I have been using the Summit Bush Master for 3 years and like it because it is light...about 16lbs. if I remember correctly. It allows me to get into some of the spots most guys don't go too. I have been looking at the Open Shot just because it is that much lighter. In my opinion the price is right on either one. I find thatlike most of you probably do too that each tree will allow for certain comforts. The lighter the better for what you are looking for.
