It's been a whirlwind
three years since our purchase of
Family Tradition Treestands in 2005. Our intention all along was take the
"The best stand for your Buck!" national and it looks like we're now well on our
way!
Shortly after purchasing their first stands for his
ranch in Georgia we got a call stating that Mr. Foxworthy just loved our stands.
Since then he got involved with friend and industry mogul Mr. David Morris in
rolling out a new show, The Bucks of Tecomate. We were thrilled to get a
call from Mr. Morris stating that they wanted to use our stands on the
highest rated show on Versus! While our competitors were beating down
their doors for this opportunity Mr. Foxworthy insisted that they should pursue
a partnership with Family Tradition Treestands!

Owners Jennifer & Jack Turner with Jeff Foxworthy
So...we shipped stands for them to hunt and film out
of last year. Make sure you tune in for the 2008 season of The Bucks of
Tecomate, starting in August, to watch some of the best hunters hunting out of the "The best stand
for your Buck!". We couldn't be more proud that they personally chose
our company for the most highly rated outdoor show on Versus! |

Jack, 
Just wanted to let you know that during this
weekends youth deer hunt in Michigan your double ladder stand made the day! My
13 yr. old son Connor and I had a couple of big bucks coming into one of our
food plots that only had your single stands set up. We figured we would split up
and I could watch him from across the field. Then I remembered I had one of your
double stands still in the box in the barn.
We wanted to be out hunting by 5:00 pm. and it
was already 1:00 pm. We figured we had just enough time to put it together and
get it in the tree but we had to hurry! We opened the box and had the entire
stand together in about 15 minutes! We quickly loaded the stand with an
extension into the pickup, strapped it down and took off to a tree my son had
picked out. We had it up in minutes with plenty of time to spare.
At around 7:20 pm. the same night, a big (144
2/8ths) 12pt. buck came out of the woods and the rest is a memory I will never
forget, my son shot his first buck at 87 yards and I was there right next to
him, not 100 yards away watching thru binoculars. We both want to thank you for
such a great and safe tree stand that allowed us to share that moment together.
Phil Brondes
Phil called a few days
after sending this email to chat about the great hunt he and his son
experienced. You see, Phil was our very first customer after we purchased
the company back in 2005 and holds a special place in the Family. We hit
it off like we were old friends and we're ecstatic that we could play a role in
keeping the Family Tradition alive and well in the Brondes household!
WAY TO GO CONNOR!
CONGRATULATIONS ON A FINE TROPHY!! |

Industry legend Claude Pollington, "The Whitetail Wizard", has a new autobiography. The owner of C.P. Oneida Eagle Bows and the Buck Pole
Deer Ranch is one of the most respected bowmen around having been a shooter
since 1952 when he got his first longbow. Mr. Pollington has personally been
using our stands for a few years now on his ranch. Much like Mr.
Pollington and Oneida Eagle, we purchased Family Tradition Treestands
because we loved the products so much. We're darn proud that he
chose to have the official photo for his new book taken in one of our ladder
stands!
We were on hand, taking our own pictures, while the author shot the official
pictures to go along with the new book. |

“When my pal
Jeff Foxworthy first raved to me about Family Tradition Treestands being the
best he’d ever seen, I had my doubts … but no more! After using them all over
the country on The Bucks of Tecomate TV show hunts, I’m a believer. I
have tried about every type and make of deer stand known to man, but I have
never seen anything that could match Family Tradition Treestands for comfort,
quality, durability and design! These things are awesome! No more sitting in the
stand thinking of ways to improve them; Jack Turner and his crew have already
built them the way a serious all-day trophy hunter would want them made! Whether
you’re looking for ladder stands, lock-on's or tripods, Family Tradition has a
model that will get the job done year after year in perfect comfort and safety.
No, they aren’t the cheapest stands out there; they are, as Jeff said, simply
the BEST! And, all of us on The Bucks of Tecomate are proud to claim Family
Tradition as our treestand of choice!”

"I have always known that Family Tradition made an
incredible ladder stand, this year I found out they make the best lock-on’s on
the market. That’s coming from a guy that hangs an average of seventy
stands a year!"
Thanks Family Tradition,

"Jack,
I know we spoke briefly today over the phone but I wanted to shoot
you an email as a follow-up.
As I told you today, the HD/HO Lock-On's and HOL/20 Lock-On Ladder
arrived in my warehouse today. After taking one of the Lock-On's out
of the box I truly was impressed with the craftsmanship of these and
I could not be more sincere when I say that. When I returned home I
hung one of the stands on a tree in my backyard and it confirmed my
initial thoughts. After putting the stand up, I did everything I
could to get that stand to squeak, creek and come free from the
tree.........and I could not get it to do any of these things.
Likewise with the HOL/20 Ladders.
Conclusion: This is a professional, well built tree stand and
ladder that is not intended for the part time hunter. Your HD/HO
Lock-On is a serious piece of equipment and until tonight I never
fully realized there was such a stand and ladder on the market. I
own many hang on tree stands but nothing comes close to your
HD/HO.....the demand has been met! I look forward to spending time
in your stands in the coming weeks. Very nice!!"
Warm Regards,

"Family
Tradition Treestands are by far some of the most comfortable and best built deer
stands that I have ever used in my 35 years of deer hunting. Their
stands make me a better hunter because I can spend more quality time in the
stand. More quality time in the stand greatly increases my chances of
harvesting that trophy-of-a-lifetime!"

"As a hopeless, terminal,
lifelong Michiganiac backstrapper, I take my bowhunting rather seriously. Always
demanding excellence for maximum stealth and quality in my gear, I have found
Michigan's own Family Tradition Treestands to fully deliver on all counts.
Quiet, safe, well built, easy to use and rock solid. I really like rock solid
and I have the backstraps to prove it!"

National TV host Tom

"Having been a bowhunter for almost 35 years I have
hunted out of most every treestand available. As far as treestands are
concerned, I have seen and used the "good, bad and ugly". When
it comes to treestands, FAMILY TRADITION TREESTANDS™ are the best
available. Secure, durable and dependable are just a few words that
describe what you get when you purchase a treestand from FAMILY TRADITIONS.
Remember, your life hangs in the balance!"

“Being
over 300 pounds and afraid of heights you would think that treestand hunting and
I don't mix. Well that was true until I found and tested the Family
Tradition Treestands. Not only was it sturdy enough for me, it is also the
most comfortable stand I have ever spent time in. Simply put, this stand
is quiet, rock solid, and is as comfy as your living room chair. It
certainly will become a Family Tradition in my deer camp!”

Tony Hansen just joined the Family after trying our
Lock-On. Wait until he hunts out of our main line of products, the Ladder
Stands. He'll be a convert with those as well! "I'm very serious about my hunting and I simply
won't allow inferior products to hinder my success or risk my personal safety.
I've tried just about every stand on the market. My search for that
perfect treestand is over. The Family Tradition Treestands Lock-On is the
best I've ever used. It's big, stable and comfortable. The ratchet
straps are the best I've ever seen used on a stand. I trust my life and my
success on it. I will and have been recommending them to anyone and
everyone that hunts."

Claude Pollington, the "Whitetail Wizard" and
owner of C.P. Oneida Eagle Bows, took a moment at the Michigan Bow Hunters Association
Rendezvous to look over our line of stands for his 1,200 acre ranch. We've
been delivering stands to both his property and archery shop located in Marion,
Michigan ever since!

“I just wanted to drop you guys a note to say
how much I have enjoyed Family Tradition Treestands! They are the best built
stands I have ever used. They are user friendly and I would recommend them to
anyone!”
