I will definately be looking for adaptive equipment to overcome my "disability" so I can finally go out hunting large game as that has always been my dream. I am excited to see a company that can specialize and discuss the best methods to overcome challenges to hunters.

The company started raising their prices and last I looked was over $1000 and now no longer in buissiness and all similar products are well over $1000 and some over $2000 and then the ones that are hydraulic are well into thousands of dollars. I'm sure the time designing and manufacturing was not cheap but the average person will not be able to afford any of those lifts and I just want someone out there to make a lift that is AFFORDABLE and then maybe more handicapped people could use them and in turn make more sales for the manufacturer.Perfect example is the TREE GLIDER, it looks like it would work ok,lightweight and compact but it is a remote winch on a small platform and a few accessories and the cost is $1900.Am I wrong or is that completly unreasonable?

The website is www.looneytoonscharter.com. The captain is wonderful and once on the boat, the trip was great.
