Which climber for bow hunting?
Can anyone recommend a climber for bowhunting? The features I rate from most important to least are:
1. safety
2. quietness
3. cost
4. weight
Which brand and model and what features you like about them?
Thanks for the help!

I havea Summit Broadhead backpacker. It's not super light and there is a bit of setup involved everytime you go out, but I'd still rather use it than any of my hang-ons. SUPER comfy, safe, quiet.

I really like my Summit Viper X5 ive used it for 2 seasons now and i absolutly love it. It's really quiet. I never feel unsafe in that treestand its really sturdy, it doesn't move at all when u get it up in the tree. Its also very comfortable also. It cost about 250 i think.

Thanks for the feedback. The Viper is the one I've been leaning towards although a buddy of mine has been trying to convince me to go with an Ol' Man. I wonder how they compare side by side?

I have had 2 ol'mans. I had one stolen, and currently hunt out of the other. I think they are greatstands. The mesh seat is comfortable, and They make some that are pretty light also. I have never felt " unsafe " in it, in fact I have dozed off a few times in it.I can't say it is better than the Summit, because I have never used a Summit, but I do know they are worth a look.
