No Brainer

DJ from Temperance, Mi

This stand is going to be your best option unless you're bowhunting on land you've scouted in advance and then a prehung stand will probably be a better option (no noise from banging on saplings and less weight walking in), but when going into a new area or wanting to be flexible with positioning while bowhunting you can't beat this climber. It hooks up to the tree quickly with no pins, it bites into the bark securely, it lets you sit down while climbing, the safety strap moves with you while climbing, and with the cinch strap provided to attach the seat portion of the stand to the tree once you get to desired height you don't have to worry about bumping the top with your hip while standing and having it fall clanging onto the foot portion. Don't worry the front rail isn't in the way when shooting your bow because your cam will be in front of it while shooting. You will even be able to cover the back angles well if you don't hook the seat portion up as high leaving the rail a couple … Read more

This is a very good stand.

Braedon S. from New Hope, MN

This is a very easy stand to use. When the stand is in the tree it feels safe enough to river dance on it. the stand is very solid in the tree. Few set backs is the box it comes in, thats almost the size and shape it will be when carried into the woods. And the only other set back is that the metal makes noise when walking to your tree. The fix to the noise is they make something called stand wrap. Put this wrap on every metal that your feet do not touch when you would be in the stand that will solve the clinking problem when walking out into the woods. Read more

Simply ..."THE BEST" there is

Bowman from Coventry.RI

I have been an avid deer hunter for over 30 years. This stand is a must have for any serious deer hunter. Having taken mechanical engineering in college I can honestly say that the craftsmanship and materials used on this stand are of top quality; who else gives a FIVE year warranty. I could not believe how quiet this stand climbs, and the comfort and feeling of safety is what I have searched hard for and finally found. There is absolutely nothing complicated about using this stand. There is a video included that CLEARLY explains EVERYTHING involved in taking this stand from the box to safely sitting in your favorite tree. The harness is of top quality and is the first one I have recieved with any stand I own that I could figure out effortlessly. The stand packs and unpacks together well. The engineering on this product is incredible. Everything is included that a hunter needs for a SAFE, long stay on stand. I had a treefall accident years ago so I strive for safety while hunting. This … Read more

Great Stand, Success with first use!

Yankee in Virginia from Jeffersonton, VA

Very minimal assembly required and no moving parts to squeak. As a regular tree stand user, I was able to get the "hang" of this one right away. Easy to carry, set up and comfortable. The stirrups are a great design. Shot a nice buck opening day of the 2007 Virginia Muzzleloader season first time I used the stand! Cannot find anything wrong with this product. Read more

worth the money

lineman nick from midland, MI

im one of those guys who would rather save a few bucks and drag around a little more weight, until i got turned around last year on some federal land and walked for 3 hours. so there was some extra money in the piggy bank this year and i bought the viper. i cant express how upset i am that i didnt do this years ago! i love this thing. it's comfortable, comes with an extra strap to tie the platforms together when your walking, did i say comfortable? and light. the only con would be that when my rubber boots are wet they squeak when i turn. but thats the only down side to this stand, its great.
