Yep, one of the reasons I got rid of mine. I personally like to shoot out of stand sitting down most of the time. Can't remember too many shots while standing. I just did not like the enclosed feeling I had while in the Viper. I since then bought a new Loggy Bayou and am back to where I used to be. Wide Open all sides and can easily shoot in a seated position all around my tree except to my extreme right.
