I have took the advice of everyone here, and decided not to get the Hunter's View Hawk Treestand because of the weight. I have decided to go ahead and wait to get the Summit Viper XLS treestand. My question is this......where do you recommend a good place online, or even offline to get this treestand. I am looking for the best prices. BassPro has it for 249, plus shipping. I am thinking I could probably pick it up somewhere else cheaper. If anyone can recommend a site/store, please do so. Thank you.

Ozzfavors, I got my from http://www.biggameproshop.com/summittreestands.htm

It was the cheaps place I could find. I got it in 4 days.

Thanx for the link. They had the Summit Viper Extreme XLS (the next up model) for cheaper than basspro had the viper xls. So I think I'll go through them, unless I find something cheaper, but cheaper isn't always better, customer service is a big seller for me also. Have you had any problems with these people? I'm sure you haven't or you wouldn't have recommended them, but it never hurts to ask.

Review the Lone Wolf Sit & Climb before you commit to buying the Summit Viper. I researched stands for almost a year before I decided to go with the Lone Wolf S&C, & I'm so glad I did, this stand is the quietest stand made & is the simplest to use & hook up. I was going from the stand on my back to being up 20 ft in the tree in 3-4 minutes within a week after buying it, & it folds up & backpacks to leave just as quick. Trust me you may be happy with your Viper but if your going to spend that much money get the best go with the Lone Wolf.

Try Dick's Sporting Goods, I saw the Viper in an Ad for $100 bucks off.
