I' m impressed with the Viper. Quiet set-up, quiet climbing, easy to pack. I could go on

. The stand is as close to perfection as I' ve found.
I was very close to buying a Cobra, but I just like the security of the bar out front. My favorite use of the bar is laying my bow on it while sitting. It' s alot quicker than having it hung on a screw-in hook. The bar makes climbing alot simpler too.
The only things I' ll be adding to my Viper is the footrest kit and padded backpack straps.
