I am not about to argue with all you Summit guys. Based on your responses they are clearly great stands. I would just like to say i love my API Grand Slam bowhunter. Yes, it is a little heavy and big, but that is exactly what i like about it. I can stay all day in it and be quite comfortable. Just my two cents worth.

Lone Wolf Alpha-hangon works great for me. Pack it in for elk is a breeze. Light, compact and quiet.

try the others first then try buck shots big shot tree stand they are awesome. You won't be sorry.

Loggy Bayou. Very solid once you reach your height and lock it in. And because it is solid and I feel very comfortable in it, I am able to climb higher, with a safety harness ofcourse. Very comfortable seat also. All day hunts aren't a problem. I like 'em alot <img src=icon_smile_approve.gif border=0 align=middle>!!!

For my money Summit stands are the best. Cobra, Viper, Python all are great models, I have two summit stands as of now and a warren and sweat but the summits are by far my favorites.

summett viper has my vote it is safe and very comfortable the problem is to stay awake when in it.They are very relaxing

Summit climbers fit me better than any other climber out there.

Everyone has their own ideas when it comes to the definition of the &quot;best&quot;. Comfort is certainly important. Ease of putting up the stand is a plus. Without a quiet stand you might as well go home. Safety, well that goes without saying.

One of the descriptions I find suspiciously missing is versatility! Have you ever found what would seem to be the perfect location but no straight trees to hang it on?? The &quot;best&quot; overall stand that I can think of after trying quite a few different brands is a couple from 'Buckfinder' products, the Scouter and the Sundowner! These stands will go in almost any tree.
