2011 was very good to us.  We were able to get our first units manufactured late in the year, meet a lot of awesome hunters, and learn a lot.  In 2011 we visited 2 shows...Minnesota and Alabama, helped out with 2 disabled hunts here in Illinois, and went to several venues where we were able to interact with a lot of great people.  In some of those interactions we gained a lot of insight for how to improve our stand.  We are truly grateful for every bit of advice we received.  We used almost every bit of advice we got and made several modifications to our stand.  We went through about 4 different prototypes of our stand this past year and thanks to everyone's ideas and advice we think we have finally got it right.  Already a month into 2012 we are looking forward to maybe trying to attend a couple more shows, helping out on more hunts, and meeting more hunters and listening to their stories and insight.  Also, not to give too much away but we have a "top secret" treestand model that we have been working on, that will for sure turn some heads.  This stand will perhaps be our most impressive design yet, and we are excited about it.  Keep checking back with us over the next few months as we unveil more about this stand.  Thank you to everyone.  Have a great 2012, and Happy Huntin'!
