Big shot, buck shot. You can climb facing the tree then if you want you can spin around and face away from the tree. The rails have adjustments that allow you to lower it so they are not in the way at all. I am on my second one now. I outgrew {} the first. They make a larger model (big shot) that is both longer and wider than the original looks and acts the same. It is easy to pack in and sleeps good too....[

Lone wolf sit n climb with a summit seat on it. That is what I use. Second would be the summit razor. 3rd would be the api bowhunter stand. All very good choices if I do say so myself.

It depends on what you want.
If you want comfort than Summit hands down.
If you want one easy to pack, easy to climb and setup, no parts that can fall off. Light weight, but strong. Look no further

I like an old API Predator AL-700. It is a little heavy to carry in and a little complicated to set up. Butonce it is on the tree it is easy to climb,incredibly solid even leaning way out, and very confortable with its hamick seat and back set away from the tree for a long day in the woods.
Came with foot rest, shooting rail and side saddles for food and water or calls.

I have an API Grand Slam Super Star. It has a bar to sit on to climb, then the bar swings out of the way for an open front if you're bow hunting. It also has a rest that you flip down for use as a foot rest when bow hunting or flip up for a rifle rest when gun hunting. Its nice and comfortable too. Weighs in about 23 pounds though...
