Viper x5

RE: Viper x5
I really like the Viper, but I also like the Ameristep Non Typical Lite. I looked both over closely last season before buying, and felt the Ameristep was more comfortable to sit in and was also $50 cheaper. You can't go wrong either way, but both are of similar design and both deserve a good look before you decide.

RE: Viper x5
I have a Viper and it is the most comfortable stand I own and I own a lot. I would also check out Excaliber 43's post in hunting gear review here and check out that video on Equalizer treestands. They really impress me.

RE: Viper x5
One and only thing I would suggest is to make sure you like a fixed bar in front of you while in your stand bow hunting. I have the Viper x4(which is exactly the same) and I thought I wouldn't mind the fixed bar in front. I kind of dislike it and wished I bought a climber where you could remove that climbing bar some how. For gun hunting it's great...for bow hunting-not so much and it's just in the way. But that's a personal preference type thing.
Good luck
