VTbowman Posted December 5, 2004 Report Share Posted December 5, 2004 Top notch as far as stands go. Plenty of cheaper ones out there that will get the job done but Summit is top dog. JMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chrud Posted December 5, 2004 Report Share Posted December 5, 2004 Re: climbers Summit, it doesn't matter which model, they are all incredible. In my opinion, Summit is the best in every treestand/treestand safety/treestand accessories category. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tedicast Posted December 5, 2004 Report Share Posted December 5, 2004 Re: climbers [ QUOTE ] I have been looking at summit but dont know there quality [/ QUOTE ] In my opinion, Summit, and quality are synonomous with each other, I have a Broadhead Backpacker and I absolutely love it. It is solid, comfortable and easy to use. I plan on buying a few summit hang on stands for next year. Summit stands also come with the Seat-O-The-Pants safety harness, which is also in my opinion as good as it gets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buckee Posted December 5, 2004 Report Share Posted December 5, 2004 Re: climbers Summit is definately top-notch when it comes to both quality and safety. You can't go wrong with a summit. I'm a bow-hunter, so I have the bushmaster. it is open in the front with no arm rests to get in the way of the bow limbs...just the way I like it.

bowhtr1 Posted December 7, 2004 Report Share Posted December 7, 2004 Re: climbers I use both the summit and ol-man. I like both of them. the ol-man is the most quiet with the summit being the most comfortable. The best plase to buy one is at http://www.natchezss.com/ I cant find anyplace cheaper.

Bow Hunter Derek Posted December 7, 2004 Report Share Posted December 7, 2004 Re: climbers I've got the Summit Cobra. Great stand. Anyone tried the newer Loggy Bayou climbers? They look pretty sweet. I like the way the cable connects. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HarvDog Posted December 9, 2004 Report Share Posted December 9, 2004 Re: climbers Can anyone tell me the difference between the Summit Viper and Cobra? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bow Hunter Derek Posted December 9, 2004 Report Share Posted December 9, 2004 Re: climbers Viper has the perminant bar around the front. The older Cobra had no bar. The new Cobra has the drop down bar that swings up over your head. I own the Cobra and my buddy owns the Viper. I personally think it is faster climbing with the Cobra. I don't like having to sit on the bar to pull up the bottom section. Your range of movement is too limited. The bar on the Viper does give you a sense of security once up in the tree that the Cobra does not have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wvbowhunter Posted December 9, 2004 Report Share Posted December 9, 2004 Re: climbers I have the Summit Cobra X4 with the climbing bar that folds back, great stand for bowhunting fast set up quiet and rock solid....I think you need to check it out.

wvbowhunter Posted December 9, 2004 Report Share Posted December 9, 2004 Re: climbers [ QUOTE ] Where are the Ol'e Man fans?? I have a Grand Ol'e Man climber. It's quiet, fast and stable as all heck. It does weigh 25 lbs so it is not a superlightweight but for a stand that holds 400 lbs... I've literally been up in 150+ times and never questioned it once about quality or safety. It cost me used....(it must have been set up inside) $150....A sure deal from a forum member it was. A new one costs close to $200 [/ QUOTE ] I have a old model Ol' Man Grand Vision also, it's been a great stand and I was thinking about getting another one but they went to the light weight material and all the recall stuff I opted for the Summit....I still use the Ol' Man when I leave a stand in tough to get to areas and use pad locks instead of the pins in hopes it keeps thiefs from taking it in case they find it....it's been a good one Ol' Man needs to go back to making them in the 400 lb capacity model Grand Vision.

bowhtr1 Posted December 10, 2004 Report Share Posted December 10, 2004 Re: climbers I have an ol-man multivision and posted up top. I was wondering the same thing about the ol-man owners. I have both and like both but the ol-man is more quiet than any summit and it packs easier. The summit is more comfortable and fairly quiet. These two are the best out there in my opinion. two cents Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billygoat Posted December 13, 2004 Report Share Posted December 13, 2004 Re: climbers Summit XLS is a nice, affordable bow stand, I tend to be able to last about 4 hours in the tree. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buffett1 Posted December 16, 2004 Report Share Posted December 16, 2004 Re: climbers Summit are good stands, but I went with the ol' man stands. They are just as good for the money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
