Default TREE STANDS

DO THEY MAKE A TREECLIMBER (THAT YOU SIT FACING THE TREE) WITH THE CABLE SYSTEM? jUST WONDERING


I LOVE THE SUMMIT STANDS BUT I ALSO LIKE FACING THE TREE.

PorkChop,

I recently bought a BuckShot Magnum stand from Pinwheel 12 at his www.pinwheelproducts.com site.
It has a V-bar attachment which I prefer anyway. No rubber or plastic coated cables to rust, break, or fray ever!
My Magnun is heavy at 32 lbs but the standard BuckShot is 24 lbs.
I have a Doc's Recliner and my friend has a Tree Lounge.
My BuckShot in the facing the tree position is even more comfortable than a Tree Lounge!
It's stronger built and much more stable than the Lounge too.
It is comfortable with your back to the tree also but you wouldn't believe the comfort once you have the back rest properly adjusted facing the tree.
That's the beauty of the Buckshot.
You can choose either style, facing the tree or away.
Also, the V-bar is much stiffer and easier to climb with than cables or chains.
BuckShot now makes a cable version if that's what you prefer but I like the V-Bar best.
You can get a free video from their website but it took 5 weeks to get mine.
IMO, you can't find a better built or more comfortable stand!

Last years Summit Viper Extreem had the option of facing the tree. I couldn't find it on this years model but last year when I bought my Summit Viper that was one thing I considered when looking at the different options. I didn't go with that model though. I went with the Viper XLS which I love.

Chop,
The Buckshot Centershot is a cable climber but you have to buy the backrest attachment. I'm with Sagittarius on this one though. I don't really like the cables. I prefer the metal V-bars. They never wear out.
