I just bought a new Climbing Star FS and it folds down flat and only weighs 16.5 lbs. It is a sit and climb but their padded seat is not a sling seat so you sit up level or just above the bar around the front. I haven't been in a tree yet to see how well you can shoot out of it. So far my only complaint is the paint is coming off easy. Can this be a common problem with aluminum stands? Does paint not bake on it very well? Does anyone else own one of these?
Also if you are interested in a Summit just last week their was a guy on ebay selling new sit and stand Summits for $190 shipped.
