what kind of climbers are every one using i'm thinking of getting a new one this year and not sure which one to go with

Summit Goliath here. Got it last fall and used it more than any climber I've ever had. It's light weight, easy to set up, quiet, and reasonably priced.

Anything Summit is the way to go, but I have a Gorrilla walmart one and it does me just fine.

Summit Viper here. Just can't beat Summit.

IS THE VIPER SUMMIT SS A SIT DOWN AND CLIMB MODEL?

 

[semobow]

The viper and the goliath are almost the same stand. The goliath has more room on the upper half of the stand. They are both sit and climb models.

I have a Lone Wolf Alpha climber. It's light weight, quiet, and sturdy. The adjustable straps make it easy to get up most trees quickly. The seat isn't as comfortable as the Lone Wolf hang on but I sat in mine from sun up to sun down for 6 straight days last November.

Summit Viper . Had it for about 3 years now, and I love it.
One of the main places I hunt is bow only, and it is in the Canadian river bottoms in central Oklahoma. Almost every tree is clean and has no limbs till you hit 25-30 feet up, and they are all the diameter of a phone pole and bigger.

[GANDEE]

I just bought myself a Summit Razor a couple of weeks ago and think I am going to love it. My brother has had one for a year and loves his. I bought the side bags and the foot rest to put on it.

 

[swatcop]

Summit Viper SS. That thing is comfortable.

 

[Guest]

yep, If you can get it get the Viper.....as light as they are you can go the Goliath size and still be under 30 pounds.
If I ever get another one, it will be a Viper.
