hoping you guys can help me out, but I'm in the market for a couple of tripods/quadpods to hold two people. like to be in elements is the reason i prefer these over a blind. we hunt in shackelford county and it can get pretty windy so we need something that can take being whipped around. two brands that i've seen so far are Family Tradition that they feature on Bucks of Tecomate and Atascosa that I saw at TTHA show. If ya'll have any additonal recommendations or comments on those two brands I sure would appreciate it.

Monarch in Arlington makes some very sturdy and heavy duty tripods and quadpods. I have a double-seat quadpod that I have on our place in the Panhandle. See the link below. They will give you a discount if you pick it up and if you pay cash. Talk with Rusty, he is a great guy and I use them for feeders and stands. They will stand behind their products.

I am big fan of Monarch also. They have great products.

I've got 3 of the Monarch tripods. Very strong and Sturdy. As above, just see Rusty and he will fix you up.

thanks guys, will give him a call...

Check out the Gorilla products. We have one of them and it's the best built one that I've ever hunted out of. I don't know where you would find one right now but Sam's sells them in the summer and fall.
