I have always been uncomfortable bowhunting from a climbing stand. A buddy of mine claims that he has a Summit, which he cant remember the name, thathas a platform that is attached to the front of the bar that is used for a footrest. The only time that the bottom section is used is for climbing, after you are set up you or only using the top half. He says it is very solid and he would not be afraid to dance on it. If anyone knows the name of this stand or another summit like it please let me know. Thanks
