VTbrshbstr Posted December 6, 2012 Report Share Posted December 6, 2012 So I currently have two of the standard Dicks Comfort Zone hang on stands and an old Warren and Sweet light weight aluminum hang on stand. I'm thinking I may up grade next year to stands with foot rest on them for a little more comfort. my question is weather its worth it to spend the extra money for stands with shooting rails as well? I do plan on getting into bow hunting next year if that makes any difference. Also do the arm rest on some hang on stands get into the way while drawing a bow?

Ravin R10 man Posted December 6, 2012 Report Share Posted December 6, 2012 The Bone Collector Deluxe at Walmart have a rail and footrest..for bow hunting I take the rail and drop it down so it is hanging under the stand..and the arm rest are not in the way..we have had no problem drawing...and I shoot while sitting and dont stand if I dont have to..less movement to alert deer.seat is a sling seat and not bad to sit in...like I said in other post $69 on sale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbHunterNY Posted December 6, 2012 Report Share Posted December 6, 2012 all my stands don't have shooting rails or foot rests because i mainly bowhunt. if you do get one with a rail i'd get one like Martin suggested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VTbrshbstr Posted December 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2012 Thanks for the info guys. The Bone Collector stand sounds like a really deal, unfortunately i cant spend any money on one at the moment. Just trying to gather info for later on. I want the foot rest because after a few hours in the the stand it seems like it would be awesome to be able to move my feet to another position. I like the idea of the shooting rails for gun hunting but from what I see in pictures the look they would be to low to actually shoot off of?. I've been looking at this one from Sportsmans Guide.
