Default Things you have done to your climber?

What kind of things have you done to your climber to make it better for hunting. As for me i just installed a bow holder on the right side of my viper xls so i can just reach over and pick up my bow. instead of behind me on the tree.

I have don a lot of things to my climbers over the years, but since I switched to Summits, the only thing I do is add a bow holder, and tie on a pull rope.

Agreed, 5 shot. My Summit's darn near about as perfect a climber as I could imagine. In fact, when I'm using the Viper XLS option, I just lay my bow across the bar. (I've got the Cobra XLS top, too.)

I did take a black spray paint can and paint some streaks across various points of the stand to help break up its outline.

I mounted a Quickee quiver bracket on it. I've experimented with 3 or 4 seat changes but none have worked. I wrapped all the rails in pipe insulation.

I added a waist belt. Bought one of the Buddy Loc belts at Walmart on clearance ($4.00) stripped it down and bolted it on.

Put a hook on each side under the arm rests for hanging things.($.75)

Added pieces of pipe to the front on each corner to put branches in to add cover. ($.50)

Replaced the strap for my toes with a rubber bungie cord. Holds my feet better no matter what boots I have on. ($1.50)

Added quick release buckles to the seat the match the ones on my hot seat. I can clip it on for more comfort. ($2.50)

Bow rest of course, and padded straps.

I can spend the whole day in it without any trouble.

Just a Qwikee bracket on my Summit. I'm sick of holding on to that bow all day though....bowholder will find its way on there this year.

Padded back straps, and a few blotches of paint. I may add a quiver bracket this year.

I removed the rubber grips on my api bowhunter and added a seat to make it a sit down stand up climber..
