RE: Favorite brand
I would say Trophy Taker and Summit aremy favorite companies. I bought theTrophy Taker Shakey Hunter a few months ago.I stripped my screw trying to adjust my rest and they sent me a new screw free of charge. They even bit the shipping costs. I have needed a replacement rope twice, and once again, they sent it to me free of charge, biting the shipping charge yet again. I recently bought a BowTech Allegiance early this year, and the regular windage arm was not long enough to allow for a correct centershot. I emailed Trophy Taker asking how much it would cost to buy the XL windage bar. They said they would allow me to exchangewindage barsfree of charge. They even shipped the XL windage bar to me free of charge. Trophy Taker is a great company.
I am a big fan of Summit treestands. Last year I said how much I liked my treestand, the '04 Summit XLS, and received an email saying they appreciated my positive comment. They introduced themself and asked me for my address so they could send me a gift. I deleted that email thinking it was junk mail. A few months later they sent me another email saying they read another of my comments and wanted to send me a gift. I gave them my address this time and shortly received a Summit catalog, a Summit hunting video, and a Summit hat.
These actions have made me a lifetime customer to Trophy Taker and Summit. Way to go guys!
