Summit stands are hard to beat.

if you plan to hunt hard all day the TREE LOUNGE is a good choice. its got great accesories and the newer lighter version is better on the back altrhough i also have the older version and use the wheels that attach to it. good luck deciding you have a difficult task.:eek:

I' ve tried the summit and the lone wolf and went with the lone wolf. I liked them both, but the lone wolf was quieter set-up and packed to a small couple of inches thick.

Well for me it' s a Summit. I spent a lot of time in my goliath Saturday and it is by far the easiest, quietest, most comfortable and stable climbing stand I have every used. I actually fell asleep for a while, when I woke up to the sound of a buck grunting, then I realized the " buck" was me snoring! LOL[:o]:D I can get my summits setup and climbing in no time, and once at hunting level I can spend hours in complete comfort. I know you will like any of the Summit stands, and you won' t find better customer service anywhere.

I have been hunting since the early 80' s and most of that time was spent in trees. I now use the Summit Cobra XLS. It has an open front design, which is perfect for bowhunters. It weighs in at a mere 17 pounds, and has thick cushions for a very comfortable time in the tree.

I have a API Bowhunter and a Lone Wolf Climber and my hands down favorite is the API. It climbs very easy and is very comfortable. The Lone Wolf packs and climbs nice but the seat is terrible, if they could come up with a better seat this stand would be really hard to beat but until then my API is my favorite.

Someone mentioned the hand climbers being hard on the upper body. I do not agree with that, If used properly all of the climbing is done with the legs not the upper body. I just use the hand climber to hold onto and then bring my legs up so the legs do all of the work.

Just my 2 cents worth, Have a great day! :)

I have used several Warren and Sweat hang-on models in the past but eventually went to an API Bowhunter climber model about 5 or 6 years ago. I have been very happy with its performance and overall construction.

However, with all the positive things that have said about Summit over the years I thought it was a good idea to eventually try one of them as well. This past summer I had that opportunity and now own a Summit Revolution that I am very excited about. The comfort level is a little higher on the Revolution in comparison to the Bowhunter however, I thought the Bowhunter model was a somewhat quieter stand. Both models were extremely easy to use and seem to be very well put together.

Hopet this helps.
