RE: tree lounge tree stand
um, my Goliath SS is as comfortable to me as my TL. also i can stand up to piss out of my Goliath unlike my TL. i'm thinking i would have been more satisfied with my TL if i would have bought the larger one (the one made for people over 6'2"). i am 6'2" on the mark and i felt a little cramped in the regular one.
i like the TL BUT it has become my 2nd choice to my Goliath. now when i take friends hunt'n ilend them theTL and i use my Goliath.

i flood the woods all day long from the archery platform on my tree lounge. im 6 foot tall 270 lbs. i was wondering about the longer model for even more comfort myself. it just says that there isint one perfect stand for all.

i never bought the archery adapter for mine. i kinda got away from archery hunt'n since i bought the TL. don't take me the wrong way, the TL is comfortable BUT so is my Goliath!

RE: tree lounge tree stand
hey camo in all fairness never tried the goliath, anddon't own a TL but have used a few, like liquid mentioned idon't think there is a single climber that fits every situation, and what is comfortable for one may not be comfortable to all due to size of the person, injuries that a person has (i have a messed up back),the way one sits in a particular climber, or the weight of the climber itself
but i got to admit this picture looks pretty comfortable and summit has a lot of things i really like, like the ease of adjusting climber angle on the newer climbers and like imentioned i still use my SOP device. but i have used a viper and i really didn't like it as well as my ol'man but i will try a goliath and give a fair report, like i mentioned they are still (i think) made close by and i would really rather support a business that employs US workers and our local economy, from what i understand the current version of Ol'man is made across the pond[:@]

i've always heard good things about the Ol' man stands but i have never had the privledge to try one out. my climbing stand experience is limited to most Warren & Sweats (when they were American made), API Predator, TL and Summit Goliath SS. the only stands i currently own are the TL and Summit (i also own a couple ladder stands but i don't count them).

Love my TL but heavy and bucky for my vey hilly terrian where can be a problem. I bought a viper to carry in and out for change in location. Leave my TL up all season best sitting stand ever but the viper does come close.

RE: tree lounge tree stand
I love my Tree Lounge! This christmas my wife got me the shooting rail and blind for Christmas. Once you add on all the acessories yea it's heavy. BUT! That's just the thing. Your adding on accessories. The stand itself is not much heavier than any other out there. I think it weighs in at around 20lbs. If you fix it up a bit you can get in and out without any noise whatsoever. By fix up I mean put electrical tape on the parts of screws that just push through or use a ratchet strap to hold it for carrying. Nothing major. As for comfort...hell I've climbed almost 50' up without worrying about falling out. Sit alllllllll day. Peak Rut day this year I was in my stand for over 8 hours. Killed 2 bucks that day. One in the morning one that evening. Neither had any idea I was there sitting 35' above them munching on some crackers. With the lounge you can get up there so you dont have to worry about smell or sight. JUST HUNT. Like my buddy said "You can have my gun before you can have my tree lounge. I can't sleep in my gun but I can get a goooooooood rest in the lounge."
