attaches to the tree, the pitch angle changes a lot with small changes in tree diameter. Thing weighs like 30 pounds IIRC. I have the adjusters on mine which is great for the pitch adjustment but they are HEAVY.
    If it ain\'t accurate at long distance, then the fact that it is flat shooting is meaningless.

    Money stand. Had one for a long time. My dad still has one. The trick for adjusting in the stand if it doesn’t have the buoy in adjuster is a wedge and bungee cord on the back of the tree to address the angle you want to sit at. Very comfortable for longer sits.

    Might solve the problem of my legs falling asleep after 20min of napping in my API.

    I had one that was stolen off private land… I left it on the tree bc it was stupid heavy.

    I’m glad it was stolen now that I think about it.
