Which treestand is the most comfortable?

1) Summit Viper

2) API Grandslam Extreme

Does anyone ever get uncomfortable in any of these stands?....Do you more around alot in them?

RE: Which treestand is the most comfortable?
 

I had an older API Grand Slam Extreme and it was extremely comfortable but no more so than my current stand, a Viper XLS. The API had just a tad bit more room it seemed but not much. I think the Viper is quicker and easier to set up. I would have to pick the Viper over the API since they went bankrupt and are reportedly being made over seas now.

One thing I forgot to mention. It can be hard to stay alert in either one of these stands on warm afternoons!

I have never gotten uncomfortable in my Summit Viper. Have pull a few all-dayers in it. I have the room to move around a lot, but I dont' need to.

I have never used the API.

tabby...when you hunted all day in your Viper did you ever get uncomfortable???

Hunting all day is what I want to do...but right now ..hunting from a wooden treestand...I just can' t stay all day...it is kinda hard to stay for more than 4 hours....lol...

I just made the switch to the Viper. I used to use a newer Loggy Bayou and it was ok, but not a Viper;). The last three weeks of archery season, I sit all day in the stand. With the Loggy I could do it, but by about 3 in the afternoon, It was killing me. I just pulled an all dayer in the Viper yesterday and it was a breeze!! I didn' t get standass all day! It very easy to stay comfortable in this stand. The only complaint I have is that there isn' t a lot of elbow room in it. The bars are just a tad too tight, but the Goliath stand remedies that.

All in all, I the Summit stands are excellent and trust me, you will not get uncomfortable in this stand.

I have an API and I love it. But I think either of them would be a good choice.

I must be gettin old man...I still pull the all day deal but there ain' t a portable out there that can keep me comfortable on an all day sit anymore.:D

neither, try the Ol Man vision. You won' t be sorry.

Not much difference between the 2 at all, I pick the Viper over the API only because of the cable hook-up, its a whole lot easier than trying to thread the pins thru a chain on the API, but as far as comfort they are about the same.

Definely the tree lounge! But, mines the old one and hard to climb with. I leave mine in the tree during the season. But man it' s comfortable![8D]

RE: Which treestand is the most comfortable?
 

I would rate them about the same as well. I have an API Bowhunter and a Summit Revolution. The Summit has a slight lead in terms of comfort but only because of the foot rest. Take that away and I would call it dead even.

I have a API grand slam and like it ,the only problem is it' s a little small for me , I' m kinda big 6' and 250, I have big legs and have found that it gets a little tight sometimes. I have been pondering a Old man stand.
Other than that it' s confortable and I always hunt all day. Jim

A buddy of mine has an API GS Bowhunter and thinks it' s the most uncofortable thing on the planet. He hunted out of my backup stand --a Viper -- and he told me he was getting himself a Summit for next year! I' ve used his climber before and I feel the same way about it....now, if API changed their seats a bit it could only be an imporvement.
