RE: Summit Climbing Stand
I have the viper I like, it its nice to have the bar in the frount when you are at full draw. Its just "bumps you back so you dont fall. And not falling is a good thing. As far as the size goes Iam 250 lb 6 foot andI fit in it just fine. The biggest problem is every time I use it I fall asleep

I have the summit backpacker climber and love it. Very light, folds flat, sets-up easily, and very sturdy and comfortable when in a tree. I agree with liking the bar in front as it does add a safety feature. You can not go wrong with summit!

I run a Goliath and LOVE IT!!! Summit IMO is so clearly ahead of any others in the climbing market, and soon to be tops in the hang on market too with the Deer Deck. Super quiet, very comfortable. I like the front bar and haven't had any problems as far as shooting. Get a couple of the side bags and you'll get rid of your backpack as well.

Since I gun hunt and bow hunt, and I'm 6'5" 285lbs, I would probably go with the 180 Max SS or the Goliath, because of the increased room of the climber, and size of the seat.

I guess GRIZZLYMAN is an appropriate tag for you given your stats!

RE: Summit Climbing Stand
Ok....now I have two additional questions...1) As far as "sinching" the seat up, is that comfortable??? I looked at the viper stand and thought that keeping that bar WOULD be the perfect bow rest; however, I don't want to sacrifice comfort too much....and 2) how much room is there on the Razor if you keep the bar up and use it like the viper if needed?? I am leaning toward the Razor and a bow holder at this point.
