Abstract: A mobile stand that can be suspended in a tree from an overhead location and thereafter be safely, quietly, and easily maneuvered by a seated occupant facing the tree into any position about the tree's circumference. The occupant can shoot in any direction without standing and also use the tree as a gun rest for a shot in any direction. The mobile nature of the stand provides hunters with the option of using a gun support lanyard attached to the upper part of its closed tubular frame or suspending cable which allows the lanyard to move with the hunter. The stand can also be used for ground level hunting, as well as indoor and outdoor recreational use by adults and children. One embodiment includes a back support that reclines into various postures, including a substantially horizontally-extending position. As an option, it can be readily disassembled for compact transport and storage.
