PAbowhunter86 Posted December 17, 2007 Report Share Posted December 17, 2007 Well I am going to get a new climbing treestand but I am not really sure which one I like the summit Viper SS. Can I get some advice? And tell me if you have a climbing stand and which one it is? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arrow32 Posted December 17, 2007 Report Share Posted December 17, 2007 Summit has some great stands anything them is good. I have a Gorilla its the silverback maybe? Not sure I can't remember off the top of my head and love it not a bad stand for the money. Looking at maybe getting a new Summit or something this spring.

buckee Posted December 17, 2007 Report Share Posted December 17, 2007 Summit makes quality products, with quality safety equipment. You can't go wrong with a Summit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rad_112176 Posted December 17, 2007 Report Share Posted December 17, 2007 I bought the Lone Wolf Sit-and-climb this year and i absolutely love it. I walk back in over a mile and sometimes 2 miles depending on the stand. It is 3 lbs lighter than the summit and it folds down so that is is only about 3 inches off of your back. You can put it on the stand in no time and it is very quite. I also think it is easier to adjust as you are going up the tree. My brother has the summit vipor and i would take this stand over it anyday. One little thing though, it costs about another $80.00 that the summits. Worth checking out though.

rhine16 Posted December 17, 2007 Report Share Posted December 17, 2007 I have an Ol' Man grand vision(i think). I love it. Gorrilla's are nearly the exact replicas also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bigalt78 Posted December 18, 2007 Report Share Posted December 18, 2007 ok im pretty sure they quit making the grand ol man treestands but if you could get a used one off ebay i would do it. in my opinion this is the best climbing treestand out there. i get 30 feet and feel really safe. They have two differant versions the ol man and the grand ol man the grand ol man is for big guys that's what i have because im a big guy but even if i was a hundred pounds i would still use this stand because you have so much room in it. They have the netted seats and when i get up there i spread out the net really good that's the key to comfort and i have sat from 11 in the morning untill dark before and i wasnt a bit cramped or tired of sitting there.

LifeNRA Posted December 18, 2007 Report Share Posted December 18, 2007 I have the Summit Goliath X5. Absolutely love this stand! The top section is bigger than the Viper, and it can hold more weight! 350 pounds. The extra room is nice when you have heavier clothing on! Add the deluxe backpack straps and you can walk all day with this stand! Well almost! Will I ever buy another? You bet!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnf Posted December 18, 2007 Report Share Posted December 18, 2007 I've got a Summit viper. Very comfy, easy to set up. Not too heavy. The lone wolfs are very light and such, but I like havning a back rest when I'm going to be in a tree all day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest gunny97 Posted December 19, 2007 Report Share Posted December 19, 2007 climbing tree stand take a look at the gunslinger from JRH sports. i bought one and by far it is the most comfortable stand i have ever used . now it faces the tree so if you want one that allows your back to the tree i would use summit although JRH has one but i havent used it to make a decision. in mine i have sat from sun up to sun down and you can really stretch out in this thing im 6'2 260 and it hoilds over 300 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They look very simple, safe and sturdy, not to mention comfy. They are a bit more than the summits, but a good deal lighter. For $299 you can get a stand almost 6lbs lighter than a summit and for another $50 you can get a 12.5lb climber with a slingstyle padded seat. That's 7lbs lighter than the lone wolfe for the same price. I may have gotten one of these rather than my Summit if I had known about them.

Adjam5 Posted December 21, 2007 Report Share Posted December 21, 2007 I have the Summit Broadhead Back packer and I just LOVE IT! It is easy to set up, folds flat, is light, quiet,sturdy, comfortable and it has a open front. I shoot my bow sitting from it most of the time. That equals less movement. Summit IMO makes the BEST treestands out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
