Hello everyone

This is my first post in this great forum, so I will give yall a bit of a background. I was raised and grew up in Pike county Illinois. I have hunted there all of my life. I have recently moved to New York State (just outside of Albany). I will be hunting on public land this year (I have never done this). I have been looking at climber stands (never used one) for the versatility. I was considering the API Grand Slam Bowhunter. The openness of it seems to be a good for shot mobility. But I have reconsidered because of some of the posts in the forum about Summit climbers. In the summit stands I am considering the Cobra XLS or the Viper XLS. The Viper XLS, from my point being new to climber stands, seems to be a bit more safe because of being enclosed, but I am concerned about shot movement. Any opinions and guidance on my dilemma will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for your time
Gabe
