I'll be setting up a couple of Swivelimb's when I get home...

Looks interesting. Similar to the GT/Woodsey Too but with a separate mounting bracket (presumably making for easier install in the tree), an additional horizontal leveling axis and an adjustable seat.

You can now level the base left to right and tighten the 4 bolts to 30 foot pounds so they are secure.

I guess you'd need to add a torque wrench to your archery tackle box!

Does anyone have the Johnson in Texas, or is online the only way to get one?
It looks like the best I've seen.

Cable,

I've got the GameTamer and wouldn't trade it for any amount of money. I don't think their made anymore, and my cousin called to buy mine. Told him it wasn't for sale. Before this post, I emailed him the like to the Johnson Treestand.

The Johnson Treestand looks like the best replacement going. If you have a place to use, I'd recommend getting one.

You won't regreat it.

Ok, so I got my new Johnson tree stand. It looks like what I expected. The seat cushion is cheap, but it did come with what I consider a nice harness which I wasn't expecting.

I hung it for the first time yesterday. I had a particularly challenging tree in mind and it took me a while to get it secure. My first attempt was a failure, good thing I used my harness. I was a little too agressive with my angle. If you try this read the instructions and make sure all the teeth of the base are engaging the tree. I had to drop down the tree to a more straight section. I like it and I think it is great now that it's secure. I am considering adding a couple lag bolts to really get it stuck on there and I would never step onto it without a harness.

I think I made the right choice because my daughter prefers this stand due to the larger platform.

On a closer look at the base of the Johnson stand vs the Swivelimb stand, it seems to me the Swivelimb stand would actually be more versatile to the tree angle due to the smaller contact point with the tree.

My next stand will probably be a swivelimb which also comes with a harness by the way.

Great review! I'll be using your advice when I look into my next stand.

How much do these things cost?

[stone386]

$320 + about $45 shipping for me.
