The Mission Platform

I love my Mission Platform. Many run to smaller lighter ones, but the Mission is the best. Plenty of room to move around if needed and sturdy enough to get in perfect position to make that difficult shot. My son is going to saddle hunting this year and its 350lb capacity makes it one of the only platforms that he feels safe on. He's 6'4" and 325lbs. Many of his old ladder stands aren't built this well.

As a feller with large feet and a history involving some plantar fasciitis, I have found that the room to comfortably stand flat on the mission, giving my arches a break (no avoiding that pun), is top notch for extending my sits. For instance, when it’s time for a snack, I’ll pivot my back to the tree, tucking behind/under my bridge/tether. Both feet comfortably flat for a few minutes while I have a drink or a snack gives the ol dogs the relief they need to stay focused on the situation around me rather than any pedal discomfort. I’d love to get a little lighter, of course, but I can’t imagine sacrificing the real estate I have for comfortable foot placement on the mission. Big dude, big feet, big platform. All day.

Just getting into saddle hunting in January this year my first platform was the Mission platform. It is a nice size, especially for someone coming from tree stands. With the Mission I am not limited to shots or positions, I can easily maneuver into any position safely because of the room. Once I got the Mission platform I noticed that it wasn’t as large as many pictures make it look. Rock solid.

Huge Platform! Definitely on the heavier side but well worth it. Size 12 boots and I have plenty of room. No side kick out. Bites the tree great!

Great platform with plenty of room for bigger guys to feel comfortable with side pressure. Very sturdy. Easy to install.
