RE: First time climber stand user
My Summit Goliath showed up yesterday and i was able to set it up in my back yard, where i live i have pines trees and a 20 ,, 30,, 40 yard setup where i can practice (i must be blessed).
Anyway the Summit Goliath X4 is an awsome stand, rock solid, easy to pack and i was very confident in climbing with it, a well made stand in my opinion, really loved the idea of those "rapid climb stirrups", very comfortable large seating area something that i was looking at as far as being able to sit comfortably for an all day sit and the front rail really gives that added sence of security.
..Hats off to Summit. !
