i own a viper SS...this will be my 3rd season with it...
i LOVE it...wouldnt have it any other way....it will likely be a longggg time before i give into something else...and it will take a dandy to get me to change...
like Matt said, a little bulky, heavy and can be noisy to setup....but i pack mine differently(i think) than Summit shows...and strap them together tight...no noise walking...not overly heavy or bulky to me...setting up it can clank alot if you dont practice and find "your method" i have a way of doing it and can make pretty much no noise...but its taken some practice and getting used to...
i love the comfort...and love the front bar....climbing is easier with it...the sense of saftey...and i love to lay my bow across it...arrow nocked...ready to go...the comfort....amazing....ive been known to SLEEP a bit

there was actually one day i got off work at 4 and was beat...home at the time was a ZOO....i went "hunting" after work...took my bow...just incase...went to a spot i never hunted and was just testing the waters....hit the top of the tree and hit the snooze button...i woke up WAY WAY after sunset...only because i was getting cold lol....yes, its that comfortable...ive even hung my bow up and leaned forward and slept on the front rail....(i slept alot that one year...worked 16-24hrs a week and went to school full time...it was tough...i would sleep anytime it wasnt "peak" hours days i was tired...wasnt EVERY day...but i enjoy a snooze in the woods every now and again...probably more than most people...but thats what i enjoy...
I just purchased a Summit Goliath this year and am curious as to how you pack yours differently. I'm pretty nervous about setting it up in the dark without scaring every deer in the woods so any info would be appreciated.
