If I were you I'd check all the post's on the Technical and bowhunting and gear review forum's about the Summit ViperX4 or the CobraX4 stand's .From what I've read they seem to be the choice for most hunter's and I haven't read any negative remark's on them .I bought the Summit VipoerX4 last week at BassPro in Vaughn and paid 344.00CDN for it .I have had other climber's in the past and not one of them has been biult as solid as this stand and the comfort and room in this stand will make hunting from a treestand soooo much nicer.I haven't used it yet but can't wait to try this baby out. This stand wiegh's 20lbs and will carry a guy up to 300lbs ,you can climb a tree from 8" to 20" and the measure's 20"x36"

Check them out for yourself.
