which summit treestand?
looking for a summit treestand. can't decide to go with the front bar (Viper X4) for safety & clearance, or without (bushmaster X4). I hunt with bow and gun. will the bar get in the way for bowhunting. most say no. some yes. But viper is able to sit-n-climb while bushmaster is hand climbing which is a pain. so what. most say bar is worth the safety factor. but then again I'm also looking at a hang-on like the Copperhead with no bar since i think most bowhunters use hang-ons. please help.
