climbing stands

[Illinois Buck Hunter]

What kind do all of you use. I'm thinking about buying one, but don't really have any experience with them.

My bro-in-law just purchased a Summit Viper and he let me play around with it this afternoon. Seemed pretty secure, comfortable and the price was right.

Just wondering if anyone had any input on the Viper or any other brand of climber.

API, I think it is called the bowhunter. No bars in the front, all aluminum, packs together nice and pretty comfy too.
