Tree Stands Manufacturer: API
API Model: GRAND SLAM LITE SUPREME
Review Category: Tree Stands
Purchase: Tree Stands I PAID ROUND $200.00 FOR MY API AND I HAVE OWNED THE LOGGY BAYOU CLIBMER, SUMMIT CLIMBER AND A COUPLE OF OTHERS. MY CONCERNS WERE SLIPPAGE GOING UP OR DOWN THE TREE AND STABILITY ONCE THE STAND WAS IN I WILL RECOMMEND THIS STAND AGAINST ANY ON THE MARKET I CAN PUT IT IN A TREE 8" TO 12" IN DIAMETER UP TO ALLMOST 2' OR BETTER IT NEVER SLIPS THE CHAINS ARE COATED IN PLASTIC SO IT IS NOT NOISY AND ONCE UP IN THE TREE W/ THE RATCHET STRAP IT CAME WITH SECURING THE SEATED PART YOUR SECURE IT DOESN'T SQUEEK ITS VERRY RIGID AND I HAVE TRIED THEM ALL THIS STAND IS TOP NOTCH AND I HAVE RECOMMENDED IT TO ALL MY FRIENDS WHOM ARE FRUSTRATED WITH THEIR CURRENT STANDS EVEN GONE AS FAR AS TO LET THEM TRY IT. A FRIEND AND INLAW OF MINE JUST BOUGHT A NEW CLIMBER AND THE FIRST TIME HE USED IT THE STRAP ON THE BASE FOR CLIMBING PART BROKE OFF NEARLY CAUSING HIM TO COME OUT OF THE TREE. I WILL NOT SAY WHOM THE STAND WAS MADE BY BUT IF YOU WANT A CLUE THE INITIALS ARE (S.V.) A VERRY POPULAR STAND SO I HAVE HEARD BUT FOR THE MONEY $200.00 MIGHT SOUND A BIT COSTLY BUT ITS CHEAPER THAN A HOSPITAL BILL FOR A BROKEN BODY PART ITS THE ONLY STAND ILL LOAN TO A FRIEND OR FAMILY MEMBER. HOPE THIS HELPS WEAR YOUR SAFETY BELT ! NOTHING IS 100% BUT I HAVE HAD THAT STAND IN FROZEN WINTER TREES IN OHIO RAIN AND WIND. ILL NEVER BUY ANY OTHER STAND IF I EVER NEED ANOTHER IT WILL BE AN API!

Things I like about the API GRAND SLAM LITE SUPREME Tree Stands: 21 POUNDS BUT WORTH IT ! STILL LIGHTER THAN SOME OTHERS.
What I don't like about the API GRAND SLAM LITE SUPREME : RIGID ALIMINUM SQUARE TUBING POWDER COATED HEAVY CHAIN W / PLASTIC PROTECTION HEAVY SECURE PINS TO HOLD THEM IN NICE STURDY BASE W/ STICK ON ADHESIVE TRACTION STRIPS ON THE PLATFORM AND PLENTY OF ROOM ITS LIKE THE CADILLAC OF TREESTANDS. NICE CUSHIE SWINGING SEAT NOT A HARD SEAT BUT ATTACHED W 2" WIDE X-3 STRAPS PER SIDE A NICE 3 TO 4' HIGH BACK ALSO CUSHIE AND CONFORTABLE.
Tree Stands GRAND SLAM LITE SUPREME quality: IF YOUR GOING TO USE A CLIMBING STAND ALLOT AND DONT WANT THE EXTRA WORRIE IM TELLING YOU THE API GRAND SLAM LITE SUPREME IS THE BOWHUNTERS STAND YOU CANT BUY A MORE STURDY QUIET EASY TO HANDLE STAND. I HAVE USED IT FOR TURKEY HUNTING, DEER, COYOTE, EVERYTHING I HAVE EVEN USED IT FOR TRIMMING TREES @ HOME I ALLWAYS USE MY SAFETY BELT BUT HAVE NEVER NEEDED IT THIS STAND DOES NOT MOVE ONCE IN THE TREE !
GRAND SLAM LITE SUPREME summary: BE CAREFUL THESE STANDS HAVE ONE FAULT YOU CAN GET SO COMPFORTABLE YOU MIGHT FALL ASLEEP BE SURE TO HAVE SAFETY STRAP ON!
