summit goliath ss for me. the ONLY complaint i have about my summit, is the powder coating job sucks. after the first years use the podwer coating started flaking off. after year two, it started peeling off. this year i am going to remove what is left of the powder coating and paint it myself.

I've tried many different types of stands. I have found that I really like the Tree Saddle{made by Trophy Line}and a set of Climb Paws{Climbpaws.com}to get up the tree. I can go in set up quickly{after work} andquietly.This system really works for me.

I worked at Gander Mountain for a while and although I use an Ol Man,I've heard nothing but praise for Summit stands from customers and experts alike.It'll probably be my next stand buy.
