The year’s best new treestands have been unleashed! They are lighter, quieter, and more hunter-friendly than ever before. There’s a wide variety of options to meet the needs of most any deer hunter, regardless of whether you’re looking for a ladder stand, hang-on or climbing treestand.
Check out the best new treestands for 2024 below.
Summit Dual Threat Pro SD
Summit has long been the leader in climbing treestands when it comes to comfort and safety in design. Their all-new Dual Threat Pro SD is feature-rich, making a great stand even better. You’ll find an adjustable Dual Threat front bar that gives hunter maximum versatility, regardless of their weapon choice. You simply fold the front bar down for support while climbing, and then lock it in place in the upright position once you’re at hunting height, or tuck it away if you prefer a bar-less setup. To minimize your load, you can remove the bar altogether to convert the stand into a hand climber.
