I havnt shopped at one before. Looking at their 6 or 8 foot platform stands to put a blind or two on. They are opening one by me end of the month. How are they?
Academy is decent gear. It isn't high end, but certainly not low end. I really like their tripod stands, but do not have experience with the specific stand you are referencing. If it is anything like their tripod stand, it should be a keeper.
