The broadhead backpacker is an awesome stand!

I tried it out at the Sportsman's show here in Richmond, VA a few weeks ago. The reps from Summit were there and I talked to them in detail about what I want, where I hunt, etc....

The guy had me get in the stand (attached to a cheesy "telephone pole" display thing). The stand is quiet and rugged as all heck. I weigh in at 205 lbs and 6' tall. I easily fit in the stand and was comfortable. The bizarre thing was the guy said to me, "try this.... you want sturdy? ....JUMP!" I was like, huh?!? [&:] Then I figured, what the heck, it ain't my stand, it's a demo at a show. So, stood up, holding onto the top platform and jumped up and down on the bottom platform. It never moved, never budged, didnt' make any loud creaky sounds either. It just dug deeper into the display pole, that's all. I couldn't believe it was that strong!

Long story short: Summit stands RULE! [8D]

P.S. I am getting the bullet backpacker series because I not only bowhunt, but I have a Marlin 30-30 w/scope and need a versatile stand to handle both scenarios. The backpacker series stands fold flat as a dime too!
