My favorite ladderstand is no longer available. It was marketed by Field and Stream stores (Hunting and fishing division of Dick's Sporting Goods, now defunct), 16' to the seat with a foot platform that extended all the way to the tree. Seat folded up to give you a big, stable platform to stand on. It came with the shooting rail and arm rests, but I just left them off when I assembled the stand. There is a stand on Sportsman's Guide that looks very much like the F&S, but I haven't actually seen one in person. I believe it is called the Bowhunter and is 18" to the seat, but you could easily leave off a ladder section if that is too tall. Prices are decent, and they usually drop after the season. If you buy one and like it, buy some more! I'd planned to pick up 2 or 3 more F&S, but after COVID, they did away with the stand and then the stores. Good Luck!>>>------>
