Hello Grant,

I have bow hunted for several years now and have had trouble with safety harnesses. I have yet to find one that allows me to shoot 360 degrees from my stand. I am on a fixed budged and would like to get one for under $80. Is there a particular brand or style that you prefer to use while bow hunting?

Billy,

The most important characteristic of a safety harness is that you use it literally every time you climb!!  There are way too many treestand accidents.  

I use the STS Deluxe harness from Summit. Like most harness it attached to the tree via a strap.  I can easily turn side to side and shoot with while wearing the harness. I never climb without a harness.  The STS works great for my staff and me!

Please don’t climb without a harness so you can continue to enjoy creation!
