Treestands?

[showmehorns]

In the market for a new one. I need it to be light and quick to setup. Comfort wise, it seems as if most of them these days are going to be tolerable. In the past i've used them all at one time or another, esp API and summit, but what out there is new and will meet my needs? How many like thier Lonewolf "climb and sits"?

I LOVE my Lone Wolf. I will say it isn't the lightest in the world, but it is very compact while carrying. I put a different seat on mine too, but that's just because I had a good butt print going in the one off my old stand. I don't pack mine up exactly the way the instructions say to, but I think that is up to the user. I would recomend buying the foot rests. They seem dainty, but they have done well. Past that I really don't have any complaints. When you're in the climbing position, the stand holds you very close to the tree which I like. Also the belt system is the most quiet I have experianced and simple to manuver in the dark. I'm going into my 3rd season with this one and it has been worth every penny.

I love my Summits! But, I will say that the Summit Razor is my favorite of all of the ones I have. The Razor has a drop-away front bar so it open for bow season, if a person chooses to drop it down. Plus, it only weighs 21 lbs.

TreeWalker 16lbs, comfortable, quite, and grips the tree like a pit bull

I like my Summit Open Shot for a climber and Gorilla Silverback for a lightweight lock on . I use Lone Wolf sticks with the lock on .

I have tried your list of stand and more. lone wolf,ol'man,api,summit,Timbertall Treestands.
try this stand and add a summit seat.. you will not need the shooting rails. I have one in my shop now. it is able to climb higher. you can start level and adjust safely as you climb. next time your in memphis area call me. I will give you a demo...trust me on this.. http://treestand.com/Merchant2/merchant ... Code=TS-CT

Lone wolf sticks and their assualt is my choice. It allows me to get into any tree and is same and fairly comfortable. plus the whole combo is right at 20 lbs which is hard to beat for the versatility.

I use a Summit but I think my next climber will be the Treewalker.

Sportsman's guide has their Guide Gear line of stands for very cheap. You can get a basic 15 ft. ladder stand for less than $50. Hard to beat if you are looking to purchase and hang several stands. I'm sure the old saying, "you get what you pay for" may be true when it comes to comfort.

Summits are awfully hard to beat but there are several good ones out there.

 

[midtndeerhunter]

love my summit razor

 

[Buck Assassin]

I got a cheap one off ebay. its comfortable and grips the tree good! only downside is its kinda heavy because its steel.

I like the summit open shot It is very light and I thought that it would be to small for me as I am not small and I don't like heights but after using for awile with my bow I could'nt imagine shootin from a different one. I rely heavily on my saftey harness.

I used to be partial to Summit until I bought a Lone Wolf climber. Very easy to backpack and absolutely quiet to put in the tree. The climbing cable won't wear out quickly like a Summit either.
