I got a great deal on an API Grand Slam Supreme last year and I was really impressed with its ease of climbing, comfort and stability.

I can' t believe any stand is more comfortable than the Grand Slam Supreme by API. It is a little heavy if you have to back-pack it very far, but otherwise it' s a great stand !

Definitely the Summit Revolution. I had a Viper and traded the upper half of it for the upper half of a Revolution (plus a few dollars). It is very, very comfortable, and does not have a rail to interfere with my longbows!

comfort = summit but if you have to carry far look at the wieght of any stand you buy.......my summit is around 16lbs my only complaint is it does fold down flatter!!!
but i understand the 2003 model fold flat now!!!!!!

Your understanding on the new Summit climbers is right on the money.....

Here they are.

Huntforlife -- You talking about the Bigshot by Buckshot? Cause if you are, you need to e-mail me, could hook you up reasonable.

sounds like a summit stand sales clinic. For me it' s the tree longe I can stay in it all day. I have lots of lock on stands that I go to in the beginning of the season but when the pressure builds I will move to my Treelonge. I have do problem with the noise or climbing.

What about a Lone Wolf?[]

i have to agree with some of my API buddies on up the list i think that the grand slam supreme is unbeatable. i don' t think that it is that heavy. and even if it is, the stand comes with backpack straps. i hike it about 1 mile to a little further and its not that big of a deal. the weight wouldn' t keep me from buying it.
