I also believe a treestand isn't a place to save money. Look for one on sale but don't buy a cheap stand, you life could depend on it! Go with a company that has been around for some time and will continue to be around because of quality! JMO!

Summit Bushmaster- about $175 last year!

where can i find a viper x4? all i'm finding is x5's. a question on the x5 though, does that bar in the front get in the way when archer hunting?
