    Default Did I Make A Mistake?

    Went out this weekend looking for a new climber.......have never been one who really liked climbing, but I know, to get where the deer are you have to learn how to climb. I looked at both the Summitt Goliath and the biggest Ole Man that they make (seeing as how I am a little big bigger....6 foot 315 lbs.) The Ole Man was about $90 cheaper and I decided to go with it. Did I make a mistake or is this a pretty good stand?

    I couldn't tell you. I've never used an Ol Man, but I can tell you that you would not have been disappointed with the Summit.

    Yes summit are good. But Ole Man are good also. They were one of the best couple years back. Summit just has made a huge rus hear the last year or two. You did good with the Ole Man nothing wrong with it!!!!

    I have no experience with Old Man but I love my Summit Viper. Easily the most comfortable stand I've ever sat it.

    I am a big guy too, 6'4 275, and I am going to go with the Summit, but friends of mine really like their Ol Man stands.

    Ive got an Ol'Man Grand Vision climber and really like it! All of my friends have the same and a few even have the lighter titanium series which they say they wouldn't trade it off for anything. I like the gun/foot rest my grand vision has and the net seat is plenty comfortable. Best of all I feel pretty secure when sitting in it cuz its roomy and can support up to 400lbs. There isnt a way you could have gone wrong buying either cuz I have heard nothing but great things about summits too!

    I have both the ol-man mutilvision and the summit Revolution. Both are good stands and I cant say one is better than the other. The olman makes no noise at all while climbing, while the summit make some while climbing. The summit is a bit more comfortable but you can get the ol-man cushion seat and it is just as comfortable. The ol-man is eaisier to back around also. You wont be sorry.

    nhhunter, sound like a nightmare. I know of about 12 people now that have them and noone ever had that happen. I have owned 3 and only sold 1 of the old ones to get the mutivision. I have summit stand also and they are good. I have two of the Summit revolution stands.
