I’m 6’2 and about 175 lbs, 48 years old . I got some love handles and way out of shape. After a few practice runs, it’s pretty easy to do. First few runs had me worried but it all came together fast. I love carrying almost nothing into the woods.
After I ordered my first one, I couldn’t stop there. This display for my office will bring my man cave to work! Unbelievable detail and replication of God’s coolest art… this is a work in progress, but it’s gonna be awesome..
The turnaround was quick. The skulls are identical to the real version. Quality is excellent accuracy of the replicas phenomenal! definitely going to be coming back for more very happy with my purchase.
The accuracy and durability are amazing! The first production wasn't exactly to order so he fixed it and threw that one in for free after catching it himself. Unheard of customer service. Jake has a customer for life.
Fantastic gift idea! Only had the skull cap of a deer but sent it in and it looks perfect, incredible detail on the rack and every little point is perfect.
Switched over from a one stick to the Bandit this year and was very pleased. Easy to use, light weight and quiet! Was able to get up a tree and get a shot off on this buck all while he was 80 yards away in my plot! Keep up the work guys!
I ordered two medium sized euro mounts and two stands, one for me and one for my dad, after he harvested a giant elk on his dream hunt. It was a great moment for us, and we ordered this mini mount and it came and we were blown away. It is an exact model of the elk’s rack, and every time we look at it brings us back to that amazing hunt. We are already thinking about what other animals we want to get mini mounts of.
Customer service was great. Delivered product was spot on
Set up last week in a tree about 20ft up. Deer came out behind and to my right. Weak side shot. I made the shot in the bandit climber and it was awesome! The bandit climber took a little getting used to but it’s quiet and easy to maneuver with some practice. No platform just the bandit. Love this thing! 51 yrs old 250lb easy peasy.
Little bit of a learning curve but after some practice it's super easy to use. I'm beyond happy I added it to my kit! *side note* I will be extremely disappointed if there is not a product developed with the name "Trash Panda" though.
Amazing Climbing system. I ran the tethrd Skeletor Sticks for around 6-7 evening hunts and when coming down the tree it was incredibly hard to see to attatch the sticks together. With this system i was able to climb down and untether it and was out. Insanly quiet!
The Bandit climber is the perfect tool to have in the bag. I use the Bandit climber when on those hunts where you don't know where you want to be, go out for a walk find a spot and say I want to set up here. Rather than dealing with setting up sticks throw it around the tree climb up and hang out. The quality of the product is great, easy to use may take a moment to get the adjustments right for you and the motions down but it’s not rocket science. It’s light, easy to pack up, and quiet! Would highly suggest this if you are on the fence!
Easy to pack, make sure you adjust the line to the size of the tree. Not hard to climb with.. great product. This is definitely better than fiddling with lugging sticks and attaching steps..
I bought this climber for my boyfriend YESTERDAY! It got here over night. Fantastic customer service. I put the wrong address in and within minutes it was updated and I was provided with confirmation. My boyfriend was ecstatic and is ready to put it to use tomorrow. Thank you!
Fast shipping got here pretty quick can’t wait to use it during bow season I’ve used it one time so far and it completely surpassed my expectations easy to use very very light complete game changer
I tried the bandit out in the backyard this afternoon. I'm in my mid 50s and not in any particularly great shape. I work a desk job and rarely workout, especially no cardio. :-) This is also my first time using a climber. I have hunted out of lean on ladder stands for a while now but I wanted more mobility. This bandit delivered!
I roped the bandit to the tree and then my tether and got to work. First I noticed that if your knots are not lined up, you tend to sway. Mostly in the direction of where the tether comes out of the loop. The first time I went up about 6-8 feet, climbing up and then back down with the bandit. It took a little getting used to but it was all good. Back on the ground, I connected my repel rope and used that for my tether and started climbing with the bandit again. This time I was at least 10 feet off the ground, maybe 12. I didn't find it difficult at all to do. I found it easiest to lift my legs up and put my knees against the tree then lift the bandit to the next up location on the tree. Then I just stood up and moved the tether up. I can definitely see how you could be 20 feet up in just a couple minutes like the bandit youtube video shows, especially if you're in good shape. All in all I am very happy with this first tree climber.
Works great , easy to get up and down the tree, a lot faster than sticks! Fast shipping, ordered and was delivered next day.
Awesome was better then expected, can't wait to scale a tree and hunt from it, ordered a second one before they go out of stock until next year as a gift for a buddy!
