I had been using an API Bowhunter climber up until this season. The bankruptcy/going out of business issue though with API had me a little leary about using one of their stands so I picked up a Summit Revolution this past summer. I have only had a few scouting occasions to use it but I have to say that I am pretty darn happy with both the design and its overall ease of application. The cable/cable lock system is as close to idiot-proof as it gets and the stand really is quite stable when you are climbing the tree and after you settle in.

My only real " complaint" , if you could call it that, is that I wish I would have went with one of the new Backpacker models, the Bullet and Broadhead. That new fold-away design makes them much more compact to carry and store.
