The arm means is an arm pivotally connected to a frame member, and includes a U-shaped bracket connected thereto wherein a bow may be removably placed therein. In another embodiment, the tree stand comprises a platform, a seat, at least a first frame member connected between the seat and the platform, at least a second tubular frame member connected to the first frame member, and arm means connected to the tubular member by inserting one end into the tubular member.
