Ive never heard of that brand.....but dang thats quite a price for a pretty nice looking climber

In fact, it does almost sound too good to be true.....Id be kind of wary. But thats just how my brain works...I think, the more you pay, the better it will be...even though I know thats not always true

Looks like a Summit doesn't it?

Seems kind of heavy at 28 lbs. I believe I'll stick with summit climbers.

It's made out of steel. and weighs 28 lbs. Thats why its $70
If your not going to move it around a lot it would be alright.

The one major drawback is that is weighs 28lbs, might not be good for longer walk ins.

Hey Magic, I think Hoyt Viper would like you to carry it for him.
Don't be girly men, it's only a 448 onces!

Thanks for the link. I may pick one up at that price. I don't do any long hike ins, and well...I'm not old like many of you, so the weight is a non-issue:D[8D]

I've drug a lot of big bucks out all by myself. So what the he11, I might as well lug around an anchor.

I've bought several items from Sportsmans Guide and you can't beat their prices!I believe they sell in large volumes and items that are either discontinued or model change items?I messed up last year on buying a 2-man ladder stand for around $75.00 that was almost twice that price in a local store! [:@]


I've noticed that they are starting to sell more newer hunting products,and if you join their Buyers Guide Club you save an additional 10% which will pay for itself after 1 or 2 purchases! ;)

That looks good to me, I saved it to my favorites. thanks:D

The way I look at it is 28 lbs is not much to carry a mile or two with a smoke break, and hell for that price I may buy two so I can lock them on a tree for when I come back to the area to look for another tree.

Magic....when you said you drug many a deer...my word association game started playing tricks on me!

So what comes to mind when someone says a deer snorted?

Good looking stand. But for me 28lbs matters alot. I hunt public mountain land and that much weight = busted arss when you get where your going.

Probably laid up with an 8ball and hoofed it up without me being invited!

RE: Climber...anyone heard of it?
 
It appears to be exactly like two that I have, they are from Ameristep, The Grizzly, not from grizzly though. S.G. sells knock offs and close outs, they are a good quality stand, grip like a pissed bear and are super stable, that locking strap cinches down the top and bottom, and it willnot shift. The only drawback is the weight. That is why I now own a Summit, I just dont want to carry all the lbs. but I take the steel ones out a few days before to locationsso I can hit and run if needed.

28 pounds is a horse. Too heavy.

I have one with the Hunter's View label on it. It is awfully heavy. I use it as a permanent stand, carry it into the woods before the season and carry it back out after. It is very comfortable and quiet, and easy to climb with.

RE: Climber...anyone heard of it?
 
I had one of these stands but gave it to one of my friends when he got interested in hunting. Used it myself for about 2 seasons, good quality just heavy but not terrible to carry, the extra weight makes it really bite into the tree and stay there. Now I switched to a summit but it's still around 19lbs, so I lost 9lbs and spent more $$. I'm thinking more and more about some LW steps and a very light seat. Overall not a bad buy for the $$ if you don't mind the extra weight.

i dont know about you, but when im 20 feet in the air i want a tree stand that wont get me killed, for that price how good could it be?

Hoyt_Viper 04-14-2008 11:50 AM

RE: Climber...anyone heard of it?
 
Im all about not carrying a buttload of crap on my back, but for this price I could get two and lock onto two different trees for when i decided to hunt that spot. I know its not light but its made of sturdy steel and with a weld its virually unbreakable.

The place I saw it has a ton of discounted stuff, even has the Loggy Bayou for under $150! You should check it out! http://www.sportsmansguide.com/net/cb/cb.aspx?a=422435.

They have deals on arrows, BH's,
