I viewed a couple of YouTube videos on the 18 foot Raider ladder stand, (unboxing, assembly, and placing it on a tree), and placed my order right away. I'm 70 years old, (5' 9" @ 255 lbs), and have been trying to find the answer to getting into the woods with a light and manageable ladder stand that I could go solo with, (and finally), discovered there was one being built and sold, right here in America! It is everything I was expecting and I'll be hunting from it as soon as our archery season comes in.
It's light, high enough for concealment, safe, and comfortable with the seat being an integral part of the stand. It's well engineered, solid, and worth every penny because it's putting me in places I want to hunt safely and without needing help. Thanx! Great job guys!

Extremely well built stand, no tools needed, simply put a brace on each side and you’re ready to roll. Very impressed, no noise or squeaks when climbing up the ladder, looking forward to using it more often. This is my 2nd Novix stand and I’m impressed with both
Definitely recommend this one if you’re considering a ladder stand
Easy to assemble
Easy to transport
Easy to hang
Very solid once set
Seat is comfortable and usable but not ideal . Did not buy it for the seat
Pricey, but nice ladder stand…
Assembly was super easy. Quality was phenomenal!
