WTB. API climber

[NH Hunter]

Just wondering if anyone had an older API grand slam they aren't using and would like to sell? I haven't been in the "searching for a tree stand" business for a long time. I'm surprised how few climbers are being manufactured now. Summit seems to be the gold standard at this point. Lonewolf isn't even carried through cabela's now. Things have changed. When I was using a climber my favorite and the one I was the most comfortable were the older API's.

I have an API model AL -703
climber. From mid-90’s. In good shape. I bought it used then and never used it. Foot rest, shooting rail. It’s the type with a V bar, not a chain. Not sure if this is at all close to what you want, but if it is I want $50.00 for it. Boothbay Harbor area in Maine. Will be around after first Maine Muzzleloader week ends.

Appreciate the thought, but I'm looking for the kind with the chains. Again....thanks though.

I don’t blame you. Good luck, I hope you find one and whack a big buck from it.

It looks you may have some luck on the page below. The ads are from all over, but if you want one bad enough, you could have them ship it. If you scroll to the bottom, there are more api stands, and you can change the location at the top. API GrandSlam Tree Stand - $100 (Carrollton) | Sports Goods For Sale | Atlanta, GA | Shoppok

With only 18 days left of the archery season, I'll just check yard sales and keep checking CL all year. Going to have my wife keep her eye open on FB yard sale sites as well.

I can't believe the shortage of tree stands. I'm also shocked to see nobody is carrying Lone Wolf. They were the big deal when I stopped hunting out of stands five years ago. The reviews on the newer API's are terrible. To the point I can't believe Cabela's or BPS even sells them.

I appreciate the offer, but I'm looking for the one with the front enclosed bar. The "sit and climb" one.

Still looking for a Sit and Climb API Grandslam if anyone sees one at a yard sale.

His name is John Maher, and he has a pic of a snowmobile on his little profile pic, and a fish on his main page pic.

Do you want me to private message him to get his phone number for you?

Looks like it's gone/sold. I would just try the Summit Viper Aluminum SD if I were you.

That might be my only option at some point, but honestly I don't hunt from a stand very often, and I don't really care for the summit. I know a lot of guys love them, but I'm not one of them. The. front bar feels too close compared to those old API's. Like I said though...... I might have to deal with it if I decide to bow hunt this year should I tag out early.

Look at the Summit Titan. The seat frame is 2 inches deeper.
