Big Man partner plus vs. Mellinneum L220

Postby peewee » Thu Aug 29, 2013 11:46 pm

In the market for a two man stand with a big platform. Anybody have experience with either of these stands. Or have a recommendation for a different stand.

I don't see how it could get much better than the Millenium PeeWee. I've got one and it is nice!

I agree with you Josh, I really like ours as well. They are also easy to bow hunt out of with the extra seat next to you for your bag and all.

Summit makes a big one with a really big platform. Seat doesn't look as comfortable as the millennium. I found a new one on eBay for $260

I have a millenium 220 and love it. Also have a Family Traditions 2 man, like it as well. The millenium is probably more comfortable but a bit harder to stnad up if you need to without being noisy or a lot of movement. Both great stands

The family made a quick stop by some stores today and looked at several different stands and the Mellinneum looks to be my favorite.

Those millenniums look like the most comfortable I just can't let go off that much dough. I've always wondered how long the those seats last. Anybody have one show signs of dry rotting?

I found a stand on the sportsman guide that has a curved seat and platform. A different design that would make shots behind you a breeze.

I've had a couple of the Millenium loc-ons since they first came out 10 or so years ago and haven't had any problems with the seat dry rotting----great stands.

I had one set eaten by rats. Discovered it when I opened the box. They replaced it of course.
