I was at one time a Treelounge fan,until that new model about killed me.Sliding down the tree 4 feet before recatching the tree.That really soured me on the TL's even though my original TLnever had the slightest slip.After using the TL my knees would bother me.I think sitting in that position for hours with my knees bent.My buddy said the same thing about his knees.The GS's I've never had either ever try to slip. I've been in some really nasty rain and they held the tree well.I'm 5'11" and about 275 pounds. To me there is plenty of room.I would suggest climbing in one making sure for yourself.Maybe it's just me but I think the GS's are easier to climb and a whole lot easier to come down on.AND no turning around. I hated that part.I agree the comfort of the TL is good. I think (there again my opinion) that the GS's are just as comfortable. I personally would rather stay out all day in a GS then my TL.I've never tried a Summits.Another thing I like about the GS's is how easy it is to stand and turn around.On a TL you're S.O.L. without the bow hunting adapter.I plan on keeping my TL but probably will never use it again.Save it for a rainy day.I know I would never send my wife up in a TL not after my experience.I asked allot of questions over at Woody's Taxidermy and almost everyone praised the Gunslinger's. 4 of us lease property in GA. All of us now have GS's and really like them.
