NEWS FLASH

We are honored to have just received a highly coveted award from an industry magazine, voted on by retailers, regarding the best products in the hunting industry.  Although our larger competitors have hundreds of dealers selling their stands we still managed to win the second highest award possible and beat out the big boys in our industry!!!  You need to try one today and find out why our industry feels that we make "The best stand for your Buck!"

 

 

We are happy to announce that as of 1/4/2008 we have successfully completed certification of our great line of treestands to the Treestand Manufacturers Association standards!

 

 

 

Family Tradition Treestands signs on as official Treestand Sponsor of national TV show "The Bucks of Tecomate"!

 

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!

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!

1. "If you can't feel your feet, it's time to change your seat."

2. "If your rear end wants to quit hunting way before you do, you might want to switch to Family Tradition." 

3. "When he shows, you'll be waiting....comfortably" 

4. "My most comfortable chair is 15 feet off of the ground" 

5. "If your deer stand ain't worth a sit, try ours."  

 

Jeff Foxworthy on why he’s replacing his stands with Family Tradition Treestands

 

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!” 

David Morris – Co-host of The Bucks of Tecomate

 

"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,

The two bucks above and the one below were shot out of Family Tradition Treestands in '07! 

 

"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!"

Look who just joined the Family...it's the Motorcity Madman!!!

"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!"

Ted Nugent

National TV host Tom Nelson recently tried one of our Ladder Stands and had the following to say...

 

"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!”  

Brock Gutierrez, Recently Retired 10 Year NFL Offensive Lineman

 

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."

Tony Hansen, Editor, Michigan Out-of-Doors Magazine

 

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!”
