Adjam5 Posted September 28, 2005 Report Share Posted September 28, 2005 I have an idea that will help Summitt Tree stand users. I have and use the Broadhead Backpacker model. Like most, if not all Summits , they assemble with a black triangle type nut attached to a tether that secures the stand together. I have opened my stand in the dark and the nut got caught and it popped off the tether. Even with a flashlight, looking for a black nut in the leaves left me a bit frantic at 5am. Without it, hunt over, no climbing stand. Heres my idea which I e mailed to Summit yesterday. Make those black nuts out of molded orange or some other Hi-Viz color, so if they fall of that tether, they can be found easily. I sprayed mine flouorecent orange. Its a pretty simple fix to a nightmare of a situation that could occur on opening morning. If Summit starts making them a hi viz color, you heard it here 1st ladies and gents. Thank you...thank you verrry much. (in my best elvis) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
