RE: What kind should i get...PLEASE HELP
Buck88, I own the Summit Viper Ultra XL(' 01 model) and I really wouldn' t consider owning anything else. The footrest is an added bonus, it definitley allows you to relax. I have taken 4 deer with this stand and have never had any trouble with concerns to the front railing. That added feeling of security is a plus!
Summit is a very good company to deal with, also. They redesigned the carrying straps on this model and made them to short. A phone call to the company and new straps were in the mail. Good luck. Cutt
