Cougar, I agree the summit is a little noisy hookin up, but I don't agree that it's noisy climbin with. you just have to tilt the platform where it won't drag the tree goin up. and as far as the arm rest in the way when shootin, I can tell you for a fact, their not. I've shot many deer from a sittin position and the arm rest were not a problem in the least. if the seat is adjusted where your not sittin real low, you won't have a problem.
but, I'm glad your happy with your lonewolfe, I guess the reason I couldn't understand why anyone would pick the lonewolf over the summit, is because comfort and light weight is a Biggie for me, because of my back problem. I hardly ever use my climber anymore because of my back. but your right- different strokes for different folks.
