RE: How difficult should a climber be?
I have 2.
The first one I have no name brand name. I love it but it's for rifle only as it 's like a roll cage. It's held together by 4 pins. Takes me less than one minute to assemble and get up the tree quietly.16 pounds.tubular steel
I'm too heavy for it now. I wouldn't put a man in it over 250 pounds. Very comfortable.You face the tree when set up. Limited shooting angles.
My next one is a Summit Bullet backpacker. I've used it now for 3 years. From the time it comes off my back till I get up the tree ..probably about
10 minutes if I hurry.24pounds ..very comfortable. cables ...my archery stand.can shoot 360 degrees.
