Last year I purchased my first climbing stand. I got the cobra xls by summit. This was my best purchase of the year. I hunt on public land in S.E. Texas and can not leave a stand in place for more than 72 hours. The versatility it provides is the best feature of all. It does take some practice setting up. The only draw back I found is the cables are difficult to get in and out quietly. Overall, a wonderful stand.

Happy hunting,
