I decided to treat myself to a more “top-end” tree stand and chose the Hawk Helium Kickback. Once I received it I noticed some chipping on the gray paint and it only got worse as I tried to put it together. It kept flaking off and there were more bubbles in the pain that I assume would have started to chip in the future. Of course the aluminum under the paint is pretty shiny, so that is a no-go for a tree stand.
I am returning it to Midway and have contacted Hawk as well. Guess I will go back to Big Game stands and a sore backside after a few hours in the seat.
