    Yep, Summit viper is great. Actually you cant go wrong with any of the Summit climbers.

    summit viper or the goliath depending on your size, I bought a viper a few years ago and have only gotten taller and am going to sell my viper and buy a goliath...but the summit line up of climbers ARE the best....you'll love it.

    I've used a summit bushmaster for about the past 8 yrs, and it great for bowhunting, it's light and not to bulky. I'd stick with summit, really well built and not too pricy, but it's all about what you like and what you feel comfortable in.

    I just bought the Summit Viper umm a week ago, it's a great, I'm still getting used to climbing with it, so I'm working the kinks out, but It's amazing, I actually fell asleep in it twice tonight, rofl. It's amazingly comfortable, easy to carry through the woods, and not heavy. I'd recommend it to anyone. Summit Viper A+

    if your an archer I personally recommend the summit razor. You can push the front rail down out of the way of your limbs. I have the razor and the viper and I like the razor better.

    Ive never used a summit, but I have had great luck with the APA grand slam lite. mine is several years old & I dont know if you can buy a new one.

    +1. I've had the Razor for about 3 years now, very nice stand.

    I thought about the Lone Wolf Hand Climber, had one but never hunted out of it, just didn't feel safe. Bought it and sold it in the same week.
