I sleep in mine all the time. Not good for hunting but great for sleeping.

You know it's comfortable when you can sleep in it.

I hunt 10 days in a row during the rut. I will not sit in another stand. My GS is so comfortable! If I did not have to eat or ... take a break. I would stay all day. Its better than my recliner. Now thats a thought... Just if I could set it up in my living room!

agree with Deerhead.... most comfortable made... I have 3... one heavy man and two regular GS... the heavy man is a little heavier but also a little wider and longer ( sits further from the tree ), awesome on an all day sit

I wish the back had one more position forward but overall, it's hard to beat. Plenty of room with plenty of ways to stow your gear and keep it handy.

Drill one more hole and move the pin. A friend of mine does this to all his GS's.

Best stand on market. How do you guys go about painting y'all's and getting the paint to stay

Wipe down with acetone. Self-etching spray paint in the automotive section at WM. About $5 a can, OD or gray. Use SE paint as base coat. Stripe with cheap flat black. Turns out pretty good.

you can bow hunt out of the original just fine, I just keep the lower section a little closer to the seat section so that when I stand I clear the top rail easily

Yep. Only stand I hunt out of anymore. Bow, crossbow, or rifle. Other stands might be more convenient for bow/crossbow hunting, but none are as comfortable. I'd much rather be comfortable. I can set for 4+ hours without even standing, and I have gone all day a time or two with only standing up a time or two.

I have the combo. No problem napping if I have to.

Wipe down with vineagar so the paint will not flake. I've had mine for 7 years with no flaking yet. My 1st one is still in just as good of shape. Gave it to the wife.

How do you use a safety harness with a stand that faces the tree? I just got a deal on a new Gunslinger, but have concerns with the harness lanyard getting in the way.

I added an extension to my hss. A little bit of a hassle. As safe as a gs is you still need to were a safety restraint

If you sand it down with an electric sander before you paint it, the paint will last for years. My first one is ten years old and has just a couple of scratches. A lot cheaper to get from his shop too if you're ever in Jacksonville, FL.

Very comfortable stands and you will enjoy it. Not really a stand you want to pack in and out all the time. I prefer Summit Vipers because I just don't like facing the tree.

You can if you remove a little dry wall and expose 2 studs.

That's me in a GS in my profile pic. Very comfortable. Gun for gun or bow. I had gun rests on one side and a bow holder on the other. I owned 3 but finally sold them because the reclining seat that makes it so comfortable got to causing me low-back pain after sitting in it for a few hours. Now all I have are Summit Vipers.
