Guest DaveGP Posted July 26, 2005 Report Share Posted July 26, 2005 loggy bayou loggy light... buy the climbing aid if you dont want to put your arms around and hug the tree while you climb... or summit viper! while we are talking about it... i learned to climb on a tss with no climbing aid ... just the platform. anyone else use a stand like that? until you get good it can cause some arm irritation lol! dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tedicast Posted July 26, 2005 Report Share Posted July 26, 2005 Re: treestands I used a Loggy, without the climbing aid for 2 seasons. What a difference the climbing aid makes. I upgraded to a Summit Broadhead Backpacker this past season. Best move I ever made. Way more comfortable, stable, and easier to use than my old Loggy. I also have a few Gorilla Kong fixed stands, and a King Kong fixed stand, and a Gorrilla Ladder stand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mirage Posted July 27, 2005 Report Share Posted July 27, 2005 Re: treestands i use an api bow hunters stand but befor that i used an alumi lite"that thing was not light at all. i like my api but i have found if you take a fat belt like off a fanny pack and attach it it the botttom section of your stand it takes the weight off of your shoulders and puts it on your hips like you dont even have anything on your back!! works great for those long treks into the woods Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tominator Posted July 27, 2005 Report Share Posted July 27, 2005 Re: treestands I have a Summit Cobra and an API bowhunter. Both have their merits. The API climbs easier, and is more solid once it's up, but the Summit is 10x more comfortable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gowest Posted July 27, 2005 Report Share Posted July 27, 2005 Re: treestands I have used a Tree Lounge, heavy, but very stable and safe. I am switching to a Lone Wolf - still safe - but I am changing primarily for weight and stealth reasons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LifeNRA Posted August 2, 2005 Report Share Posted August 2, 2005 Re: treestands I just used my Summit Goliath for the first time! Even though I am only 190 pounds. I love the extra room! The seat is sooooooo comfortable too! Also, no moving parts to make any noise!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarvDog Posted August 2, 2005 Report Share Posted August 2, 2005 Re: treestands Yeah...maybe I should consider the Goliath. BTW, I ain't 190 lbs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
