Hey Darryl good to see here. I believe it is the Gun -Slinger but haven' t been able to find any inf. about it. I highly do recommend getting those Bit-n-blades.It has really helped my foot climber grab the tree.If you haven' t had a slipping problem with your New Version TL count yourself lucky.I was at a gun shop in Georgia and they were talking about different stands. The TL was mentioned and not much good was said about it.I trying to get more inf about Doc' s Recliner.I have another post on this forum and so far no comments.If you happen to know the name of the company that makes the GUN-SLINGER,please let me know. I know it' s made in St. Augustine FL. Thanks

I got the information I was looking for about the Gun-Slinger climber.For those interested : JRH Sport Industries,Inc. 6550 State Road 16, St Augustine Florida 32092 (904) 940-3381. I have a brochure on the way.I' m anxious to see what they have to offer.

Thanks for the info Ruger my brother doesn' t live very far from there I' ll have him check them out for me.

oldelkhunter,I received the brochure from Doc' s recliner. Looks like a nice stand. Very similar to our favorite the TL.It only has a 280 pound weight capacity.With my rifle and stuff I would just exceed that weight limit.I talked to a guy who has a Doc' s Recliner.He said it is comfortable but very hard to descend with.He said you have to lean away from the tree to come down.I' ve heard the same about the Treelounge being hard to ascend and descend.With a little practice it becomes very easy.Let me know what you think of the Gunslinger when you talk to your brother.They' ll send you a free brochure.

After seeing all these post aren' t I just so happy that I didn' t sell my Summit Viper and buy the Lounger. Not one slip or sway in years of hunting outta my Vipe.

bowhuntin1 It' s the new Model Treelounge where the problems are. The old models are still tops on my list.I debating on the Gun-slinger.Looks like a nice stand except for facing the tree.If it wasn' t for that I would have already ordered it. Happy Climbing.

On another Hunting site there is a gentleman who is working or will be with Treelounge about these issues.Apparently TL knows there is a problem with the new versions and are trying to correct it.Talk of redesigning the vee section. There' s also talk about the Levelers too!Hopefully TL will correct these problem. It would be nice to get a upgrade kit to correct the ones already in use.Something is in the works. I would like to be able to use my new version without the fear of slipping.I' ll keep it posted as I hear anything.

No thanks.....I' ll just stay with my nice solid as a rock Viper while they toy with fixing their flaws.

No slips....shifts......squeeks.........just too dang comfy to stay awake.

Bowhuntn1...there is no finer stand or more comfortable stand made then the original tree lounge. only gripe I have with them is weight ..your viper is not even on the same planet say what you want...My brother owns a revolution and it is not on the same planet as an old TL either and that is their top of the line...TL went a little overboard on the new stand and didn' t get some stuff right but I am sure in time it will be fixed...meanwhile I have the old one(s) to use and will continue to do so until I can find something better...nothing in the Summit line is worth wasting my time or money.

I second that oldelkhunter. It will be a long time before someone makes a more comfortable stand then the old model TL. I' m still waiting to hear what TL is going to do about the new version. It should be intresting.
