Because I got concerns about height and falling..I got the Bullet Backpacker. It 's got a nice bar across the front to keep me in my seat when I fall asleep and also is a nice rifle rest . I'm right at 300 but plan to be 280 by the end of Nov. I got money on it.

The platform is very steady and bites into the tree really good. My friend in Missouri has the viper and llikes mine better. His is very bulky when transporting.Mine folds up to about 6" Also...my cables lock in better than the older Viper model.
