RE: API Treestands vs. Others(o'lman, lone wolf etc)
i agree, the summit cobra is lighter at 17#. i got the cobra for christmas and have only used it one time. i sat in it for 3 hours that evening hunt without having to stand up if i had only had my tv set watching the ball game. it felt just like sitting in a recliner in front of the t.v. my brother has the a.p.i. grand slam supreme and just loves his stand. this makes the second one he has bought. he made the mistake of leaving his 1st one in the woods and it got stolen. i think he said it weighed 21#. if i were you i would go to a big sporting good store and decide for yourself.
