First let me make perfectly clear that I have always used a fixed stand; however, because my partners and I have recently obtained more hunting property a climber is becoming more necessary. I am seriosly looking at the Summit brand. The problem is there are so many to choose from (seems every type of snake known to man). I am looking at the Cobra XLS and the Viper XLS. My questions are: 1) which do you prefer and, 2) if you prefer the Viper - does the bar get in the way while bowhunting? As always, I appreciate and value your input.
