RE: The best climbing stand ever !!!
 

I tried the new climber and I can't say enough. The system is the sturdiest and most comfortable stand I have ever used (I own a Summit Vipor and love it but....)The only problem I have with the Summit stand is putting the elastic strap back around my heels 20' up in a tree I am a big guy so its a pain, I like to get up high but I dont like being up there you know what I mean. I get very uneasy putting the hand climber over my head so I can bend over far enough to reach the straps. The NT has built in place to put your feet so the stand wont slide off. The engineering of this stand is great it has pivoting arms with a cable thru it that really grips the tree. the seat can be placed at 2 different spots high on the climber for bow hunting and lower for gun to take advantage of the arm rests it also has places to hang stuff like binoculars grunt tubes etc. the climber straps to th stand to keep constant pressure on the climber so you can't knock it off. It has a gun holder and a bow holder for it. And it weghs only 19 lbs and supports 275 lbs. It feels like a 14 pound pack and packs alot flatter than my Summit. The stands they make are awsome I talked to several outfitters who use only NT stands for there clients because they fell safe with them. try www.nttreestands.com

Got two loggys and a treelounge, one lock on and a climbing stick.

Ain't no need for nothin else.

Unless, of course, they make one that climbs all by itself.

Racassasin: Shortly before they went belly-up and changed hands the people at Loggy made a stand with composite arms. It might have been the factory that made the Loggy that did it. Anyway, I bought one at the show in Harrisburg the year they came out. They never did get in the stores. It was called the MasterHunter I believe. I practiced in my back yard. Exactly the same as my old Loggy except no band(composit arms instead). After practicing I took it on a trip to the Adirondacks. The first time up a tree I got 10 or 12 feet up and took a big bite to climb faster. As soon as I had all my weight on the handclimber the composite arm broke dumping me backwards and downwards onto the platform. The platform composites broke dumping me downward upside down. Fortunately I was pushing my safety belt up ahead of me. It snatched me to a halt upside down 10 feet up. I'm hanging there cussing staring at my bow below me. I (with some swinging and clawing with my hands) got up righted, unsnapped my snap ring and shimmied down. It was then I had an on-going war with Loggy for several months. The final outcome, I smashed and cut up the stand so no one would try to resurrected it and took it to the dump. I'll never by a stand again with so much as a bowholder made from composite materials.

Yeah, that is too expensive. I will probablly keep my Summit Bushmaster XL for a LONG time. I love the thing. It is one of the best stands out there, but that is just my opinion.

Good Luck This Season: Buck Magnet
P.S. Only Chuck Adams can sit at home and see deer so get into the woods. =;^)

My Summit Bushmaster and Viper XL's are great, and more affordable. This Non Typical stand sounds impressive, but too pricy...seems to be the big problem!

I am with you I am not going to throw away my Summit Vipor. They make Hummers, vanstall reels, G loomis rods, and guided hunting trips to the mid west for trophy elk, that I cant afford either but I know alot of people who can and walk around with a grand in there pocket just in case. So if you can it is worth the measly $350. LOL
