Clamp Down Jaw and Stabilizer Truss Systems from Ol'Man Outdoors

Pearl, MS – Ol'Man Outdoors, the leader in crafting quality blinds, stands, and hunting accessories, introduces two advanced technologies that enhance the safety and effectiveness of ladder stands. These advancements can be found on many Ol' Man ladder stands, enabling hunters to not only stay safe when setting up a ladder stand but also expand hunting opportunities by utilizing trees that were previously off-limits for ladder-stand hunting.

The Clamp Down Jaw System is a unique innovation that securely locks the ladder stand to a tree before a hunter ever leaves the ground. When placed against a tree, this feature creates a reliable connection for a rock-solid contact that stays put while attaching and tightening safety straps. This technology enables a safer installation than other ladder stands on the market, helping hunters quickly and effectively secure an Ol'Man ladder to a tree.

As a perfect complement to the Clamp Down Jaws, the Stabilizer Truss System enhances ladder stability, provides more tree options, and eliminates unwanted noise that often occurs when hunting from other brands of ladder stands. This system allows Ol'Man ladder stands to be attached to more trees than other brands, creating more hunting opportunities and boosting hunting success.

The Clamp Down Jaw System and Stabilizer Truss System work in conjunction to create safer installations and hunting experiences. Both technologies can be found on a variety of Ol'Man ladder stands, including:

Big Daddy Xtra Wide (OT-204)
Final Shot Xtra Wide (OT-202)
Final Shot (OT-300)
Big Daddy (OT-301)
Comfort Lite (OT-200)
Bloodhound (OT-400)
Skyscraper (OT-404)

These ladder stands not only employ the Clamp Down Jaw System and the Stabilizer Truss System but also include Millennium's renowned uber-comfortable Textilene seat, padded armrest, and padded, adjustable shooting rail. Each stand is designed for durability, all-day hunting, and staying silent throughout the hunt. Simply put, these features make Ol'Man ladder stands the choice for today's hunters, who demand lightweight stands that are safe, easy to set up, and provide a comfortable seating experience on every hunt.
