Screaming eagle stands
« on: December 26, 2013, 09:26:00 PM »
With the NC season winding down, I make notes on how I can improve my next years season. Mainly about future purchases, stand location changes, etc.
I was wondering if anyone has purchased a screaming eagle stand lately.

Check screaming eagle .com

Still made and still the BEST stand you can own.  By far the safest too. DOn't trust your life to anything else.

By far my favorite stand.  When the temperatures drop they are quietest stand I have found.

For those out there who are still using the same stands for close to thirty years, be safe and check them annually.  The cabels and bolts might need replacing.
The broadhead used, regardless of how sharp, is nowhere as important as being able to place it in the correct spot.

Tim, I used my old SE stand as a pattern to make a few knock offs. they turned out good. Ive since modified most of them to hang like the chipawa wedge loc stands. Shame is I hardly ever use them anymore. Hunt mostly out of climbers now. they just setting in my shed. If you ever get over this way, give me a hollar and I'll make you a deal on them. Don

I have four that are from when they first came out. Except for putting new seats on them they are the most trustworthy stands I have.

These are pretty much all my family has used for years and years - I honestly don't know how many we have altogether, but it's quite a few.

Some of our spots have had quite a few problems with trespassing, and my buddy had several stolen.  To remedy this, my father had a section of square tubing welded by a friend between the two "spikes" at the top under the seat.  He then drilled holes through these tubes front and back and top to bottom.  We then run a bolt through the tubing into the tree once it's in place, which braces it further, and then we place a Master lock through the tube top to bottom, with the chain wrapped into it.  You can't get the lock off to get to the bolt without cutting the stand in half.  Even if the chain is cut, the bolt holds.

In 20+ years we've never had one stolen - we know some people have tried.

I can take pictures to explain if anyone is interested.

I have several made by Paul and three years ago I bought a new "Boss" Screaming Eagle and three separate brackets for it. This way I don't have to worry about my stand being stolen because I carry it with me along with my climbing sticks. Still the best stand period.

Regards,
Rick

I have three of them, two of the three are the eaglet style a miniature of the eagle. The only hang on stand I own.

Don's homemade versions are exactly like what I killed my first deer out of. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, right? Good memories.

I too have made about 15 and have served me well. Last season I modified the seat to be exactly like that of a millennium. The one negative is that old seat is so uncomfortable! I went to a awning manufacture and picked up some of the same material and now its like a lawn chair in a tree. Now the negative is falling asleep. Screaming eagles are outstanding stands.

I bought 2 from Paul in 1988. Still use 'em every year. When I was younger I could spend 11 hours in one, even in 15 degree temps. That seat was--and still is--so uncomfortable that I never could doze off. I modified the product with some kind of pad/cushion and that helped some. Best stand in the world for safety and quietness.

I bought Paul's safety harness back then too and it still fit as late as 2002 or so...
