I recieved my Monkey and had an opportunity to use it the next day. I have been hanging tree stands for over thirty years.The OakSturdy Monkey made this one the easiest stand I have ever hung. The ease of the ratchet strap attaching it to the tree, to the quality of the rope ratchet it performed excellent and very easy.Thanks for a quality product that lives up to it’s hype!

I have watched all the OakSturdy products come together from the first mock up to the current product. I had my doubts when they first were being built. However after demoing the Vital Shot Gun Rest and seeing all the changes and how the products have come together over the last year, I am sold. I tell all my buddies to check out OakSturdy, very good products.

The Tree Snake is a great new product. I am a big guy and hunt big trees. I am now able to get the strap around the tree the first time every time whether using climbing stick or hanging a stand. This thing wraps up small enough to fit in my bag, great product.
The Vital Shot Gun Rest is awesome, I use shot gun and muzzle loader hear in Iowa and need a solid rest in my tree stand in order to shoot accurately at any distance and this product make a 200 yard shot seem like 25 yards. I will have this with me in every tree stand. Can’t wait to hunt from it.
The Octopus Bow Hanger is a product that I have been looking for, I never have enough hooks and nails to hang my gear and pack from. With this hanger I have eight places all in the right locations. Easy set up and it folds down to fit in my back pack. Great idea.
Have not had a chance to try the Tree Stand Pulley or Camera Arm, but looking forward to the day I need to. Keep the great products coming.

After using the OakSturdy™ Gun Rest it is a must have for the tree stand hunter. The gun rest is solid and versatile. The Octopus bow holder being a bonus. I will have them in all of my tree stands.

I am someone that does not always gun hunt from a tree stand because I like to have a good rest for those shots that are farther out. The OakSturdy™ gun rest took care of that problem for me. It’s easy to install and even easier to use. By buying additional brackets, one pull of the pin and you are on to the next tree. Now I can gun hunt from trees that I normally wouldn’t even consider putting a stand in.

I have never considered using a hand gun from a tree stand until I used the Oak Sturdy™ gun rest. It makes holding the handgun easy. I like the fact, that when using a rifle, the gun just sits in the rest within hand reach while waiting for the big one to appear.

Got to use the tree-stand hanger this weekend. Worked great! Just what I was looking for. Thanks!

Rock solid is all I can say. Made in America, this feels like a well made piece of heavy duty workmanship. Makes my job of hanging tree stands a breeze and makes for a much safer process. This product works exceptionally well and has a quality design. I’m very happy with all aspects of performance.

I have used the Monkey tree stand pulley. It sure makes the job of hanging a tree stand a lot simpler and safer. Thanks OakSturdy for a great product. Can’t wait to try the Vital Shot Gun Rest.

Firstly, I am truly impressed with your willingness to make good on my order, but you did better than that, you did supremely well in order to satisfy a customer. As to your shooting rest and your tree stand winch, I think you have winners in these products. I have shown to a lot of friends, all with positive comments and, in many cases, the wish to be able to buy; so who knows what will happen as the hunting season grows closer.

I just got the Tree Monkey in the mail. I have to admit, Bill, that this thing is very impressive. I expected it to be smaller in size but by the looks of this thing I’m thinking I could hoist my deer up in a tree if I wanted to.

I purchased your Tree Monkey a few months ago. I used it to set up all my stands for the upcoming season. First thing I did was attach a carabiner to the haul end of the rope. This allowed me to quickly attach and detach the stand from the system. At first I did find it a bit cumbersome to attach to a tree. Getting the strap through the monkey and attached to the tree took a little extra time and the lines seemed to always get tangled. After the first couple of set ups I coiled the rope and used a piece of velcro to
keep them coiled until ready to use. I then threaded the strap through the monkey and slung it over my shoulder. After getting to know the system and using it to hang several stands I can honestly say the Tree Monkey is one of the best investments I ever made. It really makes hanging a stand a piece of cake. It’s great, well manufactured, and is like having an extra hand to help hang your stand. Thanks for a great product.

As the producer and host of both North American Safari and Bear Whisperer TV Shows, I pride myself on only using the best products, not who pay me the most but products that really work. After getting the line of Oak Sturdy products, I was more then impressed and knew immediately this company was for real and it would be just a matter of time before everyone who hunts would have at least one product from Oak Sturdy in their pack.Now that we have been using the products in the field for a while, I really don’t know what I would do without them. Not only that, every one has held up to some of the most punishing type hunting anyone could do. I am especially impressed with the Tree Monkey, how I ever hung a stand with one is beyond me, beside never having to lift a hang on stand again, I am safer than ever before as the Tree Monkey does all the dangerous work for me.Keep up the good work, I can’t wait to see what you come up with next.

First I want to say thank you to Bill Copus and Oaksturdy for sending me a vital shot gun rest. 3 years ago I was electrocuted and had both hands amputated and being such an avid hunter I didn’t know if I could return to hunting. Oaksturdy heard my story and contacted me wanting to send the vital shot gun rest to get me back in the stand and in return Oaksturdy didn’t want anything from me except to hunt again. Oaksturdy has great products and they care about the people. Oaksturdy helped me get back and no words will describe how much this has meant to me so believe in Oaksturdy and try the products I promise you will not be disappointed and again THANK YOU OAKSTURDY for caring about me and proving that I can still enjoy the outdoors. Plan on posting a video soon using the vital shot.
