I hunted out of my Goliath exclusively for three years, 100's of trips up and down the trees. Excellent stands. When I bought my Goliath, the Titan wasn't invented yet, or I would have bought one. I set the top section like I'm sitting in a barstool, as opposed to those that set it real close to the bottom. I'm 6'10" though, so when I stand up even with the top set up high, I still have plenty of room with the front bar. Climbing is SIMPLE and painless because of the bar, as well as safety while in stand is greatly increased by having that padded bar. You absolutely won't be disappointed in the Titan if you get one. Also, the Summit side/front bags are awesome. With my climber, I don't carry a pack, everything I need is in the bags.
i put 1 on each side.
it does not hold as much as summit bags but holds everything i want other than my lunch/thermos bottle .
i cut the belt off and secured it to summit with 3 plastic ties.
its GREAT. i have my climbing rope/harness/limb saw/bow pull up rope/hooks in these.i stick my small fanny pack inside my 180 max or titan to carry.
we modified alot of things on 180 ma/titan.
if anyone would like tips, drop me PM.
TAKE CARE SPROUL

I bought this stand last year and it is extremely comfortable, in fact it is more comfortable than my 2 man ladder stands. I am 6' 3" and at the time I was 260 lbs..... and I had plenty of room to shoot my bow (I always stand when shooting the bow)

i can move if a buck is shot out of area. today in pa you have usually only 1 buck now in your area.if it is shot out, you have to move.that happens a lot now.you cant sit in 1 spot anymore in wmu2g of clinton county.
biggest thing is THEFT and NO ONE KNOWING YOUR SPOT.i had 17 new jersey hunters sitting around me last year trying to get buck i was after.
so i did away with my ladderstands.........

Go for the Lone Wolf Wide Sit and Climb. No bar to get in the way. I shoot sitting all the time, less movement and less shot opportunities lost. Summit is a good stand too, the seat is a bit more comfortable but the Lone Wolf shines when packing in and making the shot with a bow.

but MOST want summit because of price/comfort/service.
i like BAR in front of me and most of time i stand up to shoot my recurve.bar allows me too feel secure .
i take nap in my stand if i am doing all dayer and i like bar in front.

I have a goliath which seems similar. The only issue is that the bar in front can limit some shots at very close range. You can minimize that by practicing shooting close up out of it. Other than that I see no problems. Summit stands in general are super easy to use, quiet, stable and very comfortable. Overall I think you will be happy with the stand.
They also seem to lock onto the tree securely and provide the most comfort of all.....that comfort of feeling safe.
