I do think safety is a very important aspect in hunting, you have all ages and all levels of physical ability, and all types of terrain to cover as well as hunting stands. Well GSG, I watched the video, well done. The only thing that came to my mind is that as far as I can tell, you'd first have to climb your stand without your weapon to hook up the top clip, then back down to hook the weapon up to it, then climb back up and pull up the weapon. Now, we all know that's what should be done, but in reality I'm not sure everybody is going to do that. Let me say that using the Gunslinger would not only be safer, but would save any mishaps like falling weapons. I'll also say that hunters should NOT have their weapon loaded when climbing or pulling up weapons, whether they are rifle, shotgun, bow, or spear!!
I'm not new to hunting stands, and the straight up ones are the most difficult. I use a sling, but with the weapon under my front, i.e., basically backwards from what is done in the states where it is slung over your back. This way I can keep both hands free to hold the ladder and there's no way the weapon can get loose. You can hug it with your arm while still using your hands. This is critical at night or after snow or ice storms make slippery steps.
I like your site -- when I clicked on Jay's and searched for gunslinger it didn't come up, they must not have it loaded. Also, I see you have the Euro price available, neat. I'll have to check out your site some more, good job, Waidmannsheil, Dom.
