For those hunters looking for a versatile way to hunt elevated, Ol'Man's AlumaLite CTS climbing stand, by Millennium Treestands, could be just the ticket. Lightweight and adjustable, the AlumaLite CTS is perfect for hunters who prefer to scout around for hot spots.
The AlumaLite CTS provides a multifunctional, portable shooting platform designed for all-day comfort. The stand can be set up with the classic Ol'Man straight bar, or the included reversible Gun Rest/Footrest to accommodate both gun and bow hunters. The stand incorporates a patented, 21-inch wide ComforTech seat, designed for long sits in the woods, waiting on that cruising buck.
Numerous improvements from previous models have been made, including the incorporation of high-strength, lightweight oval tubing, and an improved cable system for easier and quieter setup. The stand also features pivoting, spreading arms for secure attachment to trees of various sizes, while the all-new 18X32-inch standing platform is designed to be lighter while still providing room for larger individuals. Finally, improved tubing-style foot straps ease entry and heighten stability, barely contributing to the setup's 21-pound overall weight.
