GORILLA TREESTAND GREYBACK Tree Stands
Tree Stands Manufacturer: GORILLA TREESTAND
GORILLA TREESTAND Model: GREYBACK
Review Category: Tree Stands
Purchase: Tree Stands BOUGHT AT CABELAS. 2005. PAID $179.00 WANTED A LIGHT AND PACKABLE STAND. COST WAS LOWER THAN I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO PAY FOR ANY STAND.
Things I like about the GORILLA TREESTAND GREYBACK Tree Stands: THE GREYBACK IS LIGHT 19LBS. THE CABLE SYSTEM AND SECURITY STRAPS ONCE INSTALLED MAKE THIS STAND VERY STABLE. IT PACKS TOGETHER EASILY. I WILL PACK IT IN A GARMENT BAG (BAG UNFOLDED) WHEN I TRAVEL ON AIRLINES. I ARCHERY HUNT 25 OR MORE TIMES A SEASON AND IN THREE STATES AND THIS STAND IS VERY COMFORTABLE.
What I don't like about the GORILLA TREESTAND GREYBACK: I HAD TO REMOVE THE NOISY PLASTIC LOCK PIN RETAINERS STRAPS. I UPGRADED THE BACKPACK STRAPS. ADDED PADDED ARMRESTS AND BOW HOLDER. THE SECURITY STRAP BUCKLE HAVE A ELASTIC HOLDER TO KEEP THEM FROM CLANKING WHEN PACKED TOGETHER. THESE STRECHED OUT AND WERE REPLACE WITH CAMO CAN HOLDERS WHICH MAKE A BETTER POCKET TO SECURE THEM WHEN PACKING IN AND OUT OF THE WOODS. I WRAPPED SOUND DEADING TAPE ON THE STAND WHERE METAL TOUCHES METAL WHEN PACKED TOGETHER. THE LATEST GORILLA STANDS HAVE SOME OF THESE MODIFICATIONS.
Tree Stands GREYBACK quality: CONSTUCTION OF THIS STAND IS VERY GOOD. THE MOVING ARMS AND FOOT PLATFORM ARE SOLID AND QUIET. THE CABLES SHOW NO SIGN OF WEAR ,AND THE PAINT HAS HELD UP.
GREYBACK summary: I STARTED HUNTING WITH THE BAKER TREESTAND MANY YEARS AGO AND MADE SOME OF MY OWN. I PURCHACED MANY TREESTANDS LOOKING FOR LIGHTWEIGHT MATERIALS, SOLID CONSTUCTION, SMALL SIZE AND PACKABILITY. MOST OF ALL IS BEING SAFE AND SECURE AT 28' OFF THE GROUND. I HAVE RECOMMENDED THIS STAND AND THE NEWER VERSION TO MY HUNTING KRONIES.
