RE: Which climbing stand do you suggest?
I love the Ol' man line and feel they are superior...that' s why there are so many stands on the market and most are doing well because archers are a diverse group...like bows, none are the best just personal opinions.
I love my Ol' man, they pack easy, install easy, quiet, ease of use and more comfortable than any stand I' ve tried over the years. Many on this forum love the Summit line, I tried it, didn' t like it but that' s my opinion. Because of my one purchase of the Ol' man original, I' ve purchased an Ol' man Grand and have about 10 friends purchase the Ol' man line as well after simply trying mine.
If you get a chance, try them first, some are better than others and you might miss out if you don' t at least try the Ol' man.

I am a big summit fan myself. I honestly believe the are the very best line of climbing stands on the market. they combine all the features a bowhunter needs into one package. Strong, stable, quiet, user freindly etc. Try a summit before you buy anything else.

FWIW, I have a friend with an API Bowhunter and He hates the seat. Says it' s not comfortable at all and the straps dig into you. It has a sling typ seat, but not much for a pad on top. I have 2 Summits and wouldn' t consider buying anything else simply because my Summits are comfy, reliable, quit and lightweight.

I have an API, a Summit, a Cougar Claw and and Ole Man. My favorite is Ol' Man by far. Its ver quite, can climb very large trees, and the fit to your back while packing in is amazing. I prefer the Ol' Man elite or air elete over the orginal, its lighter and a bit smaller, easier to maneuver.
