i looked at the copperhead on the website
thanks guys i didnt download the manual so im not sure how the "Quick mount" or whatever they call it works but:


the funny thing about the copperhead is...

i didnt know anyone made the quick connect setup like that where you put the strap on the tree and hang the stand fromsome kind ofmount.

i actually had rough plans of a simular ideadrawn up...and was gonna give it to my buddy at a machine shop to fabricate....

its a good idea.....and would make hanging a stand easier in some situations.....
i havesome bigger stands thatare in the 20 lbs range and aukward.....and sometimes they are a real pain to hang/get situated in some trees. i think the "quick mount" deal would be the way to go.

i dont really need a stand for backpacking and moving because i have so many(mostly gorrila cheapos...wich are great for the price...easy to hang)... that i hang them and leave them there...i hunt private ground so im spoiled.

i wish i could look at them both before purchasing but its not an option for me....i dont need the stand for this year tho...i have one stand thats pretty beat up and i dont like it too much...that needs replaced after this season


but it looks like once again i got beat to the punch with an idea....this time by summit. anyother stands have something simular for a mount????
