Every bow hunter deserves to try climbing a tree with a Buckshot Equalizer. It sets up and takes down quickly and both platforms are adjustable while climbing. You probably wont appreciate how important that is until you have used it a few times. Trees that you used to want to climb but couldn't because of an odd shape are a snap to get up. The Equalizer is the most stable stand that I have ever used and provides an excellent shooting platform (especially for a bow hunter). Yes, they cost a few bucks more than a summit but well worth it.
