I just made the switch to the Viper. I used to use a newer Loggy Bayou and it was ok, but not a Viper

. The last three weeks of archery season, I sit all day in the stand. With the Loggy I could do it, but by about 3 in the afternoon, It was killing me. I just pulled an all dayer in the Viper yesterday and it was a breeze!! I didn' t get standass all day! It very easy to stay comfortable in this stand. The only complaint I have is that there isn' t a lot of elbow room in it. The bars are just a tad too tight, but the Goliath stand remedies that.
All in all, I the Summit stands are excellent and trust me, you will not get uncomfortable in this stand.
