Does anyone know when Summit will introduce their 2005 line of climbing stands?

I would like a Viper X4, but don't want to buy it at full price only to have the '05s come out a week later with vastly improved features.

The only improvement summit could make to the viper X4 would be to make it an auto climbing tree stand. You could sit down and push one button to start it and one to stop it. Now that would be neat.

Im not sure about the 05 stands. I have 2 summit stands and love them both. one of them is the viper and the other is the fold up bullet stand. I cant think of what they might do to improve them but I like mine real good. as far as a climbing stand I dont think I would own any thing other then a summit

I can't think of a thing that I would chang on my Viper.

They could come along and carry it for me.

The main change done to the Viper was to make it a Bullet! The Bullet is mainly a Viper that folds up nice for carrying in and out!

I just bought the ViperX4 last week at the BassPro shop in Vaughn for 344.00 CDN, which I didn't think was too bad .I wasn't willing to wait for the 05 model because I don't believe that there's a whole lot that they'll change on it .Maybe I'm wrong but I'm really impressed with the way this stand was biult ,this stand is rock solid and I just can't wait to get her into my hunting wood's for next season.
