Summit

That pretty much sums it up for ya! I have the cobra and have had it for prolly 5 years, and love it!

I have a Summit Viper that is comfortable, but my favorite is my climber made on the old Buckshot/Warren and Sweat basis that faces the tree when you are sitting. You have a very comfortable, light, easy to climb stand that also allows you the usage of the tree to hide behind and to use as a prop to shoot off of.

Iv had nothing but luck with my summitt, great quality. Im even somewhat careless with mine in that I leave it outside for long amounts of time, never had a single problem other than Iv worn the seat out, lol.

THANKS FOR THE RESPONSES. I WAS ALREADY LEANING TOWARDS SUMMIT BUT WANTED TO SEE IF ANYONE HAD ANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THEM. LOOKS LIKE MY MIND IS MADE UP. THANKS AGAIN!!

RE: CLIMBING TREESTANDS
 

Tried several including Summit, Lone Wolf and API....for me Summit is the best. The only other climber I would consider would be a Treewalker.

RE: CLIMBING TREESTANDS
 

VAhunter THANKS FOR THE INFO. I CHECKED OUT THE TREEWALKER ONLINE. LOOKED AT THE SPECS AND IT SEEMS SIMILAR TO THE SUMMIT VIPER. THE ONLY THING I DON'T LIKE IS THE MESH/NET SEAT. I HAVE THE SAME TYPE OF SEAT ON MY OL'MAN AND IT GETS UNCOMFORTABLE AFTER LONG SITS AND THEY SEEM TO STRETCH AFTER A WHILE. MAYBE I NEED TO LOSE A FEW POUNDS!!

Cougar Claw.

Unlike Summit they are 100% made in the USA in Foley Al. They are every bit as comfortable and easy to set up as a Summit but also give you the option of adjusting your treestand angle to level it out while it is on the tree if you opt for the leveling system. The arms are not in the way either.

The cables are squared offonthe ends to fit perfectly inside the square tubingso you don't have to twist the cable to find the pinhole in the dark.They include a flip out foot rest. They have a pouch attached to the front of the seat for your drinks, snacks, etc... The padded back rest extends up the tree to shoulder height to keep you from rustling against the tree. They are all rated to 300 pounds. And an unconditional 5 year warranty.

I sell Summit, Olman, and Cougar Claw and Iuse a Cougar Claw big bubba prowler with leveling system and I doubt I will ever need another climber.
What other climber measures 25 1/4" W x 38" L in the seat and still only weighs 22.5 pounds and can hold 300 pounds?
